On B2B platforms such as MIC, inquiries like this are not uncommon.The customer’s request sounds simple: they only need a quotation for a 1MW gas generator set, but this is not a question that can be answered immediately.Because when the customer asks “How much?”, the first thing we need to clarify is:“What specific project will this 1MW gas generator set be used for?”
02 1MW is only a power number, and it cannot define a project.
The same power does not represent the same project.Also 1MW, a natural gas project and an industrial by-product gas project are completely different in terms of application scenarios:
• Stable gas source vs gas source with fluctuating composition
• Grid-connected operation vs off-grid operation
• Standard configuration vs pretreatment is required
These factors directly affect the unit configuration and system design.This also answers a question from many customers:“They are both 1MW, so why can’t the price be the same?”Because the projects are different, the unit configurations are different, and naturally the prices are different.There has never been a “unified price” for gas generation projects.
03 After receiving an inquiry, what do we need to confirm?
When a customer says “1MW gas generator set”, the information we need to understand is far more than just this power number.The core information is mainly concentrated in the following items:
Gas source type
Determines the direction of unit configuration
Gas composition
Affects the gas treatment system design
Gas pressure conditions
Affects the gas system design
Power demand
Determines the unit capacity configuration
Project location
Affects the environment and power
In other words:“An inquiry is not a quotation issue, but a demand analysis question.”
04 Conclusion
In the international market, an inquiry may only have a few simple words.
But behind a gas generation project, there are actual working conditions, gas sources, operating stability, and long-term reliability.Therefore, when a customer asks “How much?”, what we pay more attention to is:“How to make this set of equipment truly suitable for your project.”
A professional quotation is not just a price.
It is also a solution based on actual working conditions.
