MGT-70, which features cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology, is the upgraded version of V94.2 turbines. Better mechanical design, more robust combustion chamber, enhanced hot gas path, upgraded turbine cooling system, and better aerodynamics of turbine and compressor blades are the improvements made to the MGT-70. These changes boost the V94.2 turbines’ power generation from 157MW to 185MW and increases their efficiency from 32% to 34%.

In Iran, there are 180 active V94.2 Gas Turbines that can be upgraded to the MGT-70 (3); this would increase the country’s electricity production capacity by a total of 5,000MW at a far lower cost than building power plants of equivalent capacity.

The MGT-70 Gas Turbine meets customer requirements for economic installation and operation and provides excellent flexibility for industrial processes. MAPNA Group offers a broad range of interesting uprate solutions, life and performance upgrades, and other lifetime services for these machines.

Upgrading these turbines will also help save fuel, cut pollution, generate more electricity, lower maintenance costs and prevent capital flight. In parallel with the R&D operations on MGT-70, MAPNA Group is also working on development and commercialization of an array of products including the next generation of its gas turbines dubbed ‘MGT-75’.

MGT-70, which features cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology, has already found a considerable market in Iran, giving MAPNA Group the potential to enter the fierce competition with internationally renowned brands.  For instance, the MGT-70 helped MAPNA Group to secure a contract for construction of the 3000-MW Rumaila Power Plant in Basra, Iraq. The deal, the largest in Iran’s technological export history and the first of its kind to receive a sovereign guarantee from the Iraqi government, would not have been signed if not for the MGT-70 gas turbine’s capabilities.
