Biogas cogeneration plant
43 - 81 kVA CAPSTONE TURBINE

This continuous-rated 30-kW grid parallel model can be fueled with digester or landfill gas with methane content as low as 35%. They are commonly arrayed with Cain or other heat exchangers to serve both renewable power and thermal loads.

Hundreds operate worldwide, including 12 that provide LFG-fueled power and heat to a school near Chicago, a site named "Project of the Year" by the landfill methane division of the US EPA.

Without any exhaust treatment, C30 emissions are much lower than flaring. ISO 9001:2000 certified Capstone Turbine is the world's leading microturbine manufacturer, with more than 3,000 units worldwide. The installed fleet has amassed more than 8 million hours of documented operation.

Capstone invented microturbines and is the world’s only USA incorporated, USA owned and operated manufacturer.

These inverter-based systems have just one moving part: a turbine shaft supported by patented air bearings. The system has no pumps and needs no radiator, gearbox or other mechanical subsystems. Needs no lubricants, coolants or other hazardous fluids. UL1741, CA Rule 21 and NY PSC interconnect precertified, UL2200, etc.

Scalable from kilowatts to >1 MW without any paralleling switchgear or other external hardware (built-in arraying via computer cables).
