"“Turning Waste into Power”

Capstone MicroTurbines can cleanly burn waste gases to create renewable power 
and heat.

As waste biodegrades at landfills, sewage treatment plants, livestock farms and food waste processing facilities, 
methane and other toxic gases are formed. Most sites flare those gases or let them vent into the air, a practice that is 
highly polluting and damages the Earth’s ozone layer (the greenhouse gas effect of methane is more than 20 times that of 
carbon dioxide).

Capstone has recently added the CR65 microturbine. The CR65 can accept up to 5,000 ppm of H2S in the fuel. This means 
that there is no need for fuel treatment to remove sulfur in the waste gas prior to use in our 65 kW microturbines. The 
most significant benefit of this higher toleranace level is for applications using gas from anaerobic digesters 
operating on animal or food processing wastes with no detectable siloxanes. For these applications, H2S removal is not 
required at all - eliminating both initial capital and associated maintenance costs. Some biogas applications do require 
installation of additional inlet fuel filters to eliminate siloxanes from the fuel stream. Capstone has several 
distribution partners who are experienced in the requirements and installation of equipment for these applications..

The good news is that hundreds of biogas-fueled Capstone MicroTurbines around the world are, right now, turning that 
source of pollution into clean, renewable energy. Compared to conventional technologies, they do so with high 
efficiency, high reliability, much higher uptime availability and vastly lower emissions.

Capstone MicroTurbines provide the total solution: High-efficiency electrical and thermal power generation; 
fully-engineered gas conditioning including condensate removal, gas compression, siloxane/hydrogen sulfide filtration; 
and full service coverage.

Choose a Capstone MicroTurbine renewable energy solution to cut or virtually eliminate your facility’s power bills. 
Choosing not to do so is simply a waste of energy."
