FEATURE maintenance at a remote site becomes more difficult during severe winter weather.
Capstone’ s microturbines use a single-movingpart architecture, a design intended to reduce maintenance requirements while supporting continuous operation. The company said the existing installation had addressed previous reliability challenges, leading ENAP to increase capacity.
“ When a customer operating the southernmost refinery on the planet chooses not just to deploy, but to expand its Capstone footprint, it sends a powerful message about the real-world impact of our on-site power generation solutions,” said Vince Canino, President and CEO of Capstone Energy +.
Canino said oil and gas operators were increasingly

considering the technology for remote, missioncritical locations where uptime is essential and maintenance access can be restricted.
“ In a location where reliability isn’ t optional, and where maintenance access is limited, our systems deliver relentless uptime and consistent performance, even in the harshest of environments,” he said.
The refinery therefore represents a demanding test case for distributed energy. Reliability is not simply a question of keeping industrial processes running. Fuel produced at Gregorio supports transport and other operations across a geographically isolated region, increasing the consequences of disruption.
