WATT SOLUTIONS WE OFFER

TO INDUSTRIES

Whatever your application, Turbomach can help you meet the

need for electrical and thermal energy based upon our experience, engineering competence and extensive range of gas
turbine products for:
steam or hot water production-for providing power and heat
tri-generation-for providing power, cooling and heat
drying with direct use of exhaust gases
chilled water generation for air conditioning
combined cycle-for high efficiency electric power generation
peaking power-for rapid dispatch

DIAGRAM 1 - STEAM AND HOT WATER GENERATION

The exhaust heat of the gas turbine can be used to generate steam
or hot water, for instance in the following industrial applications:
Pulp and Paper, Food, Chemical or Pharmaceutical Industry
District Heating

DIAGRAM 2 - THERMAL OIL AND STEAM GENERATION

The exhaust heat of the gas turbine can be used to generate steam
or thermal oil, for instance in the following industrial applications:
Chemical or Pharmaceutical Industry
Textile Industry

1 Power, Steam and Hot Water Generation

DIAGRAM 3 - DISTRICT COOLING

The exhaust heat of the gas turbine can also be used to power
chillers for cooling, which is needed for the following applications:
Air conditioning for Communications and Building Complexes
Turbine air inlet chilling, to improve performance at high
ambient temperatures

DIAGRAM 4 AND 5 - DRYING APPLICATIONS

Direct drying applications use the exhaust gas heat of the gas turbine to directly dry products in these applications:

DIAGRAM 6 DRYING OF BIO-MASS

The exhaust gas heat of the gas turbine can be used to directly
dry bio-mass.

7 Power Generation

DIAGRAM 7 POWER GENERATION

Power generation applications combine the gas turbine with a
steam turbine cycle to convert all thermal energy into electric
power, or to extract a variable part of it for thermal use, for instance in district heating applications.
This concept can be combined with bio-gas applications, using
bio-gas as a fuel.

WATT MONEY IS IN IT:

BENEFITS
OF COGENERATION

Cogeneration systems, also called combined heat and power

systems, generate both heat and electrical power. The gas turbine drives an electrical generator to provide electrical power,
and the exhaust heat of the gas turbine is further utilised to
reach total plant efficiencies of up to 90%. Thus cogeneration
is an efficient form of energy conversion, achieving primary
energy savings of over 40% compared to separate power and
heat generation. This form of energy generation directly benefits the environment, by burning less fuel while getting the same
amount of usable energy.
Along with benefiting the environment, cogeneration can have
a big benefit for your business by lowering your energy costs
and providing reliable power.

CogenerAtion
is more efficient

Cogeneration systems also called combined heat and power

systems generate both, heat and electrical power. While the
gas turbine drives an electrical generator to provide electrical
power, the exhaust heat of the gas turbine is further utilised to
reach total plant efficiencies of up to 90%. This efficient form
of energy conversion achieves primary energy savings of over
40% by using a cogeneration system instead of separate power
and heat generation.
Turbomachs comprehensive product line, along with innovative
engineering expertise, provides an optimised solution for your
specific energy needs. The more closely your plant meets your
energy requirements, the higher the overall efficiency. Better efficiency means less fuel burned per megawatt-hour generated
and less CO2 emissions.
By providing energy with a cogeneration plant, you can substantially improve the total energy efficiency, and reduce drastically the CO2 emissions of your operations.

Gas Turbines
provide Cleaner
Power

Generating power with our highly flexible gas turbines contributes to sustainable development. This enables you to meet
your growing needs for greater power, efficiency and availability while helping to protect our environment.

Clean Combustion
Solar gas turbines equipped with SoLoNOx dry lean-premixed
combustion systems achieve very low emissions of NOx and CO
pollutants throughout a wide operating range. This advanced
combustion technology, well proven with over 1800 installed
units, is available as an option for most of our gas turbine models.
CLEAN FUELS
Natural Gas
Burning natural gas reduces CO2 emissions by more than 30%
compared to oil, and 50% compared to coal.
Alternative Fuels
Burning biogas or harmful waste gases, such as landfill gas, coke
oven gas or coal-mine gas, advanced gas turbine technology enables sustainable production by converting them into useful energy.

INSIDE OUR PACKAGE
Turbomach gas turbine packages offer unmatched advantages: easy installation and
integration, maximum reliability, and maintenance convenience. Each package is
functionally complete with all main and auxiliary systems fully assembled. The whole
package is tested in our factory to guarantee outstanding quality, saving you time and
money.
All components of the package are proven and standardised to guarantee the highest
possible availability.

1 . ENCLOSURE
The enclosure protects the package from
weather, and reduces operational noise,
allowing an outdoor installation. This
eliminates the need for a building and
saves investment cost. Modular panels
allow the entire enclosure to be disassembled in sections.
2 . ENCLOSURE DOORS
Doors allow full access to every side
of the package making inspection and
maintenance operations fast, safe and
easy.
3 . BASE FRAME
The base frame integrates all subsystem components with gas turbine and
generator and allows an easy and fast
single-lift installation or relocation
4 . SPRING DAMPERS
The spring dampers absorb operational
vibrations and minimise the requirements for the foundation, allowing an
installation practically anywhere.

7 . AIR FILTER SYSTEM FOR GENERATOR

COOLING AND VENTILATION AIR
8 . GAS TURBINE

Combustion Technology

SoLoNOx Technology
SoLoNOx combustion technology is available as an option on
most Solar turbines. SoLoNOx was introduced in 1992 as a low
emissions combustion system. Gas turbines with SoLoNOx use
dry lean-premixed combustion technology to ensure uniform
air/fuel mixture for a clean combustion.
Unrivaled Experience: Customers worldwide have ordered
and installed over 1700 gas turbines equipped with SoLoNOx
for a number of reasons: SoLoNOx technology has more than
35000000 operating hours and has saved over 1200000 tons of
NOx emissions since introduction.
Fuel Options: Both natural gas and liquid fuel (diesel #2/distillate or LPG) options are available.
Low Emissions: Solar gas turbines with SoLoNOx are designed
to meet most exhaust emission regulations throughout the
world and cover a wide operating range of load and ambient
temperatures.
Cost Effectiveness: Dry, lean-premixed combustion technology means gas turbines with SoLoNOx generally do not require
downstream cleaning devices to meet emission requirements.
High Performance: Gas turbines equipped with SoLoNOx provide the same power and heat rate as equivalent engine models with conventional combustion technology.
