Expander Generators

Putting renewable energy, excess gas-line pressure or unused industrial waste heat to work for you, our expander generators drive clean, efficient electrical power generation. You can expand revenue streams while benefiting from the efficiency and reliability that has made the Atlas Copco Gas and Process expander generator a a benchmark in clean energy generation

expander generator for geothermal and waste heat recovery

EG-Series expander generator

Available in configurations to perfectly match your specific application requirements, the expander generators drive electrical power production from industrial processes and sustainable resources. Available in direct drive, integrally geared or externally geared, our expander generator offerings achieves the lowest cost per kilowatt power-train solution.

 

Proven Atlas Copco technologies boost efficiency, including variable inlet guide vanes (IGVs) for continuous power production under changing environmental conditions.

Get the most from pressure letdown

Gas grid systems, especially natural gas, require pressure to be reduced from pipelines so that it can be delivered for domestic use. Atlas Copco expanders enable you to recoup the energy stored in the gas pressure and turn it into extra profits
