GAS POWER SYSTEMS CATALOG I Application Considerations


Waste-to-Power Applications An industry pioneer in the use of alternative fuels in gas turbines, GE has the experience, expertise and equipment you rely on to turn waste into power. In many cases, the availability of such alternative fuels provides an economically beneficial fuel, compared to purchasing traditional fuels such as natural gas or distillate oil. With a fleet of gas turbines larger than all of our competitors combined, we have more operational experience handling, treating, and burning alternative fuels, as well as understanding the relative maintenance impacts of their use.


Blast Furnace Gas Rising energy costs and high demand for power are major challenges for the steel industry. Gases created as “free” by-products during steel production processes serve as an attractive option for efficient power generation. In addition to the economic benefit these gases provide, using them as fuel reduces industrial CO2 emissions and saves natural energy sources.


Coal Mine Gas Released methane gas from underground coal mines forms a highly explosive mixture when combined with air. This mine gas not only poses a major threat to miners, it also is a large contributor to global warming when released into the atmosphere. The potential danger of coal mine gas (CMG) and methane emissions can be greatly reduced when they are harnessed properly for power generation. GE’s aeroderivative gas turbines are designed to operate on full load, despite low gas pressure, high humidity, dust load, and altitude. The generated energy can be used in the coal mine to meet electricity requirements or feed into the public power grid. Thermal energy can be used on site.


Biogas These days everyone is talking about sustainable energy, but actions speak louder than words. Using biogas from the fermentation of organic waste in agriculture, food and beverage production, and other industries, GE’s aeroderivative gas turbines can efficiently create heat and power as a reliable alternative energy source to power your business today, tomorrow and in the future.


Saudi Electric Company Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) and GE received the 2015 Saudi Water & Power Forum Award for innovation recognizing SEC’s focus on adopting cutting edge technologies and its commitment to innovation at Power Plant (PP) 12 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “PP12 is one of the most important combined cycle projects in Saudi Arabia and will enable us to provide the additional electricity needed to support Saudi Arabia’s ongoing economic growth,” said Eng. Ziyad M. Alshiha, president and CEO of SEC. The nearly 2,000 MW combined cycle plant, enough to power the equivalent of about 770,000 Saudi homes, features eight 7F.05 units in combined cycle. Fuel flexibility is a significant advantage of the 7F.05 turbines, which can operate on natural gas, distillate fuel or Arabian Super Light crude. GE’s F-class gas turbines are the first to offer customers the ability to operate on crude oil.
