An environment friendly option, Natural gas helps reduce CO2, Nox and SO2 emissions, and greenhouse gas effects. On burning, Natural Gas:
emits very few non-methane volatile organic compounds.
contains very small amounts of sulphur, and therefore emits little SO2
contains no carbon monoxide and is therefore not toxic
does not leave any ashes, soot or dust
contains no sulphur and releases few nitrogen oxides when burned.
Efficiency and Economy of CCPP Generation
GT emissions relative to other power generation sources
The Energy Facility engages a highly efficient turbine engine, fueled by clean-burning natural gas to drive an electrical generator. Exhaust from the gas turbine is utilized to operate a heat recovery steam generator for turning water into steam, used to turn a steam turbine connected to another generator - thus producing additional electrical energy. Complete exploitation of the fuel to extract maximum of energy is possible through this process.
To minimize water consumption and vapour plumes, the project utilizes an air cooled condenser in lieu of evaporative cooling that allows the facility to operate with less water than normally required. Natural gas is being piped to the facility from a direct interconnection with the GSPL Pipeline system.
