PORTSMOUTH, N.H., Oct. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- September domestic (US) sales are focused on the Oil and Gas Sector. Through direct sales and working together with its partner Flex Leasing and Power Services – http://www.flexleasingpower.com/ - FlexEnergy is becoming the preferred solution for remote, distributed power, particularly in areas of extreme climate in which much of US oil and gas production takes place. International sales in September included 3MW of power solutions for two separate Waste Water Treatment Plants, using gas recovered at site both for onsite power consumption and for revenue generation through export-to-grid. US orders include a follow on 1MW order for a compressor station in Pennsylvania and a 3MW order from a business focused on monetizing stranded flare gas.

Andrew Seys Llewellyn, Director of Sales and Business Development, credits FlexEnergy's strong momentum to its proven reliability and cost effectiveness over the life of projects: "All other micro-turbines require on-board battery packs to manage load. FlexEnergy's synchronous generator is simply a more proven and reliable technology. Reliability means less service, and less down-time. This translates into increased profitability for our customers." In addition, FlexEnergy turbines are able to operate on high BTU flare gas that historically causes problems for other types of generation equipment. Flex can combust rich gas while exceeding the stringent air quality standards of the EPA and California Air Resources Board (CARB).
Mark Schnepel, Flex President, commented, "Customers want solutions that work out of the gate. When they come to Flex, we work in partnership with them, taking time to understand their needs and creating solutions that add value to their operations. Our focus on reliability and ensuring clients receive manufacturer service support means we offer a genuine lifecycle solution to our customers' developing power needs."
FlexEnergy began as an R&D project of Ingersoll-Rand, and FlexEnergy turbines are directly based on the 30-year proven design of the Dresser Rand KG-2 'Kongsberg' engine. Schnepel continued, "Our design offers customers decades of track record, the team is seasoned and our focus is a global, adaptable solution to the growing market for small scale, distributed energy solutions. Through engineering leadership and our partnership with a growing number of distributors and leasing partners committed to FlexEnergy, we have been able to achieve not only record sales for September, but have nearly tripled shipments from 2013. In light of our growing backlog we expect continued growth in 2015 and beyond. Although the company has a lot to be proud of, the FlexEnergy team considers the success of 2014 as only the beginning as we strive to become the go-to solutions provider for smaller scale distributed energy. FlexEnergy will continue to focus on offering the most reliable, clean and profitable solution possible to our customer base as we continue to grow our global footprint."
About FlexEnergy Inc.
FlexEnergy is a privately-held, New Hampshire, USA-based business with direct sales offices in the USA, the UK and Singapore and with a growing distributor base internationally. FlexEnergy manufactures small gas turbines providing highly reliable, low maintenance and low emissions electricity and heat to customers globally, often in remote areas where the electrical grid can be unreliable, expensive or absent altogether. Developed over the course of two decades by Ingersoll Rand before being acquired by FlexEnergy in 2010, FlexEnergy's turbine fleet has registered in excess of 3 million operating hours since commercial inception. FlexEnergy's turbines are deployed in domestic regions and international markets where stranded gases are otherwise flared, local power grids prove to be expensive or unreliable, or distributed generation requires low emissions standards. FlexEnergy's 250kW and 333kW turbines are the only turbines in their class that offer the more robust synchronous generator technology utilized in larger gas turbines that make it uniquely capable of handling varying or cycling loads, which offers a significant advantage in the field. Additionally, Flex combustion technology allows its turbines to combust a wider range of gases, offering an advantage when using flare gas as fuel. These differentiating factors distinguish FlexEnergy as manufacturing the highest quality and most robust small capacity turbines available. Please visit us at http://flexenergy.com to learn more.
