Fuel gas conditioning systems are primarily used at facilities where fuel choices are limited. These systems provide many benefits to the overall oil and gas industry. However, most people who use the products that fuel conditioners help create don’t understand their importance.
We invite you to settle in and find out why fuel gas conditioners make our industry run smoothly.
The Importance of Fuel Gas Conditioners
The whole purpose of a fuel gas conditioning system is to purify the fuel at a facility so that the gas turbine on-site doesn’t experience damage.
Did you know that natural gas contains several different impurities in it when directly harvested? If left untreated, these natural impurities remain in the gas, take a physical form and can cause some serious damage to a facility’s turbine.
Aside from protecting the turbine, a fuel gas conditioner also increases the overall performance of the gas turbine and helps lower the expensive maintenance costs on the equipment.
Removing the Grime From Your Fuel
So what is in the gas that creates such an expensive problem for facilities? The three main culprits can be broken down by:
- Solids
- Liquids
- Gases
Solids
If left unpurified, solids can begin to form in the fuel. These solids include:
- Rust
- Sand
- Mill Scale
Liquids
Certain liquids can cause temperature fluctuations within a system that can in return cause damage to the turbine. The liquids that fuel conditioners remove are:
- Water
- Lube Oil
- Condensed Gas
Gases
Specific gases from the natural gas source can lead to pollution and put the facility out of its areas compliance levels. These gases include:
- Carbon Dioxide
- Hydrogen Sulfide
- Siloxane
Fuel Gas Conditioners and JT Skids
One of the other products that we like to showcase at Pro-Gas is our JT skid. When the skid and fuel gas conditioner put their functionality together, the results are excellent for the facility that utilizes them.
JT skids help make fuel gas conditioners easier to install, mobile, more cost-effective, and above all, safer for the employees at the site.
