Estimating the term…
A fuel preparation system includes a fractionation unit for treating fuel containing vanadium. A gas turbine is connected to the fractionation unit to receive treated fuel. The gas turbine may deliver exhaust from the gas turbine to the fractionation unit. The fuel preparation system may include a burner for burning a heavy fuel fraction from the faction unit and for delivering exhaust from the burner to the fractionation unit. The fuel preparation unit may include a boiler to receive the heavy fuel fraction for combustion and for delivering steam to the fractionation unit.
A fuel preparation system for gas turbines wherein said system is integrated with a gas turbine, said system comprising a fractionation unit configured to treat fuel containing vanadium, said gas turbine connected to the fractionation unit and configured to receive treated fuel and deliver exhaust from the gas turbine to the fractionation unit as a stripping gas and to provide energy to the fractionation unit, said fractionation unit configured to receive the exhaust from the gas turbine.
A fuel preparation system for gas turbines, wherein said system is integrated with a gas turbine, said system comprising a fractionation unit for treating fuel containing vanadium and a burner, said fractionation unit separating the fuel into a light fuel fraction and a heavy fuel fraction, said burner for burning the heavy fuel fraction and connected to the fractionation unit to receive the heavy fuel fraction and for delivering exhaust from the burner to the fractionation unit for heating the fractionation unit, and said gas turbine connected to the fractionation unit and configured to receive treated fuel and deliver exhaust from the gas turbine to the fractionation unit as a stripping gas.
A fuel preparation system for gas turbines, wherein said system is integrated with a gas turbine, said system comprising a fractionation unit configured to treat fuel containing vanadium and a boiler for producing steam, said fractionation unit separating the fuel into a light fuel fraction and a heavy fuel fraction, said gas turbine connected to the fractionation unit and configured to receive the light fuel fraction, said boiler connected to the fractionation unit and configured to receive the heavy fuel fraction for combustion and to deliver steam to the fractionation unit as a stripping gas and to provide heat to the fractionation unit.
