Key Features
Four‑unit parallel configuration (each unit ~250 kW): Delivers ~1,000 kW combined output while enabling flexibility in load sharing, redundancy (one or more units can drop out without system failure), and phased commissioning.
Steyr T12 engine platform: Built for natural‑gas or associated gas operation with features such as lean‑burn combustion, turbocharging and intercooling, high durability in demanding environments.
Containerised 40‑foot module(s): For quick on‑site installation, reduced build‑time, transport ease and streamlined enclosure logistics—especially useful when multiple units need parallel synchronisation in a compact footprint.
Natural gas fuel technology: Clean‑fuel operation means lower emissions (NOₓ, CO, particulates) compared to diesel, improved fuel economy and suitability for regulated or remote sites.
Parallel synchronisation & advanced control system: Ensures seamless automatic load sharing, master/slave coordination, automatic hot‑standby switching and protection functions (overspeed, high water temp, low oil pressure).
Scalable & modular future‑proof: The parallel architecture allows for future expansion (add more modules), or degradation‑handling (run fewer units under lighter loads) while maintaining reliability and performance.
Industrial‑grade alternators, skid‑mounted units: Built for heavy‑duty commercial / industrial use with attention to vibration isolation, thermal cooling, service accessibility and remote monitoring readiness.
Applications
Oil & gas field power supply: For drilling rigs, well‑sites, processing plants where natural gas is onsite or available and high uptime is critical.
Mining & large industrial sites: Sites requiring >1 MW power, modular design, and ability to service or maintain individual units while keeping the system running.
Data centres or large commercial facilities: Where redundancy, clean fuel, containerised footprint and modularity are key.
Distributed generation / micro‑grid / cogeneration: Natural‑gas powered sets like this parallel solution suit hybrid energy systems, CHP (combined heat & power) or as bridging technologies for renewables.
Remote / offshore / infrastructure deployments: Containerisation enables transport via road, sea or rail; suitable for remote sites with limited foundations or where site build‑time must be minimised.

Why Choose This Solution？
High availability through redundancy & modularity: With four modules, the system can tolerate individual unit maintenance without total shutdown.
Compact container‑based design: Simplifies logistics and site preparation; ideal for tight schedules or remote locations.
Advanced Steyr T12 gas engine technology: Built for fuel flexibility, reliability, and demanding applications.
Future‑ready design: Easy to expand, integrate into micro‑grid, cogeneration or hybrid systems.
Cleaner, cost‑effective operation: Natural gas fuel and modern gas engine design reduce fuel cost per kW‑h and emissions burden.
Installation, Operation & Maintenance
Site preparation: Ensure flat, stable base or foundation; sufficient clearance for ventilation and exhaust; gas supply line must meet pressure, flow and gas‑quality specs.
Parallel commissioning: Verify synchronisation controls, load‑sharing logic, protection interlocks, auto start/stop sequences; check each module individually and in full‑system parallel.
Maintenance best practice: Regular inspections of gas supply train, filters, lubrication oil, coolant system, alternator bearings, control system, vibration levels and container housing condition.
Service & spares: Stock critical spare parts (fuel valves, ignition modules, sensors), subscription to preventive maintenance program reduces downtime risk and protects ROI.
Safety & compliance: Gas supply must comply with local regulations (e.g., gas purity, pressure limits), container fire/safety features must be in place, noise and emissions must meet site or local standards.
