Capstone Turbine Corporation, the clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, announced that it has secured additional orders for multiple C65s that will be used on numerous offshore platforms located off the coast of Malaysia and Brunei. These new orders mark the second significant order in October for one of the world’s largest oil and gas producers.
The multiple orders for a total of six C65 high humidity offshore units were secured by Serba Dinamik, Capstone’s distributor in the Asia Pacific region. The units will be packaged into ATEX-certified packages by Serba Dinamik, with support from Capstone and utilized in a stand-alone primary power application. The platforms are unmanned wellhead gas platforms off the coast of Malaysia and Brunei. The large oil and gas producer was looking to replace and upgrade existing obsolete traditional power generation equipment, and the oil producer turned to Capstone microturbines for their reliability and maintainability.
Often used for oil and gas exploration, Capstone’s ATEX-certified C65s are designed to meet the special requirements for offshore applications, which include special corrosion protection and optional features. Capstone microturbines are ideal for offshore platforms due to their small modular design, less sensitivity to gas quality, and reliability in harsh environments. Capstone microturbines feature a patented air bearing technology with only one moving part, making them rugged, reliable, and a perfect solution for the oil and gas industry.
