A leading global energy technology company required a complete intake and exhaust acoustic solution for a distributed energy project in Houston, Texas, USA.
The project was developed for a major North American energy company and involved a 5.1MW SGT-100 gas turbine system. The equipment required strict compliance with North American standards, including structural safety, acoustic performance, corrosion protection, and outdoor operating reliability.
CLET provided an integrated design and manufacturing solution for the complete gas turbine intake and exhaust system, including intake silencers, exhaust acoustic ducts, exhaust stack modules, structural supports, and maintenance platforms.
