Bladon Microturbine

Bladon designs, develops and manufactures microturbine gensets (MTG) in the United Kingdom for operators whose generator fleet is a recurring cost line rather than a one-off purchase. The company positions its microturbine genset as a replacement for diesel on off-grid and bad-grid sites, citing one service visit per year, up to 90% service cost saving, a 30 to 50% fuel cost saving from running cheaper fuels such as kerosene, and a 45,000 hours design life. Its product range comprises the 12 kVA MTG12, described as its flagship multi-fuel microturbine genset in production and available now, and the 40 kVA three-phase MTP40, available for pre-order.

Bladon designs, develops and manufactures microturbine gensets in the United Kingdom for operators who buy power by the year rather than by the unit. The company states that the engineering choices shaping the product follow from that: 1 moving part, air bearings with no oil required, and one service visit per year. Its microturbine genset is presented as an alternative to diesel generators, which the company describes as serving 30 million sites worldwide with a capacity of 500GW. The MTG12 is described as in production and available now, while the MTP40 is described as now available for pre-order, with order books open and delivery slots being allocated.

Practical primary power without the operating costs of a conventional diesel genset, targeting off-grid and bad-grid sites where servicing is most expensive.
