Combined Heat and Power Plants
The Combustion Group holds the local agency for Caterpillar’s Turbomach/Solar Turbines gas turbine business in South Africa. Solar offers factory packaged gas turbine driven generator sets from 1 -22 MW. The sets have three-phase generators, which meet or exceed numerous European and North American standards and can be equipped to operate in harsh environments. Solar turbine generator sets can be applied in combined-cycle systems or the turbine exhaust heat can be recovered for processes requiring thermal energy.
Not only are Solar Turbines able to operate on gasses such as Coke Oven Gas, Natural Gas, Refinery Gas, Landfill and Digester Gases, but can also operate on liquid fuels such as Kerosene, Gasoline, Naphtas, Biodiesel, Jet A and Diesels.
