    2 CT'S AT IDENTICAL LOADS BUT ONE HAS HIGHER CO2

    PONDERING AS TO WHY I, HAVE TO UNITS THAT ARE AT IDENTICAL LOADS MW WISE, BUT THE OTHER HAS HIGHER CO2 AT MINIUM LOADS AT ABOUT 60% OR 107 MW. THE CO2 IS ABOUT 5 TIMES AS HIGH AS THE OTHER. ALL GAS VALVES ON THESE TWO MACHINES (DLN) ARE PRETTY IDENTICAL, IGV'S THE SAME! CAN ANY ONE SUGGEST...

    How to calculate the cost of wasted steam?

    I would like to know if anybody could tell me how to calculate what the cost is to replace 200 psig of steam. What I'm trying to do is fiqure out what it's costing us in burning natural gas in the 501F dln gas turbine to reproduce 200 psig of steam. This 200 psig of steam is sent to HP dump...

    boiler chemistry!

    IS there a time frame or formula that would indicate when it's okay to test the water chemistry. Standard I have used is 2 to 4 hours after a start up of a HRSG operating 1300 to 2400 psig hp steam. FLORIDA, BIGDOG50

    Deaeration/02 removal, Can Mechanical remove 100%

    Hello ENG. Can anybody tell me if there is a DA system that removes 100 % O2 by mechanical means? I'm working with an ALSTOM condenser with a side mounted DA. and I'm little confused why the operators are continuing to run Pegging steam to the system when they are a steady state. The manager of...

    Reducing sulfate level in cooling tower!

    Hello all, I have a question concerning are sulfate levels. Currently ph control in are cooling tower (8 cell forced draft)is done by sulfuric acid which will increase sulfate level correct? Does Hydrochloric acid produce less sulfates and why? And would this be an option for a large cooling...

    Cooling Tower Blowdown for Heat recovery steam Generator or HRSG?

    Industrial) Jul 29, 2004 Hello, I'm new to ENG-tips and I can say it's a great place for learning. My question is, what is the down side of taking Cooling tower blowdown that runs less than 3 cycles and < 1000 us/cm on the tower. Well water make up is from(Florida.aquafer) and Grey water from...

    CO WHEN COMBUSTION TURBINE LOAD CHANGES

    Can anybody explain in detail CO in relation to turbine loads on a 501 F or any gas turbine, natural gas unit. Is it because to much air flow vs gas flow or unburned fuel left behind. When a unit is producing higher Co on load changes or is it because IGV's are shifting with load going closed...
