Features & Benefits

Peak Electrical Efficiency

  • Up to 44.2 percent (50 Hz) and 43.5 percent (60 Hz), meeting ISO standards*
  • Operates on a wider range of pipeline natural gas down to 70MN without impacting power output
  • Automatic engine adjustments account for fuel quality changes and quick load-step performance - all without the need to calibrate or switch off the engine
  • More stability, greater uptime and lower fuel costs lead to lower total cost of ownership

Game-Changing Fuel Flexibility

  • High power density down to 40MN fuels
  • Powered by a wide range of low-cost and free fuel sources that would otherwise be considered waste products
  • New models manage low-BTU fuels more efficiently, delivering robust power with aggressive fuels down to very aggressive contaminant levels with less derating
  • No space required for gas-cleaning systems
  • Lower capital and operating expenses

Extreme Dependability

Full power capability up to 40oC (104F) with standard turbo offering and up to blistering 55oC (131F) with high ambient turbo offering accommodates the site’s environment, including its temperature, atmospheric and ground conditions

Market-Leading Combined Heat & Power Functions

Market-leading thermal efficiency at 47.1% and 2110 kW of thermal output for heating, cooling and steam generation provides significant environmental benefits by recovering CO2 and takes up less space, offering greater design flexibility

Industry Leading Service Cycles

  • Industry’s longest major overhaul service cycle of 80,000 hours means high return on investment, keeping the operations and maintenance costs low
  • Sophisticated predictive diagnostics available driven by innovative tools such as onboard spark plug sensors, NOx sensors, and real-time trend data collection provide minimum downtime and optimized standard maintenance costs

Global Compliance

  • As low as 250 mg/Nm3 (0.5g/hp-hr) NOx without aftertreatment
  • 30% load step at G1 with four steps to load providing superior load pickup and load rejection transient capabilities
