Produce525KW @ 480 volts electricity and steam from one
fuel:
This system is driven by a 1997 Garrett 831-1000
turbine which burns natural gas at a rate of about 70 therms/hour.
The turbine shaft rotates at 41,000 RPM and powers a 525 KW Delco
electric generator creating 480V. The
900F waste heat from the turbine flows through a “waste heat boiler” which
captures the heat and yields exhaust at about 450F.
This stack heat could be further utilized with a heat exchanger or
“economizer” (not included). The
boiler (ATS, 1989) produces 1600-1800 pounds of steam per hour at 100 PSI.
It has flange mount option for an auxiliary Maxon burner (natural gas,
this is included) if more steam is desired.
Two Corken 490 (included) gas compressors receive
natural gas from the gas company at 50 PSI and increase the pressure to 190 PSI
for the turbine. The system has an
Allen Bradley “Panel Vision” control (See
Schematic - .pdf 3.5mb) which monitors the sensors mounted on
the turbine and boiler safety devices, and also monitors electricity generated.
The turbine Delco starter is cranked by its own battery start system (six
large batteries), the gas compressors start from separate electrical source
(diesel generator or Electric Utility). A
Culligan De-ionized water system is included in the package for NOx control.
The burner on the turbine receives a mix of
compressed fuel, air (from the plant or ambient) and de-ionized water for NOx
control. The mixture is swirled
together through a nozzle and combusted as it moves around through a unique
reaction chamber where over 95% of hydrocarbons are destroyed.
This system met California air quality standards and
passed numerous permiting tests. The
system provided permits to operate for our manufacturing plant as it controlled
hydrocarbon emissions from our production process. If you have any need for emission controls this system would
be ideal even beyond the power and steam it produces.
The turbine is skid mounted which is arranged to
directly feed air to the boiler through a duct.
The entire system is about thirty feet in length and about eight feet
wide. It is currently installed and
operational in Visalia, CA, about 40 miles south of Fresno.
