Applications
The OP16 Gas Turbine creates value in your application!
The food industry requires high temperatures for drying, cooking and cleaning. The OP16 Gas Turbine has a guaranteed oil-free exhaust and is therefore a perfect match for direct drying applications. OPRA has references in the food industry e.g. a starch manufacturing plant.
The ceramic industry has heat-intensive processes such as kiln firing and drying. The heat-to-power ratio in the ceramic industry is nicely aligned with the OP16 Gas Turbine making it an excellent match for drying applications.
The chemical industry requires vast amounts of heat, steam and energy for its production processes. OPRA Turbines has various references in this field from the basic industry to more specialized applications.
The rubber industry requires large amounts of high-temperature heat for vulcanization, curing or molding applications. Steam is typically used as a heat transfer medium in these processes. OPRA Turbines has references in this application.
The gypsum industry requires high temperature heat, e.g. for the calciner or for drying processes. The heat-to-power ratio in the gypsum industry is nicely aligned with the OP16 Gas Turbine making it an excellent match for drying applications. OPRA Turbines has references in this application.
Commercial buildings such as hospitals, hotels, universities, and shopping centers often require an independent energy source with a small footprint. If in addition high-temperature heat is needed e.g. for steam production, OPRA Turbines can provide the perfect distributed energy solution.

The OP16 Gas Turbine has a very high exhaust gas temperature and flow. The oxygen content in the exhaust gas is approximately 15% which means supplementary firing can be done without the need for additional external combustion air.
OPRA can assist by providing process know-how and knowledge of best practice. Our application experts will support you with feasibility studies and interface engineering. Are you looking for a turnkey solution? OPRA has an international network of partners who are experts in integrating our equipment into existing or new plants.
The impact of installing a CHP plant into an existing process is typically very low. The process is still supplied with heat and electricity. The only difference is that it is now coming from an environmentally friendly and efficient source.
OPRA is proud to be able to utilize difficult and low-calorific value fuels in our turbines. If your waste gas can be utilized in a CHP application the economics of the project become incredibly interesting!
