American Power Group provides update on diesel engine fuel conversion

American Power Group (APGI) provides an update on a multi-unit diesel engine conversion performed in 2010 for Penn South, officially known as Mutual Redevelopment Houses, Inc., an affordable cooperative housing community located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. The complex encompasses 2,820 units housing 5,000+ tenants in 15 buildings located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Penn South operates a co-generation power plant that provides electricity, heat from October through May, and air-cooling during the summer months. In 2010, APG converted several 1.2MW CAT diesel engines to run on our dual fuel solution, providing not only meaningful cost savings but significant well documented emission reduction benefits associated with running cleaner burning natural gas which are very important, especially in urban locations like lower Manhattan.
