Gas conditioning is the pretreatment of natural gas prior to injecting into a critical process facility. It is the process necessary to transform contaminated natural gas produced from a gas well, crude oil or condensate well into natural gas free of contaminants and ready for use or further processing into other products. Generally, the type of gas conditioning and processing operations recommended for any specific plant depends on the kind of gas under consideration along with the distribution of the hydrocarbons found in the gas.
The Fuel Gas Skids manufactured by EN-FAB, Inc. are custom designed by the engineers at EN-FAB, Inc. for specific applications.
Fuel Gas Conditioning System for treatment of turbine or combustion turbine fuel gas are also known as Fuel Gas Skid, Fuel Gas System and Fuel Gas Filtration and Heating.
The treatment of fuel gas is crucial to the performance and longevity of gas turbine. In certain cases, gas turbine fuel gas treatment is required to meet the fuel requirement and warranty of gas turbine.
A well designed fuel treatment system for combustion turbine should remove the offending contamination and provide the necessary super-heating of the fuel gas. Contamination in fuel can be categorized into gas, solids and liquid form. A few common contaminants are:
| Contaminant | Example | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Solid | Rust, scale, sand | Erosion and deposit in the hot section |
| Liquid | Condensed gas, heavy hydrocarbon, lube oil from upstream reciprocating compressor | Hot oil in combustor, missed emission, deposit on injector |
| Gas | Siloxane, hydrogen sulfide | Deposit and corrosion of hot section |
