  4. Generator Specifications
    1. Each Baylor AC generator is rated: 3 phase, 4160 volts, 60 Hz, 900 rpm, 2500 kW, 3125 kVA, 0.8 pf, 434 amps
  5. Engine Modifications
    1. Each Ruston V16 engine has been modified to operate on tail gas, a low calorific value waste gas
    2. Conversion to operate on natural gas can be readily achieved
    3. Operating on other fuels such as propane, methane, or other waste gases is also possible
    4. Modifications include reducing the compression ratio from 11.7:1 to 8.8:1 by installing new pistons and changing the valves and seats and installing turbochargers
    5. Each engine is an air start requiring 375 psig air and a high cetane starter fuel which was switched to standard diesel once the engine was hot
