GUASCOR SFGLD 480
TECHNICAL (for natural gas with min MN=75)
Dresser-Rand supplies custom-engineered rotating equipment solutions for the worldwide energy infrastructure,
including oil, gas, petrochemical, power generation, and process industries. Our high-speed rotating equipment is also
supplied to environmental markets within the energy infrastructure. Backed by more than 45 years of experience, our
Guascor gas engines provide energy solutions from a bare engine to a complete generation plant. Guascor gas engines
can use natural gases and a variety of biogases such as syngas, mine gas, sewage gas, and others, providing bioenergy
solutions for wastewater treatment plants, landfills and digestion plants. These gas engines cover a power range from
242 to 1,308 kWe and provide excellent installation solutions for co- and tri-generation configurations. These configurations represent one of the best ways to reduce your energy costs and your carbon footprint.
