Turbine fuel provided for large land-based turbines used by utilities that make electricity and desalinated water, as well as large mobile engines and turbines for offshore and remote applications where only liquid fuel is available. The use of this fuel leads to a reduction in corrosion, ash formation and emissions (NOx, SOx, CO 2 and toxic metals) compared to burning contaminated heavy crude oil, refined residue, or high sulfur fuel oil. . Its production is done by purifying crude, unconventional crude, and other highly contaminated feeds such as other refined residue and high sulfur fuel oil. Each fuel is made as a single unit-operated product using an equipment configuration that does not blend the various refinery products off-plant and is less complex than conventional crude oil refining. These fuels are burned by advanced high-efficiency turbine systems in combined cycle power plants that have heat flow paths and heat recovery steam generation systems that are susceptible to corrosion and thus cannot use contaminated heavy crude oil or refined residue. Can be made. [Selection] Figure 1 |
