The gas turbines clean, dry, oxygen-rich exhaust stream can be: used as a hot-air source for many drying applications ducted to an unfired heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) used as preheated combustion air for supplementary-fired HRSGs to produce high volumes of process steam used for direct heating in absorption chillers that provide chilled water

Multi-Fuel Capability
Solar gas turbines operate on a wide variety of fuels: natural gas distillates natural gas liquids (NGLs) liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) hydrogen medium-Btu gas (coal-bed methane, landfill gas) Dual and tri-fuel systems can be configured for use with many models of Solar gas turbines.

Outstanding Efficiency
Solar turbine generator sets are highly efficient simple-cycle units. When installed in combined cycle and combined heat and power applications, the efficiency is further enhanced. For example, in energy-saving cogeneration applications, overall system thermal efficiencies of 70-80% are common.

Fast Delivery
Modern, efficient manufacturing facilities and processes and skilled personnel enable Solar to quickly provided generator sets engineered and tested to fulfill specific customer requirements.
