MicroTurbine CHP Applications for Oil and Gas Industry January 2008 Lee Richards Director, O&G Sales
What is a MicroTurbine? Power generator driven by a small scale gas turbine Electrical efficiency of 26-33% Combined with CHP can achieve efficiency of 80%+ Wide range of fuels 325 btu to 2700 btu Extremely Low Emissions - <4 ppm CARB Load range of 0%-100% load Low Maintenance Cost High Availability Rate
Simple: One Moving Part One moving part: TurboGenerator shaft Air bearings No lubricants or filters Shaft Air cooled No coolants or pumps Spring Proven reliability >16 million hours of operation Variable speed from 45,000 to 96,000 RPM Air Foil

Direct Heat Capstone MicroTurbine and heat exchanger operating at a Pennsylvania plant
Exhaust Heat Utilization Preheat fuel gas to larger turbines or engines Preheat water to steam boilers or keep steam hot Direct heat to oil/water separators Supplemental heat to regas LNG or other liquid regas process Building or utility heat Various gas plant and amine plant applications Refrigerant based systems
Gas Pipeline Installations Primary Compression Station Power with CHP Dominion Transmission, VA Three C30s provide prime power Exhaust heat for hot glycol Six other Dominion Transmission compressor stations currently run MT
Exhaust Heat Utilization Heat from two C30s running on untreated wellhead gas goes to heater/treater separator Microturbines also generate voluminous exhaust heat (2) C30s providing 600,000 btu/hr at 530F
Gas Plant Processes Heat to glycol for Dehydration process Amine regenerator Direct heat to Mol sieve in mercury removal Fractionation train for deethanizer
TurboGenix System Description Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) Condenser 125kW Expander-Generator 3-Phase Electricity Vapor Heat Exchangers 1. A pump circulates the working fluid through a heat exchanger, where it is exposed to the waste heat source. 2. That heat converts the working fluid from liquid into saturated vapor. 3. This vapor is then expanded across an expansion turbine, which is directly coupled to a high-speed generator (no gearbox). Pump Host Company Liquid Existing Heat Sources 4. The working fluid is then cooled, returning it to liquid state, where the cycle is then repeated.
