USP&E is selling: 2.4 MW 2006 Used OPRA OP16-3A Natural Gas Turbine
50 Hz
Units available: 1
***Note that price is per unit
This used OPRA OP16-3A natural gas turbine is an exclusive USP&E asset listed at 2.4 MW output, manufactured in 2006, and available now from USP&E's inventory of over 3,000 MW of power generation equipment spanning 45 or more countries. Operating on natural gas at 50 Hz, this unit has logged approximately 40,000 hours and is offered in used condition as a turbine-only configuration, making it a highly versatile acquisition for buyers across Europe and globally who need a compact, fuel-efficient turbine for combined heat and power, standby power, or mechanical drive duties. The used OPRA OP16-3A natural gas turbine is particularly well suited to applications in the oil and gas sector, the marine industry, and manufacturing environments where the high-temperature exhaust stream can be captured and reused to maximize overall plant efficiency. This asset is exclusively available through USP&E and cannot be sourced through any other channel, giving qualified buyers direct and privileged access to a unit with a proven pedigree in some of the world's most demanding operating environments.
The used OPRA OP16-3A natural gas turbine is designed around the OPRA radial gas turbine architecture, which sets it apart from conventional axial-flow machines by delivering a compact footprint with a high exhaust temperature that is ideal for heat recovery applications. At 2.4 MW, this turbine sits in a capacity range that is particularly attractive for decentralized or distributed generation schemes, where a site needs reliable baseload or standby generation alongside a usable thermal output for process heating, steam generation, or absorption cooling. For buyers evaluating a CHP gas turbine for oil and gas installations, the OP16-3A presents a compelling case: its exhaust energy can be directed into waste heat recovery units or heat exchangers to serve process loads, dramatically improving fuel utilization compared to simple-cycle operation. This makes the industrial combined heat and power turbine configuration a natural fit for refineries, upstream production facilities, offshore platforms, and industrial manufacturing plants where both electricity and heat are consumed continuously. The 50 Hz electrical output aligns the unit directly with grid frequencies across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australasia, broadening the geographic pool of potential end users who can integrate this machine without frequency conversion equipment. As a turbine-only package listed at stock number USP041460, the unit can be integrated into a new or existing balance-of-plant arrangement, and USP&E's engineering team is fully equipped to advise on the ancillary systems, controls, and interconnections required to bring the turbine to operational readiness at your site.
USP&E is not simply a broker listing this asset and moving on. As an ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified multinational EPC and O&M company with more than 150 completed power station projects across 45 or more countries, USP&E is positioned to deliver the used OPRA OP16-3A natural gas turbine as part of a fully engineered, installed, and commissioned power solution. Buyers who need a turnkey CHP power plant contractor will find that USP&E can manage the complete project lifecycle, from feasibility and engineering through procurement, civil works, mechanical and electrical installation, commissioning, and handover. Beyond project delivery, USP&E offers long-term service agreements and ongoing operations and maintenance contracts through its gas turbine EPC and O&M contractor capabilities, meaning the asset does not have to be acquired in isolation. For operators in frontier and emerging markets who require a reliable partner to sustain plant performance over a multi-year horizon, USP&E's power station O&M expertise provides continuity of plant availability, scheduled maintenance, and rapid response to unplanned events. Whether the application is a captive industrial CHP scheme, an oil field power solution, a marine auxiliary unit, or a standby power asset for a critical facility, USP&E can structure the commercial arrangement around the buyer's needs, including equipment supply only, EPC delivery, or a full O&M contract with performance guarantees. USP&E is 100 percent OFAC and FCPA compliant, giving government agencies, international development banks, and publicly listed corporations full confidence in the integrity of every transaction.
If you are searching for a used OPRA OP16-3A natural gas turbine to meet a near-term project requirement or to hold in reserve as a strategic spare, this exclusively listed USP&E asset represents a rare opportunity to acquire a compact, natural-gas-fired CHP turbine with a documented operating history and the full weight of USP&E's global EPC and O&M capability behind it. Inventory at this power level and in this configuration moves quickly across USP&E's international network of project developers, EPCs, utilities, and industrial operators.
