• Gas Turbine: GG is manufactured by Rolls Royce and the model is called AVON 1533, size 2, gas fueled. It has a 3- stage turbine driving a17-stage compressor. The combustion air casing which houses 8 combustion chambers. POWER TURBINE is a two stage, impulse/reaction turbine manufactured by Copper Bessemer; model RT48.Operating at 495 c.
• Compressor House: The prime movers for these compressors are steam turbines and gas turbines. Antisurge control systems are incorporated by CCC. These compressors are Natural gas compressor capacity 40,000 Nm3 /Hr. Process air Compressor capacity 44,800 Nm3 /Hr. Loop refrigeration Compressor capacity 56, 724 Nm3 /Hr. Synthesis gas Compressor capacity 1, 30,522 Nm3 /Hr. and a recirculation compressor capacity 5, 30,000 Nm3 /hr. PAC is meant for supplying process air to the system. RC takes care of refrigeration Jobs in the synthesis area. SGC handles synthesis gas. PAC and RC are of horizontal split casing type while the SGC is of vertical split type. The syngas and loop refrigeration Compressors have seal oil system to effect perfect shaft sealing. The auxiliary units of these Compressors like lube oil pump and seal oil pump are also turbine driven.
