Today, Capstone microturbines generate nearly 50 megawatts of clean-and-green, reliable power at prominent oil and gas plays. Ensuring round-the-clock operation with uninterrupted power, Capstone microturbines produce prime power and facility power for oil and gas applications, including central gathering, LACT units, oil stabilization units, artificial lift, pumping skids and salt water disposal units.
Oilfield Sour Flare Gas
One of Capstone's longest running microturbines -- more than 75,000 hours -- has been operating virtually continuously for a decade in an oil field in Alberta. Running on 2.5 - 3% sour gas, the only downtime has been for air filter cleanings/replacements and minor fuel injector cleanings.
