Description

The Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) biomass plant, Deerhaven Renewables, plans to replace an end-of-life air compressor with a new machine sized based on a 2-week air audit study. The compressor will be located outdoors under a roof rated to withstand 110 mph winds and must comply with NERC cybersecurity guidelines, meaning the controller cannot be remotely programmable. The machine operates between 4,000 - 5,000 hours annually, with a second machine rotated weekly. GRU requires quarterly servicing and delivery before June 2026, including a five-year warranty covering parts and labor.
