New Engine Technology Burns Flare Gas To Reduce OpEx For O&G Producers

    SOMERVILLE, MA, October 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dynamo Micropower Receives Large Follow-on Order of TurboCore Engines after Successful Field Trials Proving Operation on Bakken Wellhead Gas

Multitek North America placed an order for 25 TurboCore TC700H engines following successful deployment of four pre-production engines into the extreme environmental conditions of the Bakken region in North Dakota during the 2014/2015 winter.

Somerville MA, October 7, 2015 - Dynamo Micropower today announced receipt of an order for 25 TurboCore TC700H engines from Multitek North America, for use in the oil & gas and construction industries. Multitek is a leading manufacturer of heavy industrial products including flameless heaters and forestry equipment. These game changing engines deliver the promise of small turbine technology: fuel flexibility, reliability, and easy maintenance.

Dynamo Micropower worked with Multitek to co-develop a unique industrial heater during the second half of 2014 built around the fuel-flexible TurboCore engine. The TurboCore engine has an advanced fully automated control system and fuel-flexible combustion technology which allows for plug and play operation on any gaseous fuel. This allows the TurboCore to auto-configure for unprocessed, unfiltered natural gas as well as propane and CNG. The controls system even dynamically adjusts for changing composition and energy content of wellhead fuels. The new heater reduces operating costs by more than 40% compared with its diesel competition, at approximately ½ the weight and size.

The TurboCore platform offers reliability, fuel flexibility, and simple integration. The system has only two moving parts and a passive lubrication system which translates to higher uptime and minimal maintenance requirements.

"Instead of wasting flare gas, our customers can rely on TurboCore engines to transform it into useful heat and save them money" - Doug Kamps, President, Multitek North America.

Dynamo Micropower is currently developing a 1.5 million BTU/hour heat output TurboCore engine and anticipates releasing the new product in 2016.

Dynamo was founded by two entrepreneurs in 2011 with a passion for developing high performance solutions and, of course, turbomachinery. We wanted to tackle the big challenge of building a versatile turbine platform that leveraged the strengths of turbines: fuel flexibility, reliability, and power density. We set up shop at Greentown Labs, where we still reside, and we built up a team of experienced turbine experts and accomplished oilmen to help us build world class solutions. To fund our work, the NSF & DOE helped to kick off our development, and the rest is history.
