Omschrijving
Gas turbines are widely used to generate electric power, however, in a niche application they are also used as Mechanical Drive, driving compressors in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities. The mechanical drive application has different requirements compared to the power generation application. Significant development efforts focused on the mechanical drive application have resulted in strongly improved gas turbine performance in terms of capacity, availability and reliability. An overview will be given of mechanical drive applications in the LNG industry and the development of gas turbine hardware to improve reliability and availability in this application.
Spreker(s)
Walt Steimel is team lead of the LNG rotating equipment group in Shell and has extensive operational and development experience on Gas Turbines, both within and outside Shell. Franc Rosendal has over 15 years operational experience in LNG assets and provides now operational & engineering support to LNG assets, projects and technology developments. They will discuss the technical improvements in detail, as well as the commercial drivers in the LNG industry for these efforts.
