\nMore and more companies are focusing on sustainability, energy efficiency, and reducing their CO2 emissions. Critical power supply<\/a><\/strong> is also part of this transition. Our new 1600kVA mobile UPS can run on renewable HVO fuel and is ready for the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Luminus Solutions, we continuously explore how to align our solutions with the sustainability goals of our customers. One such possibility is the use of HVO as an alternative to conventional diesel in our dynamic rotary UPS systems<\/a> (DRUPS) and mobile UPS solutions<\/a> (MUPS).<\/p>\n

What is HVO and why is it interesting?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HVO stands for \u201cHydrotreated Vegetable Oil\u201d, a synthetic, renewable diesel produced from vegetable oils and residual fats. Unlike traditional fossil diesel, HVO contains almost no sulphur or aromatics, resulting in cleaner combustion. That makes it an attractive fuel for applications where reliability and sustainability must go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

Even more important: over its entire life cycle, HVO emits up to 90% less CO2 than regular diesel. A significant difference, especially for systems with a lifespan of over 25 years.<\/p>\n

HVO offers clear advantages even when compared to conventional biodiesel. Whereas biodiesel is usually used in blends and may require modifications or additional maintenance to engines at higher concentrations, HVO is a drop-in fuel that can be used in existing diesel engines without any technical modifications. HVO also scores higher in terms of environmental impact: CO\u2082 reduction can be as high as 90% and emissions of particulate matter and NOx are generally lower than with biodiesel.<\/p>\n

Environmentally conscious power protection: mobile and fixed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made our large 1600kVA mobile UPS systems compatible with HVO. This allows us to ensure continuous power quality with a lower environmental impact, even during major maintenance or temporary critical projects.<\/p>\n

Our new fixed dynamic UPS installations of the PowerPRO type from Hitec Power Protection can also now be delivered with HVO-certified engines.<\/p>\n

Even existing installations can, in most cases, be converted after a short study and validation to confirm the system can run safely and effectively on HVO. Usually, the switch requires no major technical changes, and stable, safe operation is guaranteed. Which is ideal for companies wanting to green their installations without sacrificing reliability or performance.<\/p>\n

Why switch to HVO for your critical power supply?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With HVO, you choose a much more sustainable fuel that emits up to 90% less CO\u2082 compared to standard diesel.<\/p>\n

Moreover, HVO is a smart future-proof choice. It not only helps reduce your ecological footprint, but also prepares you for stricter future regulations and increasing expectations from customers and partners.<\/p>\n

Ready to make your critical power greener?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Want to find out whether your current DRUPS installation is compatible with HVO? Or are you looking for a new setup that\u2019s future-ready? Don\u2019t hesitate to contact our team.<\/p>\n\n
