Gas Turbines burn natural gas, light crude or heavy crude. Metal and ash contained in the crude and residual fuel can cause corrosion, erosion and fouling. Corrosion due to Vanadium is fixed by applying Vanadium inhibitor. Frequently the turbines and compressors are washed offline to remove the ash deposits. This washing is done when rated output and heat rate degradation happens due to fouling. Ash deposits build-up on the hot gas path airfoils for gas turbines operating with HFO, the turbine efficiency drops due to increase in surface roughness and decreasing nozzle throat areas. This loss of turbine efficiency results in a gradual drop in firing temperature, effectively magnifying the performance loss due to fouling. This necessitates maintaining the control of firing temperature. Problem due to Vanadium corrosion is fixed by applying Magnesium based Organic fuel oil additives mostly Sulphonates and Carboxylates. Country like Iraq is applying Magnesium Hydroxide successfully. Sulphonates and Carboxylates are expensive and the Hydroxide is competitive in terms of performance and price. Saudi Arabia and other countries use either or both the Sulphonates and the Carboxylates as their preferred additives. Gas Turbines use oxidation catalyst to reduce Particulate Matter.

We have all the capabilities to formulate, supply and monitor the gas turbine fuel treatment with the following metal additives according to the customer preference.

 Magnesium Sulphoantes
 Magnesium Carboxylates
 Magnesium Hydroxide
 Oxidation Catalyst (proprietary)

Our Gas Turbine Oxidation Catalyst can reduce the Particulate Matter to the World Bank guide line of level of 50 mg/Nm3.
