Gas Turbines Are Typically 85% to 90% Efficient; Grid Electric is About 30% - Still Need More Convincing? Ask The Energy ExpertsThe American Council For An Energy Efficient Economy has come out and said it: CHP or Combined Heat And Energy is the most efficient form of electric power generation. Effectively, it is capturing the clean, particulate-free 'waste' heat, and using it to heat areas, including water boilers. The EPA advises it. The US Department of Energy advises it. And various regional economic councils also advise it.

Become Power Independent And Cut Energy Costs 20-70%!
You have high power demands, MBS and Flex Energy can help. We can deliver on-site, gas-turbine powered, grid-isolated, grid parallel, or dual-mode power solutions of between 300 kW and 1,300 kW, or 1.3 megawatts, in a matter of months, for a cost that averages about half of what the electric utility charges, with finance charges included.
Apart from a turbine-powered generator, heat can be used directly, or a pre-chilling apparatus can convert thermal energy to cooling units. MBS Engineering has designed and installed a number of natural gas Turbine Cogeneration Systems, helping commercial clients save money on energy, as costs for electricity from the power grid continue to rise.
Gas turbines (or microturbines) are the most powerful form of clean energy available today. Efficiencies of about 85% are achievable because of the waste heat recovery component of the systems, called cogeneration. These systems cut energy bills, generate reliable power and give the quickest return on investment of any energy system on the market – by far.

A Partnership Of Engineering Titans: Flex Energy And MBS
Flex Energy made a thing of beauty. Between 250 kW and 1.3 mW. One moving part. 8 hours of maintenance a year. More robust power, and not at the behest and exorbitant pricing of the electric utility. They picked MBS to deliver their engineering marvel. Read about our partnership.

Gas Turbines Are A Quantum Leap In Energy Technology
Cost
- Cheaper Than Electric Utility, Even With Finance Charges
Typically about half of the $0.15 to $.30 per kWh - financing and gas cost included - You Own The Microturbine After Financing, And It Can Be Redeployed
Take power generation control back from the utility company
Environment
- Advanced Combustion Controls And Lowest Emissions In Its Class
Power like this simply can't go cleaner than natural gas and Flex Energy/MBS - Utility Electric Is Only 30% Efficient
Microturbines push 85% (with cogeneration) - Clean Waste Heat
Uncontaminated exhaust heat
Reliability
- Power When You Can't Afford Outages
Natural gas is more disaster-reliable, in addition to being more affordable, than electric - Unparalleled Reliability
Tens of millions of run-time hours and counting
Flexibility
- High Power, On-Site
Bring power to where you need it, in a compact footprint - Widest Fuel Tolerance Of Any Small Gas Turbine
Can run on various gas types, including captured methane (farms) - Stand Alone or Grid Connect
Independent, Parallel, or Dual-Mode
Control
- Power Whether The Electric Company 'Approves'
More and more, electric utilities are simply turning down industrial electric requests - Remote Monitoring
Complete view at all times
Superior Engineering
- One Moving Part And 8 Hours Of Maintenance, Annually
Simple and powerful, with maintenance costs are figured into financing - Robust Build Quality And A Durable, Weather-Proof Housing

No high-speed alternator
Ease
- 6 Month Order-To-Install
Installation time of roughly 2 - 3 weeks - Maintenance Included
Not just maintenance costs, but activities, are covered in you financing
Flex Energy MT250S
The base Flex Turbine® is durable and proven with over a decade of field experience and was the first gas turbine to be certified to the stringent California Air Resources 2007 Natural Gas Distributed Generation Standard. The Flex Turbine® GT250S continues to reduce emissions and generate valuable energy world-wide at commercial/industrial facilities, landfills, anaerobic digester plants, offshore oil platforms and oil & gas fields.
Flex Energy GT333S
Scaled up from the industrial Flex Turbine® GT250S platform, the Flex Turbine® GT333S is the most advanced in the industry with up to 85% CHP efficiency and variable inlet guide vanes. Efficient operations and emissions are maintained even when systems are running at part-power, without sacrificing the broad fuel flexibility and machine durability. The Flex Turbine® GT333S's, is certified to the California Air Resources Natural Gas Distributed Generation Standard, setting the benchmark for clean air, efficiency and fuel flexibility in one compact package.
Flex Energy GT1333S
Integrating four (4) Flex Turbine® GT333S into a single ISO container, the Flex Turbine® GT1300S provides a cost-effective energy solution for larger capacity energy projects. The Flex Turbine® GT1300S keeps the Flex Turbine® broad fuel flexibility, machine durability, and efficient full to part-power efficiency.
