Frequently asked questions

New containerised 1,250 kVA diesel generators with Cummins KTA50-G3 engines and Stamford alternators, each switchable between 50 Hz and 60 Hz. For suitable long-term contracts, generally from 12 months, we procure a project-specific fleet in other ratings.

About 1,000 kW at 0.8 power factor (1,250 × 0.8). Usable project capacity is lower because plants are planned with margin for motor starts, load steps and ambient conditions; the margin is set by the project load study.

Yes. Each module has a synchronising controller; units match voltage, frequency and phase, close onto a common bus and share load automatically. See multi-megawatt plants.

Matching an incoming generator's voltage, frequency and phase angle to a live bus before closing its breaker, so several generators run in parallel as one source and share the load. Synchronisation explained.

N is the number of generators needed for the load; N+1 adds one standby unit so the plant keeps full capacity if any one unit trips or is out for service. N, N+1 and N+2 compared.

Yes. Every unit in the fleet can be set to 60 Hz at mobilisation; two units currently run at 60 Hz on a barge at Hudayriat Island. 60 Hz generator rental.

Yes, through step-up transformers and MV switchgear supplied with the plant. On Dalma Island three 1,250 kVA modules feed a 5 MVA step-up transformer.

A generator adapted and certified to run in a Zone 2 hazardous area: an air intake shutoff valve prevents engine runaway on ingested gas and an exhaust spark arrestor stops hot particles. SINTAQA's ATEX certificates are issued per unit. Zone 2 generator rental.

Yes. Step-up transformers, LV and MV switchgear, synchronising panels, protection relays and cabling are part of our temporary power plant scope.

The modular concept has no fixed ceiling: plants grow in steps of one 1,250 kVA module, about 1 MW. Practical limits are site footprint, fuel logistics, MV design and fleet availability; for long contracts we procure additional units.

Continuous and peak load, largest motor and its starting method, voltage and frequency at the connection point, redundancy target, site location, start date and duration. A load schedule or single-line diagram helps.

Both. We rent and sell equipment depending on your operational needs and project duration; rental has a one-month minimum.

Scheduled maintenance to engine manufacturer standards, breakdown response, fuel coordination, optional remote monitoring and on-site technical assistance for the full rental or contract term.

Installations are engineered to the applicable local codes and the client's standards. Fuel tanks: UL 142-certified, double-wall, self-bunded fuel tanks (Civil Defence compliant). ADNOC-approved generator units are available for applicable ADNOC projects. ADNOC-approved fuel-tank configurations are available. ADNOC-approved components are used where required by project specifications. Zone 2 conversions are documented for each converted unit.

For standard deployments within the UAE, equipment in the fleet can usually be mobilised and commissioned within days. MV connections, island or marine sites and project-specific fleets take longer; we confirm the programme in the proposal.

Engineering and project delivery for temporary and permanent power: load studies, single-line diagrams, protection settings, cable schedules, fuel system sizing, installation, commissioning and O&M.

Yes. Plants are configured around the load, voltage, redundancy and site, and for long-term contracts we procure dedicated fleets. Gas, hybrid and permanent plants are engineered per project.

Equipment is selected and loaded for the site's ambient temperature. In Gulf summer conditions, generator output is checked against the manufacturer's derating data for the actual temperature and altitude.

Short-term and long-term rental, lease-to-own, equipment sale, EPC, O&M, PPA and BOOT, depending on the project.

Registered with multiple major organisations across the UAE and GCC, including: ADNOC, TAQA, DEWA, Dolphin Energy, Emarat, NMDC Energy, Etihad Rail, RTA, Dubai Municipality, KEZAD, Miral, L&T, ALEC, Trojan, Target, Al Shirawi, Al Masaood, Nestlé MENA. See our projects.

Yes. ADNOC-approved generator units are available for applicable ADNOC projects. ADNOC-approved fuel-tank configurations are available. ADNOC-approved components are used where required by project specifications. This equipment approval is separate from vendor registration: SINTAQA is registered as a vendor with ADNOC.

Yes. We deliver gas power plants and gas-to-power solutions using pipeline gas, CNG, LNG and associated gas. See gas power generation.

Indicative UAE rental pricing for a 1,250 kVA generator is approximately AED 35,000 per month, with rates around AED 32,000 per month possible for longer-term projects such as 12+ month rentals. These are indicative averages, excluding fuel, not fixed tariffs. Final pricing depends on project location, client requirements, daily operating hours, rental duration, redundancy, generator configuration, mobilisation, transformers, fuel equipment and storage, and the overall scope of supply.
