A leaner, greener power turbine
Using dry low-emissions combustion technology and a modular design, a turbine manufacturer developed a cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable power system for compressor-drive applications. Engineers at the Dresser-Rand Turbo Products Division in Olean, NY, have used modular design and aircraft-engine technology to develop a new turbine that according to the company is more efficient and reliable than its predecessors. The Vectra DR-61P power turbine is expected to provide operational savings by reducing maintenance downtime. In addition, the Vectra will have the option to incorporate General Electric`s dry low-emissions (DLE) combustion system to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and unburned hydrocarbons generated.
