Project in Scotland - Live Stock Farm - 275 kVA With Extended Fuel Tank
Powering Performance: Blackwell Generators Delivers 275 kVA Baudouin-Powered Silent Generator with Extended Fuel Tank
At Blackwell Generators, we take pride in supplying power solutions that are not only built to last, but also engineered to meet the unique demands of each project. Recently, we delivered a 275 kVA Baudouin-powered silent diesel generator to a Pig farm in Scotland, complete with an extended fuel tank for long-running autonomy, to a commercial client requiring dependable, on-site backup power.
This delivery is another demonstration of our commitment to combining performance, reliability, and customer-focused engineering—backed by UK expertise and support.
Why 275 kVA?
When selecting a generator for critical applications, power sizing is key. A Baudouin EcoMax 275 kVA generator strikes an ideal balance between substantial output and fuel efficiency. It’s a popular choice for:
Large commercial buildings
Industrial workshops and plants
Data centres
Agricultural operations
Backup power for utilities or healthcare facilities
Our client required a reliable source of standby power capable of supporting essential equipment during mains failure. The 275 kVA set, powered by Baudouin's proven 6M16 engine, provided the exact combination of power, endurance, and economy needed.
The Engine: Baudouin EcoMax – Proven Reliability
Baudouin engines are trusted worldwide for their robust construction, stable performance, and exceptional fuel economy. The 6M16 series used in our 275 kVA set is designed specifically for generator applications. It features:
Turbocharged and intercooled diesel technology
Optimised combustion for low fuel consumption
Long service intervals and ease of maintenance
Compliance with global emissions and quality standards
Baudouin’s heritage in marine and industrial engine manufacturing—backed by over 100 years of experience—makes it a dependable choice for both standby and prime power applications.
The Alternator: Premium Performance from Leroy-Somer or Stamford AVK
Each generator we supply is paired with a high-efficiency alternator. In this case, we offered either a Stamford AVKor Leroy-Somer brushless alternator—both globally recognised brands.
These alternators are known for:
High electrical efficiency
Excellent voltage regulation
Rugged insulation for long-life performance
Reliability under continuous or cyclic loading
Combined with the Baudouin engine, this setup guarantees uninterrupted performance when it matters most.
Silent Enclosure – Built for Noise-Sensitive Environments
This 275 kVA generator is housed in a sound-attenuated canopy, designed and fabricated in the UK. With advanced acoustic insulation and a residential-grade muffler, the unit maintains noise levels of approximately 70 dB(A) at 7 metres, making it suitable for installations in:
Urban environments
Hotels and resorts
Office parks
Public or community facilities
The enclosure is also weatherproof, built from galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion and the harshest environmental conditions.
Extended Fuel Tank – Long Running Autonomy
One of the standout features of this unit is the extended base fuel tank, designed for long-duration runtime without the need for frequent refuelling. This is essential for remote installations or mission-critical applications where fuel access is limited.
Our standard design delivers:
Extended autonomy of up to 30+ hours at 75% load
Fully bunded (double-skinned) construction to prevent environmental spills
Integrated fuel level sensor for accurate monitoring
Easy access points for top-up or automated fuel supply integration
This makes the generator ideal for off-grid sites, remote infrastructure, or emergency power scenarios requiring extended operation.
Smart Control with Deep Sea Electronics
The generator is equipped with a Deep Sea Electronics DSE7320 MKII controller, offering automatic mains failure (AMF) functionality and a user-friendly interface.
Features include:
Full engine monitoring and protection
Automatic startup and shutdown in response to power failure
Remote monitoring and control capability
Custom alarm and safety programming
Intuitive LCD display with real-time data logging
This allows seamless integration into any power management system and ensures the generator operates efficiently and safely, even in unmanned locations.
Designed & Supported in the UK
While the core engine and alternator are internationally recognised, the design, assembly, canopy, and testing are completed here in the UK. At Blackwell Generators, we believe in supporting British manufacturing and engineering.
Every set goes through:
Factory load testing to full capacity
Quality inspection and compliance checks
Customisation options to suit installation, voltage, or control requirements
We also support our customers post-sale with a nationwide network of service partners and a comprehensive parts inventory.
Applications in Focus
This 275 kVA silent generator was delivered to a large-scale industrial facility where long-running reliability is paramount. With a volatile grid and critical on-site machinery, the client required:
A high-output, dependable standby generator
Quiet operation due to nearby residential zones
Long runtime to bridge extended outages or fuel delivery delays
We tailored the unit with a larger fuel tank, upgraded control features, and provided full documentation for seamless integration.
