Solutions for Power Generation

Gas turbines in the oil and gas industry face harsh weather, high particulate levels, and salt ingress, especially in remote locations like jungles, deserts, and offshore platforms. These conditions, along with space limitations, threaten turbine performance and health, requiring high availability and minimal downtime despite significant airborne contaminants.

Heatric diffusion bonded PCHEs, offer superior performance at extreme temperatures and pressures. These compact units, ranging from 6 to 100 tonnes, are up to 85% smaller than traditional exchangers and operate at pressures up to 800 bar and temperatures from -162 to 900°C, providing significant benefits for hydrocarbon processing.

Dust, carbon, sand, insects, fog, rain, and salt spray can impair the performance of a gas turbine used for generating power in the Energy and Electric Utility sector.

Often located in industrial areas near other combustion sources, power plants frequently operate in an atmosphere containing high levels of small particulate. Even rural locations can be subjected to large amounts of particulate, usually related to seasonal agricultural processes. These contaminants significantly reduce turbine performance and result in frequent maintenance and costly downtime.

To ensure your turbines continue to run at optimum efficiency, Parker provides clearcurrent® gas turbine inlet systems developed for specific environmental conditions including coastal, desert and dusty regions, high or low humidity and areas with high or low levels of particulate. In addition to filter housings, we supply turbine inlet cooling, ventilation systems, acoustic packages and air quality services. Inlet cooling can provide additional power where needed, implemented either as a new unit or as a retrofit..
