Gas Turbines For Office Buildings, Stadia And Convention Centers

Whether you concern is saving money or reducing outages, gas turbines provide robust, disaster-resistant power, around-the-clock, with a lower carbon footprint and at a lower cost than grid electric.

​The California Housing Crisis Will Be Coming To The Electric Grid

We will take the proverbial Pepsi Challenge with grid electric every day, and twice on Sunday. 

Whether you're a property manager, real estate COO, superintendent, or other the owner of an NFL team: you're look for ways to keep power up and reduce your bottom line. Energy costs - directly from your employees or from those leasing your property - can be considerable. We can offer a solution to cut your power costs, which are a considerable part of the operating costs of any large structure.

Whether your concern is never-down power, back-up power, or saving money, gas turbines are a resource you should explore. 

Look into Technical Assistance Programs (TAP) to help implement your Combined Heat And Power (CHP) Solution. WESTERN REGION. UPPER WESTERN REGION. 

MBS Engineering, as natural gas engineering experts, are authorized re-sellers of high-end gas turbines from a variety of world-class vendors. Our aim is to deliver reliable power, and remedy high electric bills costs - tailored to your need and budget. Learn about one manufacturer (Flex Energy) and their gas turbine. ​​

Why Is Natural Gas More Disaster-Resilient Than Grid Electric?

  • ​Natural gas lines are typically buried underground and are not exposed to falling debris and high winds.
  • Supply redundancy due to multiple interconnecting pipeline points reinforces system integrity. Gas lines typically have bypass lines to provide redundant coverage in the event a service line does go down.
  • Physical construction of the pipeline system is not subject to the dynamic found in electrical systems where local disruptions can result in cascading disruptions throughout larger portions of the system.
  • Compressor units that move the gas run on gas themselves, rather than electricity, ensuring the system’s ability to move supply even during power outages.
  • There is an extensive network of physical storage of natural gas to ensures supply availability.

Gas Turbines Represent A Quantum Leap In Reliable, On-Site Technology: It's Just Better All-Around

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​​

Better For The 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 
    Ready for any weather conditions, and suited for heavy industry​
  • Load Management Without Batteries
    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
