Powerful, Efficient, and Safe: Cat Offshore GenSets
The Cat GenSets from the C280, C175, and 3500 series offer an excellent combination of power and efficiency for demanding offshore applications. These generators are equipped with advanced turbocharging and intercooling systems that optimize engine performance while reducing fuel consumption. This results in lower emissions and, over the long term, reduced operating costs. The modern engine control system provides precise real-time data, making it easier to integrate into existing monitoring systems. This enhances efficiency while simplifying maintenance and servicing.
For use in hazardous offshore environments, Zeppelin Power Systems offers specialized container solutions that ensure maximum safety. By housing the GenSets in ATEX-certified containers, even the most stringent safety requirements are met. These robust containers reliably protect the generators from extreme weather conditions, mechanical stresses, and corrosion. Made from seawater-resistant materials, they are DNV-certified and feature safety features such as liquid catch basins. This makes it possible to adapt standard GenSets for safe operation in hazardous zones, offering the ideal solution for critical offshore operations such as gas compression, drilling drives, and well service.
Reliable Performance in Hazardous Areas: Cat Hazardous Location GenSets
Our Cat GenSets for Hazardous Locations, including the models C32 (50/60 Hz), 3512C HD (60 Hz), and 3516C HD (60 Hz), are specifically designed for use in explosive environments. They combine powerful and reliable power supply with the highest safety standards. These GenSets are ATEX-certified and offer optimal protection in critical offshore and industrial applications through their robust construction and advanced technology. With a focus on reliability and efficiency, they meet the stringent industry requirements even under extreme conditions, providing flexible solutions for demanding applications.
