Capstone Receives $2.4M Order

Capstone Turbine Corporation has received an order for $2.4 million from a global oil and gas company.

“We are delighted to receive this significant order from an integrated company involved in exploration and production, refining, and distribution including natural gas and energy,” said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President of Sales. “In addition to providing high quality products and services, the company is deeply concerned about their social responsibilities and takes environmental preservation seriously,” added Crouse.

The company has numerous production platforms and refineries and thousands of miles of ducts and gas stations. The Capstone microturbines supplied to this customer will be specifically designed to survive in high humidity climates.

“We have been working hard to increase our market presence in the oil and gas sector. We know that our product is a great fit in this market, and are very pleased to have received this large and significant order,” said Darren Jamison, President and CEO of Capstone Turbine Corporation. “As we have previously stated, Capstone microturbines are a perfect solution to reliably power oil and gas producing operations using natural gas or unprocessed wellhead gas to generate continuous power. Capstone solutions require little maintenance and avoid fuel transport and disposal of hazardous lubricants,” added Jamison.

Capstone also offers an integrated microturbine package to meet the special requirements of offshore applications. This includes corrosion protection with a 316 stainless steel enclosure, optional Class I Division 2/NFPA 496 certification for use in hazardous areas, and UL listing. The Capstone offshore package includes an energy storage system to start the microturbine and provide momentary power during abrupt load changes. The result is highly regulated voltage and frequency regardless of load changes. These compact, self-sufficient systems are perfect for unmanned platforms and have onshore dispatch, monitoring and diagnostics capability.

“Capstone has extensive operating experience in the Gulf of Mexico, Alaska, Mediterranean, Adriatic, North Sea, Southeast Asia, and the South Atlantic,” Jamison said.
