Microturbine company Capstone Turbine’s (earlier post) sales to the oil and gas industry worldwide are at a record pace, according to Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Over the last few weeks the company has announced deals from new and existing customers that will use the microturbines in the Marcellus and Eagle Ford Shale plays in the US, and for use in Russia.
Capstone makes various sizes of microturbines: 30kW, 65kW, and 200kW. Products based on the 200kW turbine are also available in 600kW, 800kW, and 1MW configurations. The turbines can operate on a variety of fuels: low- or high-pressure natural gas; biogas (landfill, wastewater treatment centers, anaerobic); flare gas; diesel; propane; and kerosene.
The company recently received orders totaling 4.2 MW from multiple oil & gas producers operating in the Marcellus play, including a follow-on order from a large independent producer already operating a fleet of more than 50 Capstone microturbines.
The microturbines will be installed in early 2012 and used in prime power and combined heat and power (CHP) applications. In the CHP applications, the microturbines’ exhaust heat will be used for building and onsite fuel-gas heating.
Capstone Mid-Atlantic distributor E-Finity secured the orders from new and existing customers that will use the microturbines at remote locations throughout the Marcellus Shale. E-Finity has secured orders for more than 35 microturbines within the last six months in the Marcellus Shale alone.
