Collicutt Energy is more than a power generation equipment provider. The experienced team of rentals, sales, engineers, project managers, technicians, and execution make for a perfect partner that’s deeply invested in their clients’ success and is agile in their response to the evolving landscape of energy regulations and market demands.
From emergency standby power units to high-efficiency prime power systems for continuous and efficient energy generation, its manufacturing crews continually up the ante on service and product quality to ensure they meet their clients’ needs.
In a strategic move that attests to its market acumen, Collicutt has expanded its footprint with a new, fully-equipped facility in Bakersfield. This hub, staffed with skilled technicians and sales professionals, serves the prime power market and the thriving agricultural sector of California. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to sustainable growth and superior customer service, reflecting Collicutt’s dedication to not only meeting but anticipating client needs.
In tandem, the company has sharpened its focus on prime power enhancements, introducing an innovative fuel blending package that merges biogas with natural gas, maximizing resource efficiency while minimizing environmental impact.
The company has also carved a niche in supporting critical infrastructures like data centers and large hospitals, which depend on multiple backup generators. Over the past two years, this focus has been honed to perfection, showcasing Collicutt’s ability to specialize where it matters most.
Collicutt’s clientele is increasingly drawn to these eco-conscious solutions to lower emissions from their operations. To this end, Collicutt also offers a suite of aftermarket products designed to curtail emissions from generators and other reciprocating engines, further solidifying its position as a leader in environmentally responsible energy solutions.
Dave Taylor, VP of U.S. Operations at Collicutt Energy, underscores the timeliness of the company’s expansion. “Across the U.S., there’s a concerted drive toward sustainability, with states like California spearheading the movement by revamping generator regulations to align with the rigorous Tier 4 emissions standards. This shift is a critical step toward achieving cleaner emissions and reflects a broader commitment to environmentally sound power solutions,” he says.
Despite challenges posed by supply chain disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Collicutt excels in delivering cost-effective solutions with quick project turnaround times. They stand out by meeting specified requirements while simultaneously enhancing efficiency and reducing emissions.
Take, for instance, the way Collicutt is at the forefront of tackling sustainability challenges in the diesel industry, where diesel generators contribute to a growing carbon footprint by releasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases when burning fuel.
Collicutt’s bold foray into using Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel for diesel generators is a groundbreaking step to reduce diesel particulate emissions. The benefits of HVO extend beyond environmental impact to economic gains. It is more stable than conventional diesel, has an extended storage life, and blends directly with existing diesel supplies, mitigating the need for tank drainage prior to refueling. The reduced need for filtration— common with standard diesel due to algae—is another cost-saving advantage, as it lessens the likelihood of fuel filter clogging.
Adopting HVO has led to impressive environmental outcomes, including a dramatic decrease in carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90 percent and a notable reduction in sulfur oxide emissions. Clients transitioning from traditional diesel to HVO fuel have also observed improved performance. These out-of-the-box innovations demonstrate Collicutt’s dedication to environmental stewardship and its role in driving forward-thinking solutions that are both practical and cost-effective.
A compelling case exemplifying the company’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions involves a client whose operations were generating biogas, predominantly methane, as a byproduct of waste decomposition.
Instead of flaring the gas, a common practice, Collicutt designed a solution to blend the biogas with natural gas to be used as fuel in reciprocating engines to generate electricity. This system was designed so that emissions met the stringent requirements of the local air district.
This forward-thinking approach not only allowed the client to avert a looming shutdown due to methane emissions but significantly improved the sustainability of the plant’s performance.
With sights set on further expansion, Collicutt Energy is now extending its reach in the Sacramento area by amplifying its rental fleet in Northern California. The company is also strategically pivoting toward the microgrid domain, supplying controllers that manage electrical loads across diverse power sources and grid demands. Complementing this is Collicutt’s venture into battery storage, enhancing power reliability in the face of renewable sources’ intermittency.
These initiatives seamlessly align with Collicutt’s overarching goal of redefining the benchmark for power generation. The company’s commitment to ‘powering tomorrow through unrivaled solutions today,’ can be seen delivering excellence and innovation in every endeavor.
