About the KG2-3G/GO

The Ener-Core Powerstation KG2-3G/GO (“KG2-3G/GO”) is a unique system which integrates Ener-Core’s proprietary Gradual Oxidation technology with a highly efficient 2MW gas turbine.  Like the Ener-Core Powerstation FP250, it is engineered to meet demanding emissions regulations and to provide continuous power generation on a wide range of fuel qualities.  In addition, this 2MW system is designed to meet larger power generation needs. Because of its simple, low-maintenance design, high reliability and operational experience, the Ener-Core Powerstation KG2-3G/GO turbine generator package is the preferred solution for power requirements from 1 to 12 MW.

The KG2-3G/GO’s wide fuel range is intended to operate on extremely low heating value fuels, landfill gas, biogas and associated gas from crude oil production. The system can also be recuperated or non-recuperated to meet customer needs, providing either higher electrical efficiencies or higher waste heat temperatures for steam generation.

The core of the Ener-Core Powerstation KG2-3G/GO is our patented Gradual Oxidizer, which is designed to oxidize methane from the widest range of gases to release energy, while providing extremely low emissions.  Energy from the chemical reaction is released at a pressure and temperature high enough to efficiently power a gas turbine generator, but temperature and reaction time conditions are designed low enough to avoid NOx (oxides of nitrogen) formation. The base turbine of the KG2-3G/GO has evolved from successful Dresser Rand KG2-3 C, E, and G gas turbine products, which comprise nearly 1,000 units produced and installed in the filed with over 25 million operating hours.

We anticipate commissioning of KG2-3G/GO development and field test units in 2014-2015, with initial commercial shipments shortly thereafter.

The Ener-Core Powerstation KG2-3G/GO Has Been Designed to Provide the Following Features and Benefits:

  • Class-leading Fuel Efficiency
  • High Effectiveness Recuperator
  • Wide Fuel Spec Tolerance
  • Ultra-low NOx Emissions, < 1 ppmv
  • No Catalyst or Chemicals Used
  • H2S Acceptance
  • Siloxane Tolerant
