    GasTech designs and manufactures fuel gas conditioning equipment and systems. This includes components like filters, scrubbers, and heaters that can be packaged together on skids. The equipment conditions fuel gas to remove contaminants and meet turbine requirements. A basic fuel gas conditioning system will use coalescing filters to remove solid and liquid contaminants, followed by heating to superheat the gas before entering the turbine. The heating raises the gas temperature above the hydrate formation point and provides the minimum superheat specified by the turbine manufacturer. This ensures the fuel gas is clean and dry to prevent erosion, deposits and corrosion in the turbine.

    Fuel Gas Conditioning System for treatment of turbine or combustion turbine fuel gas are also
    known as Fuel Gas Skid, Fuel Gas System and Fuel Gas Filtration and Heating. The treatment
    of fuel gas is crucial to the performance and longevity of gas turbine. In certain cases, gas turbine
    fuel gas treatment is required to meet the fuel requirement and warranty of the gas turbine.
    A well design fuel treatment system for combustion turbine should remove the offending
    contamination and provide the necessary superheating of the fuel gas. Contamination in fuel can
    be categorized into gas, solids, liquid form. A few common contaminations are

    Contamination Example Effect

    Solid Rust, Mill Scale, Sand Erosion and deposit in the hot section

    Hot Spot in combustor.


    Water, Condensed gas, Heavy Hydrocarbon, Lube Oil
    Liquid Missed Emission
    from upstream reciprocating compressor.
    Deposit on injector.

    Gas Siloxane, Hydrogen Sulfide Deposit and corrosion of hot section

    A basic fuel gas conditioning system will remove solid and liquid contamination utilizing ultra
    efficient coalescing filter element. After solid and liquid removal, the gas is superheated utilizing
    electric heater or other means of heating. Following is a typical block diagram of a basic fuel gas
    conditioning system.
    Untreated fuel gas enters pre-heater H-100. This heater may be required to prevent the formation
    of hydrate due to pressure and temperature drop across pressure regulator PCº-110. The
    formation of hydrate depends on the presence of free water, gas composition and amount of
    pressure drop across PCº-110. When required, H-110 will raise the temperature of the gas above
    its hydrate formation temperature as the gas is regulated through PCº-110.

    Pressure regulator PCº-110 is employed to regulate the pressure of the gas when the supply
    pressure exceeds the requirement of the gas turbine fuel system.

    Once the gas is at the correct pressure, it goes though one of the two high efficiency filter
    coalescer F-200A/B. These are 2 x 100% rated filter coalescer that would enable the changing of
    the filter without disrupting the fuel supply to the gas turbine.

    A high efficiency coalescing element with an 99.99% efficiency of 0.3 micron may be required
    whenever there are reciprocating compressor located upstream of the gas supply chain . We have
    seen many instance where the lube oil from these compressor making it way to the fuel system of
    gas turbine and causing problem. Thus, it is imperative that the fuel gas conditioning system is
    design with them in mind.

    At this point the gas is saturated since all free liquid have been removed by the filter coalescer
    (worst case scenario). By providing the necessary differential temperature rise across super
    heater H-300, we are assured that the gas has met the minimum superheat requirement of the gas
    turbine specification.
    Super heater H-300 is employed to provide the required superheating. Our approach is to
    provide all the super heating across this heater. For instance, if the gas turbine required 50
    degrees superheat, the heater will be sized to provide 50 degrees temperature rise across it. We
    also recommend EML Manufacturing electric heaters due to their instant on capability, no
    emission , and reliability compared other types heating method.
    EML Manufacturing has extensive knowledge and experience in the design of fuel gas
    conditioning system for major gas turbine manufacturer's.
