Oil-powered generators

['Oil Spill Prevention']
Oil-powered generators
  • Oil-powered generators, or gen-sets, are a combination of oil-filled operational equipment and a bulk oil storage container.

Oil-powered generators are commonly referred to as “gen-sets.” Gen-sets are a combination of oil-filled operational equipment and a bulk oil storage container. The oil that is consumed to generate electricity is not inherent to the device and is stored in a bulk storage container, which requires transfers of oil because oil is consumed in order to generate electricity. Therefore, although gen-sets include oil-filled operational equipment, such as the lubrication oil reservoir, gen-sets, as a whole unit, do not meet the definition of oil-filled operational equipment.

Newer designs of gen-sets provide for a double-walled tank for the bulk oil storage container.
