The all radial OP16 Gas Turbine and introducing the new OP16 3C for low calorific value gases
Operators of power generation equipment are faced with the need to reduce operating costs as well as the need for flexible solutions to meet the changing market conditions, such as stricter regulations and increasing renewables on the grid. Varying fuel compositions and new sources of fuel can provide further challenges for the operators. With stricter emissions regulations, the need to utilize rather than flaring or venting a broad range of waste gases has increased in the oil and gas, industrial, waste to power and marine sectors. Increasing renewables on the grid creates varying load demands and severe weather and catastrophes have shown the grid can be vulnerable.
Independence from an unreliable or non-existent grid may increase the need for onsite power and utilizing local fuel sources may reduce costs. This webinar will be divided into two parts. Part 1 (25-30 min) will introduce smaller gas turbines and explain how radial turbines are different from axial turbines as well as more details on the all radial OP16 series of gas turbines and its combustion systems for different fuel types (including syngas, sulphur rich wellhead gas and biofuels). The presentation will also discuss the recently introduced OP16-3C gas turbine. This gas turbine has been developed to meet the increasing demand to burn alternative fuels including syngas, waste gas, biogas, ethanol and pyrolysis oil.
Part 2 (25-30 min) presents 2 case studies for onsite power. The first case study demonstrates operational experience on untreated wellhead gas both onshore and offshore. The utilization of waste gases from oil and gas fields to generate power saves costs and meets the stricter regulations on flaring. How the OP16 Gas Turbines can operate on sour wellhead gas in a remote location is also explained. The second case study explains how industrial users can benefit from utilizing both the exhaust and power from a gas turbine CHP system. Strict emissions regulations can be met and savings and overall efficiency can be increased.
