With 99.3 percent start reliability*, full-load throw-on capacity, and minimal maintenance requirements, the Dresser-Rand KG2-3E gas turbine is ideal for stand-by and continuous power supply – onshore and offshore. The KG2 generator set has been specifically designed to meet requirements for power from 1 MW to 10 MW (single and multiple units). More than 900 units have been delivered for standby, industrial, and oil and gas applications worldwide.
*Based on D-R’s field data across the entire installed fleet from our first installation in 1968 to date.
