The Benefits of a Used Gas Turbine Generator
A new or used gas turbine generator, sometimes called a combustion turbine, is a turbine that is constructed with a generator attached via a common shaft. Used mostly for generating electricity for power plants, these generators use rotary blades to convert kinetic energy and heat energy of high pressure jet gas, into mechanical energy. They work similar to windmill blades to turn the turbine's machinery.
Companies that have installed a new or used gas turbine generator have discovered that they are a powerful and reliable source of energy. Used gas turbine generators cost much less than new ones, even though they run at about 60 percent efficiency, which is as efficient as any new power plant. That alone lowers the daily operating cost of supplying power.
The installation of a used gas turbine generator is inexpensive as well. Powering a used gas turbine generator is about one-half the cost of running a coal plant that is equivalent in size. Another benefit is that they have shorter lead time than fossil fired steam plants.
Industrial gas turbine generators are usually incorporated into a power plant's design to generate power as a primary or secondary unit.

The Value Of A Used Gas Turbine Generator Installed By BTU Solutions Shouldn’t Be Overlooked
[Posted on Aug 29]
The installation of a used gas turbine generator is an option that too few consider when they need to generate electricity for a power plant. It’s common to underestimate just how much value can be gained with a used gas turbine generator as opposed to a brand new one. But BTU Solutions has illustrated that both the initial savings and long term production of previously used equipment of this type is something that should definitely be looked into for operations that are looking to cut costs or simply stay within a tight budget.
BTU Solutions not only provides services that are much lower priced compared to similar companies in this industry, but will ensure that any used gas turbine generator that is installed operates at the highest possible level. The equipment will be tested for quality and any repairs or refurbishments that are needed will be performed by a team of experienced technicians. By doing so, an operation will have a used gas turbine generator that delivers a high power-to-weight ratio and will be reliable for several years. This leads to not just great performance but also a higher level of safety because they will vibrate less.
You’ll find the top brands of industrial gas turbine generators, both new and used at BTU Solutions. Among these trusted brands are turbines from Rolls-Royce and GE, manufacturers that have literally billions of operating hours to illustrate their productivity. Rolls-Royce and GE turbines are currently being used in power plants and energy facilities all over the world -in some of the the most difficult regions such as offshore and arctic drilling operations. Anyone familiar with the power generation industry knows these are names that can be trusted because their reputations were cemented years, even decades, ago.
By providing consistently high quality services related to these respected manufacturers, BTU Solutions continues to build on an already strong reputation of their own. Since 2004, BTU Solutions has assisted clients in many different aspects of their operations, whether that’s the installation of a used gas turbine generator or with efficient asbestos removal as a part of a power plant demolition project. BTU Solutions is committed to making sure any interruption of a client’s operation is minimal, regardless of the services that are being performed. The BTU Solutions team has the experience to be efficient without sacrificing the overall quality and assurance of the services they deliver.
