Two Solar 4012-kW-output, combined-cycle Centaur gas-turbine-powered compressor units have been placed in service in a new gas processing plant near Okarche, OK. The cryogenic natural gas plant will process 150 million SCF/day using mechanical refrigeration and two-stage or turbo expansion to remove natural gas liquids. The plant delivers 985 Btu/SCF residue gas to the sales pipeline at 1000 psi. Other major equipment installed includes one Solar Centaur gas-turbine-powered York propane refigeration compressor equipped with an exhaust heat recovery unit, three 1000-hp electric-motor-driven residue compressors, and two turboexpanders of 758 and 1100-hp output, respectively. The two Centaur combined-cycle units operate in parallel and serve as continuous-duty compressors, supplying natural gas from the processing plant to gas pipeline customers.
