Solalban Energia S.A. expects to run the two units at base load to provide
power to Solvay-Indupa's chemical plant in "The FT8 was selected for its flexibility and ability to meet our power
and growth requirements," said "We are very pleased with Solalban's decision and look forward to
developing a strong, long-term relationship with our newest partner as we
support their power needs," said The FT8 series is a derivative of Pratt & Whitney's JT8D aircraft engine, one of the most successful in aviation history. The FT8 gas turbine leverages the experience of the JT8D while incorporating updated technologies to produce power with less noise, lower emissions and higher base-load and part-load efficiency using natural gas fuel. The FT8 has been in production since 1991 and operates at more than 70 customer sites around the world. Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service
of aircraft engines, space propulsion systems and industrial gas turbines.
