Overview
Acu-Tech Piping Systems manufactures high-density polyethylene (HDPE) piping solutions for civil, industrial, and mining applications across Australia. With energy requirements growing, Acu-Tech set out to reduce their reliance on the grid and secure a dependable, long-term power solution that could support continuous production without relying on diesel backup generation.
Evo Energy Technologies delivered a fully integrated system featuring 2 x 2G Avus 1000 Plus G2P engines, now fully commissioned and operational at the Redbank facility. These high-efficiency natural gas engines provide continuous on-site generation of electricity, giving Acu-Tech reliable power independent of grid constraints and removing the need for diesel generation entirely.
The system delivers:
- Full offset of grid power limitations on site
- Complete displacement of the existing diesel generators
- Improved overall site energy efficiency
- A scalable, modular platform to support future growth
The outcome
Replacing three ageing diesel generators with two 2G G2P units has halved Acu-Tech's power generation costs while producing more electricity than the diesel units it replaced. The project was completed at a time when diesel fuel costs had risen sharply, reinforcing the long-term value of transitioning to a high-efficiency gas-based G2P solution. By moving away from diesel, Acu-Tech benefits from stronger cost predictability, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improved operational resilience.
Evo Energy Technologies managed the full project scope, from initial engineering and equipment supply through to installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance support.
