Power Recovery Turbines For The Process Industry
Abstract
Pumps running in reverse as turbines are often used for energy recovery applications in the hydrocarbon processing industry. Empirical methods for predicting turbine performance from known pump performance are reviewed. Since in the majority of applications, gas laden fluid streams have to be handled, the problems of gas evolution in the turbine are reviewed next. Based on the findings of a recent study of two-phase flow turbines, a new high speed turbine has been built and tested. The design features and the performance of this turbine are reported.
