Capstone Green Energy obtained an order for two Capstone C800 Signature Series microturbines for a premier golf and hospitality resort in Utah—the system is expected to be commissioned in May 2026. The overall project will operate with pipeline-fed natural gas and feature microturbines integrated into a waste heat recovery system to deliver high-grade hot water throughout the facility. This design enables an efficient combined heat-and-power solution that generates reliable on-site electricity while recycling thermal energy to support the resort’s significant heating demands, including its large wave pool and additional hot-water amenities.
Baker Hughes announced the sale of its Waygate Technologies non-destructive testing business to Hexagon AB for approximately $1.45 billion in cash, a divestiture that, taken alongside the company's $13.6 billion pending acquisition of Chart Industries, marks another move in a deliberate portfolio transformation that further confirms that the company is getting out of industrial inspection and going all-in on turbomachinery, LNG, and energy technology.
Turboden and Gruppo AB entered a strategic commercial partnership to develop and promote energy efficiency solutions in the Italian market, including the supply of AB cogeneration plants with Turboden’s mechanical vapor recompression systems to new customers. The solution further validates the heat generated by cogeneration engines, both in the form of exhaust gases and cooling water, by converting it into steam suitable for industrial processes. Integrating the MVR system allows steam production to exceed 5 tons per hour within a single cogeneration unit, depending on plant configuration.
In our newest episode of the TurboTime Podcast, the Myth Busters Klaus Brun and Rainer Kurz address a topic vital to the power generation industry, especially as data centers and power infrastructure consume most turbomachinery demand: gas turbine degradation. According to Kurz, wear-and-tear typically occurs as a result of ingesting particles through combustion air or fuel, with degradation either classified as recoverable or non-recoverable. The duo identify these degradation modes and much more. Listen to the latest episode to learn more!
Frank Ma, President of JFMA Consulting, provides an assessment of the rotating equipment and flow control markets as hyperscalers, colocation providers, and utilities invest in new power generation infrastructure. This equipment is essential across the entire ecosystem, from gas turbines that generate the electricity powering data centers, to compressors that transport the natural gas fueling those turbines, and to pumps, valves, and actuators that circulate and regulate cooling water and other fluids to maintain reliable and efficient data center operations.
