Backup Power:

The power to withstand the next disaster

Hurricanes. Tornados. Earthquakes. Electrical outages. During any kind of natural or man-made disaster, you can't afford to be without the power to keep your organization operating. And if you are a hospital, security force, police department, fire department or other critical community service, your ability to provide uninterrupted services is even more essential during a disaster. At American Power Group, we offer a proven dual fuel system that more than doubles the run time of backup generators. The dual fuel technology blends natural gas, generally accessible from local pipelines, with diesel to power gensets. This is especially important should diesel fuel supplies become scarce or unavailable.

The dual fuel solution is a retrofit system that works with your existing diesel generator. Installation is done right in the field, with minimal interruption to service. Because natural gas costs less than diesel, the APG system can reduce your operating cost by as much as 40% - savings that can really add up during an extended electrical outage. The APG dual fuel system offers clear advantages for critical services requiring backup power.

Among them are:

  • Extended run times up to 200% longer than diesel only solutions
  • Reduced fuel expense for lower cost of operation
  • Lower emission levels for cleaner air and less smog
  • Runs clean for less maintenance and fewer service calls
  • Allows for use of green, renewable fuel sources such as bio-diesel, gas from methane ingestors or landfill gas

Enduring power

The dual fuel system is ideal for primary or backup power for 24x7 critical services:

  • First Responders Such As Police & Fire
  • Municipal or Emergency Vehicles
  • Earth Moving Equipment
  • Safety & Security Organizations
  • Critical Data Centers
  • Groceries or Pharmacies
  • Municipal Buildings
