On Youtube you'll often see stuff like ~750kW Waukesha VHP L5792 units on oil field skids; VHP engines are great with hot wellhead gas. Producers often skip NGL extraction on small CTBs because f it. Hot gas exceeds XXXXX BTU/scf, (low Cat methane numbers, ~75 or below) due to NGLs (propane, ethane, etc.,) which mess with your timing. These Waukesha gensets were designed to have 800kW of load dropped on them while pumping a frac job for a few hours/days at a time, they aren't the best for continuous 24/7 load (opinions may vary). Avoid Cat unless you're homies with parts suppliers—they'll ignore you otherwise. Genset prices: $50-$200/kW for 'probably complete' ragged out units with XXXXXX hours, but buy only if you have no problem dropping the heads and doing a top end service. Or buy a new one for $1,400-$1,800/kW and wait XX weeks. Capstone microturbines are $2,200-$2,800/kW, Solar turbines at $1,600/kW new. Best bet: zero-hour rebuild or low-hour standbys (<10,000 hours, check generator end bearings) for $400-$600/kW. Example of this: a 1MW unit good for ~20,000 hours before major service should cost ~$500k.
