KG2-3E

Gas Turbine Generator Package
During the past 40 years, gas
turbine units have played an
increasingly important role in the
generation of electrical power.
They are dominant in the offshore
industry, and are used extensively
throughout the world in general
power applications.

KG2 Gas Turbines for Power Generation
With 99.3 percent start reliability*, full-load throw-on capacity, and minimal
maintenance requirements, the Dresser-Rand KG2 gas turbine is ideal for stand-by
and continuous power supply — onshore and offshore. The KG2 generator set has
been specifically designed to meet requirements for power from 1 MW to 10 MW
(single and multiple units). More than 900 units have been delivered for standby,
industrial, and oil and gas applications worldwide.
*Based on D-R’s field data across the entire installed fleet from our first installation in 1968 to date.
