Why would I use a microturbine?

Do you purchase significant amounts of energy for your facility?  A microturbine can help you save energy costs by providing both heat and power from the input fuel.  If you have access to renewable fuels or "waste" gases, a microturbine can turn those gases into valuable electricity and useful heat.  If your facility has no access to utility grid power, microturbines can independently provide your facility electricity and thermal needs.

What fuels can a microturbine use?

If you operate an industrial, commercial, or residential facility, Ingersoll Rand microturbines can use the same pipeline quality natural gas as your other heating/cooling equipment.  If your facility has other kinds of gaseous fuels such as biogas, produced gases, gases associated with oil/gas recovery, other hydrocarbon gases, or synthetic gases, Ingersoll Rand microturbines can also potentially accept them to produce valuable electricity and useful heat.

How clean is a microturbine?

The Ingersoll Rand microturbine meets all world-wide emissions standards, including California's most stringent standards for power generating equipment.  It is an extremely clean technology that an help a facility meet its environmental requirements.

250 kW Microturbines and Microturbine Systems

The Ingersoll Rand MT250 microturbine is rated at ISO conditions to generate 250kW of high quality, reliable, and clean on site electricity, with or without the grid.  They also produce clean, useful exhaust heat with extremely low emissions without post-combustion clean-up.  When integrated with the internal cogeneration option, the exhaust heat can be captured into water for a wide variety of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) applications.


Our microturbines can be configured to accept a broad spectrum of gaseous fuels ranging from low methane content landfill gas up to propane mixtures.  An internal fuel gas booster option is available to allow the microturbine to accept low pressure natural gas supplies at typical street delivery pressures.
