Genloop buys Siemens SGT-800 gas turbines and the combined cycle and cogeneration plants built around them as principal, and handles the removal.
The SGT-800 began as the ABB GTX100, developed in Finspång, Sweden, launched in 1997 and first run at Helsingborg in 1999 at 43 MW. Siemens took the business over in 2003 and has raised the rating in steps to 47.5, 50.5, 54, 57 and, since 2019, 62 MW, at up to 41 percent simple cycle efficiency. The turbine turns at 6,600 rpm and drives its generator through a gearbox, so the same machine serves 50 Hz and 60 Hz grids.
Two SGT-800s of the same year can be far apart in price. These are the reasons.
A 43 or 47.5 MW unit from the early fleet and a 57 or 62 MW unit are priced as different machines. Siemens offers an upgrade that takes the early ratings to about 53 MW, so a buyer asks whether it has been done.
Equivalent operating hours since the last major, not total hours. Siemens quotes up to 60,000 equivalent operating hours between majors on current hardware; earlier units ran shorter intervals.
The core engine can be exchanged in about 48 hours on the single-lift package, so the core in the unit today may not be the one it was delivered with. A buyer asks for the history of both.
Dry low emissions on gas and on liquid fuel without water injection, at 15 to 25 ppm NOx. Dual fuel units with on-load changeover have more places they can go.
A unit sold with its generator, gearbox, controls and step-up transformer is a plant a buyer can install. In cogeneration or combined cycle, the HRSG and steam turbine are priced with it.
The gearbox sets the generator speed, so a unit built for one grid can be rebuilt for the other with a change of gearbox and generator. Genloop will take an SGT-800 across frequencies, with the conversion priced in.
Siemens is sold out of new units into 2028, and the SGT-800 is the machine it builds data center plants from.
Siemens and Eaton’s standard 500 MW data center plant is built on SGT-800s. A used one is available now.
Paper mills, chemical sites and district heating, where the machine made its name.
One, two or three units on a steam turbine, at 66 to 273 MW.
Geared to the generator, 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 rating, where the unit sits in its maintenance cycle, the history of the core installed, whether it sells as a complete generating set or with the plant around it, 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. ABB launched the machine as the GTX100 in 1997, and Siemens renamed it after buying the Finspång business in 2003. Genloop buys both.
Yes. Genloop buys SGT-800 units on their own, as complete generating sets, and as combined cycle or cogeneration blocks with the HRSG, steam turbine, generators and transformers, bought whole and relocated whole.
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 turbine turns at 6,600 rpm and reaches either grid through its gearbox, so a unit can be rebuilt for the other grid with a change of gearbox and generator. Genloop will take an SGT-800 across frequencies, with the conversion priced in.
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.
Rating, serial number, fuel, 50 or 60 Hz, and what is included: generator, gearbox, transformer, HRSG, steam turbine, balance of plant.
Equivalent operating hours and starts, in total and since the last major, and the duty the unit ran.
The last inspections and the last major, with dates and open findings, and whether the unit ran under a Siemens service agreement.
The serial number of the core now installed, any core exchanges, and any rating upgrade done.
The window in which the equipment must be gone, crane and road access, and any export or permit requirements.
Who owns the equipment, and what has to be released at closing.
