CHATSWORTH, CA -- Capstone Turbine Corporation, the world’s leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, today announced that it received a follow on order for three C1000 systems from Aquatec-Maxcon Pty Ltd, its distributor for the Australian market. The order is for Capstone C1000 MicroTurbine® systems to be installed by a coal seem gas producer in a reverse osmosis water system application in Australia.

“Australia is proving to be a strong market for both green building and oil & gas applications. This project is to power a reverse osmosis plant that cleans contaminated water that is a byproduct of coal seem gas extraction. The clean water is made available to local towns as potable water,” said Jim Crouse, Capstone’s Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing.

Commenting on this new order, Capstone President and CEO Darren Jamison added, “We were very pleased with the $4.7 million order from Aquatec-Maxcon in July for our C30 microturbines. It is encouraging to see the momentum continue with this latest order for C1000’s from the same end-user as our C30 microturbines.”

Aquatec-Maxcon is Australia’s leading provider of water and wastewater technology and equipment. It is headquartered in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia and has offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and now a newly acquired property in New Zealand. Through its sister company, PT Aquatec-Maxcon Indonesia, it also has offices in Jakarta and Surabaya.

The C1000 is a robust megawatt power system, based on Capstone’s C200 microturbine product line. It will be configured in a single ISO container and will provide the same low emissions and low maintenance benefits of Capstone’s products in a compact footprint.
