Generac Expands Product Offering with
its Largest Gaseous Generator Set
WAUKEHSA, Wis. — Generac Industrial Power’s leadership in
gaseous fueled generators expands with the introduction of
its largest natural gas unit in the lineup to date.
The new SG1000 1000 kW gaseous generator is designed
with Generac’s in-house engine expertise and uses robust
MOTORTECH® components. The new engine runs on natural
gas, a more resilient and cost-effective fuel when compared
to diesel — at just a fraction of the emissions.
“This generator will revolutionize the natural gas sector of
the market,” said Richard Lincoln, P.E., senior director global
product management, Generac Power Systems. “Our expert
team has designed this durable and reliable genset from the
block up. It delivers high power density and it is an optimal
solution for various projects by providing significantly expanded
runtimes as well as eliminating any requirements for
fuel maintenance.”
The SG1000 is an ideal solution for a variety of applications
including healthcare facilities, warehouse and distribution
centers, educational facilities and more.
With the ever-changing global emissions regulations on engine-driven
generator emissions, the SG1000 gaseous generator
has been engineered to meet some of the most stringent
emissions requirements in North America as a complete and
certified factory solution. Compared to competitive gaseous
products at this power node, the SG1000 emits greater than
75 percent fewer harmful NOx emissions, and significantly
lower CO emissions. Available in both standalone and modular
parallel configurations, these generators are available as
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions certified for
stationary emergency and non-emergency use making them
suitable for energy management applications. They also have
Canadian Ministry of the Environment capability, and meet
the stringent requirements of various air districts of California.
The SG1000 is also compliant with the 10-second requirements
of NFPA 110 Level 1 Type 10 for the most critical
applications and includes UL2200 certification.
Generac Industrial Power’s new SG1000 1000 kW gaseous generator presents
an ideal solution for healthcare facilities, warehouse and distribution
centers, educational facilities and more.
Generac’s SG1000 offers the lowest inlet fuel pressure requirement,
allowing the product to be specified for a larger
array of projects and providing more application flexibility.
The SG1000 will conform to ISO 8528-5 G2 load acceptance
criteria and is capable of full block loading.
Available in a number of different sound attenuation enclosures,
each product will feature the same compact footprint,
allowing it to fit in smaller locations and take up less space
than competitive options. The generator also features Generac’s
premium control panel platform, Power Zone® Pro
Sync. Also standard on the product is the complete suite of
MOTORTECH engine controls for speed and fuel control, as
well as ignition systems.
“We continue to drive natural gas engine and generator
innovation in order to develop the best solution possible
for our customers,” said Erik Wilde, executive vice president
industrial – Americas, Generac Power Systems. “We strive for
excellence and to continually find better ways to better serve
the people and communities who rely on us.”
