Oil and Gas-fired thermal plant

This plants are to be converted to CCGT (Combined-cycle gas turbine technology) system for power generation, to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. The CCGT to be installed includes inlet filters that draw air required for combustion. The air drawn is cooled before entering the compressor cabin of a gas turbine where the pressure of gas is increased. The pressurised gas interacts with the fuel in the combustion chamber and generates gas of high temperature and energy. The pressurised gas will act as a mechanical force that drives the gas turbine, which in turn supplies mechanical energy to the generator. The escaped hot gases will be transferred to the heat-recovery steam generator in order to convert water into steam. The steam generated will drive the steam turbine, which provides mechanical energy to another generator for maximum efficiency.
