Improve Your Gas Turbine Package's Safety and Sustainability
Control Systems
Turbotronic™ Control System
Turbotronic™ 5 is the foundation for modernizing your Solar® gas turbine package. It is the latest standard control system for new and aftermarket applications.
Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
Operator interface can be provided using a desktop computer or a freestanding control console. This comes with Solar’s most updated display and monitoring system and is a fully functioning HMI.
Vibration Monitoring
Turbotronic™ 5 is integrated with the Dynamix™ 1444 vibration system protecting your equipment from damage due to vibration and accelerating speed, increasing equipment availability and service life.

Fuel Systems
Electronic Fuel Module
This pre-engineered electronic fuel module is designed as a direct replacement for the existing gas fuel system. This single-lift module system is a complete fuel system, from the package fuel inlet to the engine fuel gas manifold.
Intelligent Fuel Module
The intelligent fuel module (IFM) is a compact, cost-effective fuel system upgrade for customers with older turbomachinery. The IFM provides a simple path to the latest electronic control technology, designed to complement the customer’s existing control system.
Dry Low Emissions (DLE): SoLoNOx Upgrade
Using Solar’s SoLoNOx™ technology, customers are able to maintain a cleaner environment to reduce emissions. SoLoNOx™ is an option for natural gas fueled gas turbines rated at 3.5 MW and larger, including the Centaur®, Taurus™, Mars®, and Titan™. It utilizes lean-premixed combustion technology to ensure a uniformed air/fuel mixture, and controls the combustion process to prevent unnecessary emissions from forming.

Methane Emissions Reduction Solutions for Gas Compressors
Solar has developed emissions reduction solutions to help customers achieve near-zero methane targets. These solutions are designed to mitigate the atmospheric release of fugitive methane from the dry gas seal primary vent from Solar’s centrifugal gas compressors. It also provides an alternate method for handling the methane when station or unit depressurization is required for scheduled maintenance or non-emergency shutdowns.

Safety Systems
Fire & Gas Detection and Monitoring
Our system provides fire and gas detection, and extinguishing agent release, using an advanced distributed architecture to monitor heat and optical flame detectors and gas sensors.
Back-Up Safety PLC
Our back-up safety system provides an additional level of protection for customers with project specific and/or insurance requirements. This includes a primary two-channel programmable logic controller (PLC) that is paired with a “safety partner.” The safety partner is a coprocessor that provides an isolated second channel for safety-related functions in the system.
Start System
Direct-drive Alternating Current (DAC) Start System
The Direct-drive Alternating Current (DAC) start system is a proven configuration for Solar gas turbine packages. The system initiates engine rotation, maintains engine purge speed, assists acceleration to a self-sustaining speed, and perpetuates a slow roll speed.
