Genloop buys Rolls-Royce Industrial Trent 60 and Siemens SGT-A65 gas turbine packages as principal, running, idle or mothballed, and handles the removal.
The Industrial Trent is an aeroderivative gas turbine built from the Rolls-Royce Trent 800, the engine of the 777. It first ran in 1994 and entered service as a 52 MW dry low emissions machine; the wet low emissions version of 2004 took it to 58 MW, then 64 and 66 MW with inlet spray intercooling, and Siemens rates the 60 Hz SGT-A65 at up to 70.8 MW, at 41 to 44 percent efficiency. Its three shafts turn independently, and the low pressure shaft drives the generator directly at 3,600 or 3,000 rpm with no gearbox. Siemens bought the business in 2014 and renamed the machine SGT-A65.
A Trent 60 is a modular engine in a package, and the engine and the package are valued separately.
DLE on gas only, or WLE with water injection on gas and liquid fuel, with or without inlet spray intercooling. The WLE has more places it can go; the DLE needs no water.
The engine is built from eight interchangeable modules, and a gas generator can be swapped in about 24 hours. A buyer asks for the hours on each module now installed and the history of the modules that came out.
Which shop did the last overhaul and what was replaced. The first full 50,000-hour overhaul on the fleet was done in Abu Dhabi in 2017, so the fleet is reaching its majors.
Siemens Energy builds the engine in Montreal and sells long-term programs, and TS&S in Abu Dhabi is the one accredited independent shop. Siemens no longer advertises new units, so a unit with spares, a lease engine or a service agreement is priced ahead of one without.
The generator, inlet, enclosure, fuel skid, controls and step-up transformer, and the intercooling system if fitted. Packages came from Mount Vernon, Ohio, and a buyer checks what is there before assuming it is standard.
The low pressure shaft drives the generator directly at 3,600 or 3,000 rpm with no gearbox, and Rolls-Royce built the machine for either grid. Genloop will take a Trent 60 across frequencies, with the conversion priced in.
A 60 MW unit at over 40 percent efficiency that starts in minutes is a peaking machine, and peaking machines are now bridge power.
Ten units at Bayonne, New Jersey, have run this duty since 2009, and most of the fleet is in the United States.
Blocks of 60 MW that can be on site and running before a grid connection is.
Mechanical drive and site power, from Qatar to Western Australia.
Direct drive at 3,000 or 3,600 rpm, which widens where a unit can go.
The short answers. The detail is in the contract, and in the call that comes before it.
It depends on the version, the hours on the engine and its modules since the last overhaul, which shop did the work, whether it comes with spares or a service agreement, how complete the package is, and its records. No public database records what used turbines actually sell for, so advertised prices are asking prices. Genloop makes a firm offer after its own engineers have inspected the unit.
Yes. Rolls-Royce sold the machine as the Industrial Trent, then the Trent 50 and Trent 60, and Siemens renamed it the SGT-A65 after buying the business in 2014. Genloop buys all of them.
Yes. Genloop buys units that are running, idle or mothballed. A unit that has been mothballed for several years is looked at case by case.
Yes. The low pressure shaft drives the generator directly at 3,600 or 3,000 rpm with no gearbox, and the machine was built for either grid. The generator and transformer have to match. Genloop will take a Trent 60 across frequencies, with the conversion priced in.
Yes. Siemens Energy still sells parts, overhauls and long-term programs for the SGT-A65, and TS&S in Abu Dhabi is accredited for both the DLE and WLE engines. Siemens has stopped advertising new units, which is one of the reasons a buyer values a used one with spares.
Genloop does. Dismantling, export compliance and transport are Genloop’s scope, insured throughout, and written into the same contract as the purchase. The site is handed back on the schedule the contract sets.
No. Genloop buys as principal and takes title, so there is no fee, no marketing period and no waiting for a buyer to appear.
Every enquiry is read by the people who inspect, value and buy the equipment, and answered directly. Owners rarely have everything; send what exists and Genloop fills the gaps on site.
DLE or WLE, intercooling or not, engine and package serial numbers, fuel, and what is included.
Fired hours and starts on the engine and on each module now installed, in total and since the last overhaul.
Shop reports for each overhaul, module exchange or repair, and any lease engines or modules that have run in the package.
The control system and its software level, water injection or dry low emissions, and any catalyst fitted.
The window in which the equipment must be gone, crane and road access, and any export or permit requirements.
Who owns the package and who owns the engine and its modules, which are not always the same party, and what has to be released at closing.
