Elements of Fuel Gas Treatment
• Pressure Control
• Temperature
Control
• Flow Measurement
• Removal of
Impurities
– Knockout
– Fine Filtration
– Last Chance Filter
Pressure Reduction
• Sliding Stem Valves
with Positioners
• Reduces the pressure
of the gas from 7001000 psi to 400-450
psi
• Protects Turbine
• Improves Turbine
Efficiency

– Heats Gas to ~350 °
• Boiler Feed Water
• Controlled by Throttling
Water Discharge
Start-Up Heater
• Electric Heater
• 50 F Above Dew Point
– ~25% of Gas Flow
• SCR or Step Control
– 50 F Temperature Rise
Water Bath Heater
• Gas Fired Heater
– 100% of Gas Flow
– Heats Gas to ~180 °
