Fuel Systems



Fuel Systems are used to ensure the performance, operation and availability of turbines, recip engines and flare gas installations.
A combination of high quality materials, good design and application know-how is incorporated into our Fuel Systems.

The design of a fuel system is based on the specific requirements of the consumer and the environment in which it is expected to operate. To meet those requirements we have various fuel systems available. Fuel Systems can be used in combination with each other or can operate as a stand-alone unit.
Some typical examples of fuel systems are
Pump Fuel Units, Treatment Units, Metering Skids and Gas Fuel Units. Parts are mostly available through our Service Department.
  
Pump Fuel Units are used for transportation of fuels and other oil related liquids. Due to the environment in which our Pump Fuel Units operate, special attention is paid to hazardous area execution and explosion proof precautions in combination with the fuel composition and customers requirements.
Treatment units are used for heating, cooling, filtering or (de)pressurizing of the medium that is being handled. Treatment Units are available for biogas, fuel gas, naphtha, gasoline and other oil related products.

The picture shows a fuel gas treatment units for the supply of offshore gas. Specially designed and manufactured for operation on a FPSO vessel owned by Bluewater Engineering Services B.V.
To ensure correct flow of medium (gas or liquid) to the consumer, Eltacon designs and manufactures Metering Skids. Metering skids are manufactured using high quality measurement devices and materials and can be used in combination with remote monitoring systems.

The picture shows a Metering Skid with a Coreolis metering device, basket filtering and centrifugal air eliminator. Piping material is made of A-333/A350 cold steel and the unit is certified for use in an hazardous area.

Our Gas Fuel Units are designed to accomodate the requirements of most turbine applications. Based upon customers’ specifications we use this basic design and extended options to meet customers requirements.


The first picture shows a gasfuel package for Moscow city, Russia, It is a complete fiscal metering and pressure reducing station for the combined gas supply to various gas turbines and auxiliary boilers. Mechanical design according ASME and Russian standards. The station has a low and high-pressure section. The high-pressure section can handle a supply pressure of 2.5 to 4 bar. Each gas flow is suitable to handle 3.2 kg/sec of gas and is executed with 12" flow meters. Total gas flow is approx. 100,000 Nm3/h during operation. Total footprint dimensions are 12 x 8 x 3.5 meters.

The second picture shows a gasfuel package for Blackburn, United Kingdom. It is a complete gas pressure reduction station for gas turbine and auxiliary boilers. Total gas flow is approx. 50.000 Nm³/h. Mechanical design according British Standard BS.5500.
Both gas streams have 100% redundancy. Each gas stream is executed with monitoring gas regulators, gas filter and gas heater. The heating system is closed loop with two electrical water heaters. Package dimensions are 8,5 x 2,5 x 2,8 meter.

Our product support program forms an integral part of our design philosophy. The required consumables and parts can be obtained via our Service Department.
