GAS TURBINE DESIGN DETAILS<br />

Flange-to-Flange<br />

In a coal gasification system, partial combustion takes place in<br />

the gasifier <strong>and</strong> is completed in the gas turbine combustors. Particulates<br />

<strong>and</strong> sulfur as are removed by cyclones <strong>and</strong> a HGCU unit between<br />

these stages. The final fuel arriving at the machine, although<br />

of low heating value, requires relatively few changes to the gas turbine<br />

flange-to-flange design. Full benefit can be taken from technology<br />

advances in traditionally fueled gas turbines. As in GE’s other<br />

“F”-class gas turbines the MS6001FA uses an axial flow compressor<br />

with eighteen stages, the first two stages being designed to operate<br />

in transonic flow. The first stator stage is variable. Cooling, sealing<br />

<strong>and</strong> starting bleed requirements are h<strong>and</strong>led by ninth <strong>and</strong> thirteenth<br />

stage compressor extraction ports. The rotor is supported on two tiltpad<br />

bearings. It is made up from two subassemblies, the compressor<br />

rotor <strong>and</strong> turbine rotor, which are bolted together. The sixteen bladed<br />

disks in a through-bolted design give good stiffness <strong>and</strong> torque carrying<br />

capability. The forward bearing is carried on a stub shaft at<br />

the front of the compressor. The three stage turbine rotor is a rigid<br />

structure comprising wheels separated by spacers with an aft bearing<br />

stub shaft. Cooling is provided to wheel spaces, all nozzle stages <strong>and</strong><br />

bucket stages one <strong>and</strong> two.<br />

Main auxiliaries are motor driven <strong>and</strong> arranged in two modules.<br />

An accessory module contains lubrication oil, hydraulic oil, atomizing<br />

air, natural gas/doped propane skids <strong>and</strong> bleed control valves. The<br />

second module would normally house liquid fuel delivery equipment<br />

but in this IGCC application, holds the syngas fuel controls. A fire<br />

resistant hydraulic system is used for the large, high temperature<br />

syngas valves.<br />

IGCC Integration/Design Customization<br />

Fuel Delivery<br />

The fuel system is designed for operation on syngas, natural gas<br />

or doped propane. Only natural gas or doped propane can be used for<br />

start up with either fuel being delivered through the same fuel system.<br />

Once the start is initiated it is not possible to transfer between<br />

natural gas <strong>and</strong> doped propane until the unit is on-line.
