Extended Fuels Capability of Siemens’ SGT-400 DLE Combustion System Brian M Igoe Andy Stocker Expert Proposal Manager (FEED) Product Manager SGT-400 Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd Ruston House Ruston House PO Box 1, Waterside South Lincoln LN5 PO Box 1, Waterside South Lincoln LN5 7FD 7FD England England T: +44 1522 584418 T: +44 1522 586895 brian.igoe@ andy.stocker@ Abstract To meet the growing demand to operate on gaseous fuels with little or no treatment, or use fuels derived from a variety of waste conversion processes Siemens Energy has extended the fuels capability of its’ product range, especially the Dry Low Emissions combustion system. Fuels containing high levels of inert species, nitrogen or carbon dioxide, lower the effective Wobbe Index of the fuels, thus needing increased fuel mass flow to achieve the same energy content. This paper presents the development process along with the results achieved to accommodate a wide range of fuels. Discrete changes were required in the DLE burner hardware allowing fuel flows to be achieved at similar supply pressures and combustor pressure drop as for standard fuels thus ensuring combustion characteristics were not compromised. Some applications are presented and discussed covering both on-shore and off-shore duty, including the most recent application on the SGT-400 using a weak bio-gas derived from an ethanol production plant. A gas only solution was applied, requiring careful management of the control parameters to achieve acceptable starting and transient operation through to the application of load. This programme demonstrates the ability of the Sie
