Frequently asked questions _ MT 250

What is the MT250?
Gas turbine-powered generators represent the cleanest combustion technology available today. And the FlexEnergy Inc MT250 Turbine™ leads the way with its on-site, clean, low emissions technology… the very best way to consume less and generate more. At the heart of this extraordinary equipment is a simple, powerful single-shaft design adapted and refined over years of use from the legendary Dresser-Rand KG2 two-megawatt gas turbine that has proven to be one of the most reliable in its class. FlexEnergy Inc has added to this time-tested design a series of features that further enhance efficiency, performance and service life, while reducing the need for maintenance. And, with typical FlexEnergy Inc ruggedness and reliability, the 250 kW turbine has a product design life of 80,000 hours.

What types of methane gas can the MT250 run on?
The FlexEnergy Inc 250 kW Turbine™ can use pipeline natural gas and renewable “waste” fuels with a wide range of energy content, including landfill gases, digester gases and even gases that include significant hydrogen content.

Where can the MT250 be used?
The MT250 can be deployed at facilities such as Landfills, Wastewater treatment plants, Food processing facilities, Breweries, Agricultural waste handling facilities, and Biomass energy plants.

How much power can a MT250 generate?
The MT250 generates 250 kW per system.

What types of electrical generation can the MT250 provide?
Grid parallel, dual-mode, or grid-isolated

Is the MT250 scale-able?
Definitely.  The MT250’s modular design enables easy scaling based on the specific requirements of the site. 

How much NOx (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions does the MT250 generate?
Less than 5 parts per million (ppm) @ 15% O2 at 100%* load (*natural pipeline gas only)

How much CO (Carbon Monoxide) emissions does the MT250 generate?
Less than 5 parts per million (ppm) @ 15% O2 at 100%* load (*natural pipeline gas only)

Where can the MT250 be used?
The MT250 can be utilized in Landfills (open and closed), Coal Mines, Digesters, Oil & Gas Operations, Waste Water Treatment Plants, Industrial Processing Plants, and Waste Fuel Sites (military bases/ships, etc.), to name a few.

Does the MT250 feature integrated heat recovery?
Yes, the MT250 offers built-in heat recovery integration with controllable output levels, the ability to reduce overall footprint, no need for ducting, and is suitable for potable applications.

Is the MT250 recuperator unique?
Yes, the MT250 has a patented recuperator that is critical to high efficiency and is considered the best in the industry.

Is the MT250 combustor unique?
Yes, the MT250 has a patented combustor that generates dry low NOx and easily meets stringent environmental regulations.
