YPFB PIPELINE COMPRESSOR AND PUMPING STATIONS, BOLIVIA When Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos (YPFB) Transporte SA looked to boost delivery performance on its 6,000 kilometers of pipeline, officials turned to Capstone for an electric-power solution. First installing two units in 2006, today 11 C65 microturbines operate on raw natural gas from the pipelines, eliminating the need for an external fuel source while reliably powering the compressors at the pumping stations. Capstone’s proven technology and reliability are paramount to a country such as Bolivia that requires constant operation to export resources to nearby countries and boost the economic-development funds. During the more than 15,000 hours of operation, the microturbines have reported excellent reliability, upholding a steady flow of gas to customers in major Bolivian cities, Brazil, and Argentina. YPFB’s commitment to international air-quality norms dictated that their energy solution be as environmentally-friendly as possible. Capstone’s clean-and-green units fit the bill perfectly, with added benefit of less maintenance and downtime than traditional generators, providing YPFB with simplified and less taxing upkeep at each pipeline station. Estimating a short five year payback for robust and low- emission service, the microturbines also run an estimated maintenance cost 40 percent less than the cost to maintain traditional generators. YPFB’s decision to utilize microturbines on their pipelines is the beginning of a trend Capstone is seeing across South America, with around 40 currently in service today. Eleven Capstone C65 natural-gas microturbines power compressors at YPFB pumping stations.PDF Image | 2011 Annual Report Capstone Turbine Corporation
