RA - Yes, I should have been more specific in answering the question about "wet stacks". Wet stacks apply exclusively (to my knowledge) to coal fired electric generating units. I'll edit that response to remove confusion. Although I doubt it will help with current project, the
OP can read the Power Magazine article
"Designing Wet-Duct/Stack Systems For Coal-Fired Plants".
As
Dhurjati Sen kindly pointed out, combustion turbines can be either gas fired or oil fired. We have both in our generation mix, 6 gas fired units and 8 oil fired. None of them have wet stacks.
Six of our coal-fired units have wet scrubbers (water-based FGD systems). I believe four of these have wet stacks.
The
OP obviously has limited knowledge and no experience on this type project. What I did try to do is guide the
OP to a solution that would accomplish three things:
1. Solve the problem by hiring a qualified Consultant (such as Pullman). I expect an engineered solution, not a "best guess" is what the Client wants.
2. The
OP can function as a technical liaison between the Client, the Consultant, and a Contractor performing the work. (Thereby earning his fee.)
3. The
OP will be in a position to learn plenty... from a Consultant who knows what they are doing. (The
OP says learning is one of his goals).
Unfortunately, the
OP does not appear interested in this route.
