Gas Turbine Fuel and Fuel Quality Requirements for use in Industrial Gas Turbine Combustion
Abstract
For economic and environmental reasons, it is important that
gas turbines used in Oil & Gas applications can burn a wide
variety of fuels with the minimum impact on the environment.
This workshop will examine the types of gaseous and liquid
fuels that can be used in Industrial Gas Turbines, and discuss
the two basic types of combustion system employed –
‘conventional’ and ‘Dry Low Emissions’ – and the flexibility of
these systems to accept different types of fuel. It will also look
at common contaminants found in fuels and the impact these
contaminants can have on the operability and maintenance of
an industrial gas turbine.
