CHATSWORTH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Capstone Turbine Corporation (www.microturbine.com) (NASDAQ:CPST), the world's leading clean technology manufacturer of microturbine energy systems, today announced that it received a follow on order for three C1000 systems from Aquatec-Maxcon Pty Ltd, its distributor for the Australian market. The order is for Capstone C1000 MicroTurbine(R) systems to be installed by a coal seem gas producer in a reverse osmosis water system application in Australia.

The clean water is made available to local towns as potable water," said Jim Crouse, Capstone's Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing.
Commenting on this new order, Capstone President and CEO Darren Jamison added, "We were very pleased with the $4.7 million order from Aquatec-Maxcon in July for our C30 microturbines. It is encouraging to see the momentum continue with this latest order for

C1000's from the same end-user as our C30 microturbines."
