Gut Rehab Turns South Jersey Cogen Plant into Electricity Market Gem
Five years of essentially no maintenance investment or capital improvement at the Eagle Point Power Generation facility in Westville, NJ, had clearly taken its toll by the time Rockland Capital acquired the facility in April 2012. Today, Eagle Point expects the plant capacity factor to approach 50% once the last of the capital improvements are finished. Those improvements include everything from a punch list of 146 maintenance activities as well as capital upgrades, including a new steam turbine/generator, wet compression and fogging, and a complete gas turbine optimization and augmentation package which helped avoid the $11-million cost of an SCR.

First 7FA.05 Gas Turbines go Commercial at Xcel Cherokee
Two new 2 × 1 combined cycles with the latest 7FA.05 gas turbine technology from GE came on line at Xcel Energy’s 569-MW unit at the existing Cherokee Generating Station in Denver in August. Commissioning came just three months after first fire in May, which is significant because of the summer peaking period and the location of Cherokee and its importance to the Denver grid.

IAPWS Gives Guidance for Monitoring Steam Purity
Problems caused by mechanical and vaporous carryover of contaminants in the water to the steam cycle begin with deposition and corrosion of HRSG tubes and steam-turbine surfaces and can ultimately lead to material deterioration, performance deterioration, extensive downtime for removing deposits, and catastrophic failures. This article gives guidance for monitoring steam purity to avoid these issues.

Upgrading Legacy Gas Turbines to Meet Challenging NOx and CO Permit Limits
At the Clark Generating Station in Nevada, four gas turbines with diffusion flame burn¬ers were commissioned around 1980 and permitted for 103 ppm NOx. The turbines were convert¬ed to dry low NOx combustors and now operate at less than 5 ppm. This article discusses what is involved in converting to DLN.

How to Reduce the Startup Time of a Legacy Combined Cycle
Legacy HRSGs in service may restrict or limit the plant startup rate, but some possible upgrades can reduce the amount of time it takes to bring a combined cycle online. This article discusses three options: steam sparging, controlling the HP-drum termperate ramp rate independently of the gas turbine startup rate be venting steam, and lay-up practices.

The Value Proposition Offered by HEPA Filtration
The cost of an E12 HEPA filter may be as much as four or five times the price of a conventional air filter. Economic analyses conducted by owners have typically focused on compressor performance and assumed a one- to two-year lifetime for HEPAs serving high-hours engines. Based on those parameters alone the HEPA was, and continues to be, a tough sell. But where the cost of replacement power is expensive or unavailable, water washing is not feasible, or a corrosive ambient environment is causing premature engine failure, HEPA filtration may be readily justified.

Smart Starts Mitigate HRSG Damage, Preserve Reliability
A smart start is one that is able to fulfill these three goals: 1) Avoid damage and preserve reliability (more specifically, minimize damage from thermal stress and overheating); 2) Permit rapid loading of the gas turbine; and 3) Provide steam at the proper flow rate and temperature to the steam turbine.

Continuous-Blowdown Block Valve Reduces Startup Time
At Essential Power LLC’s Newington Energy Facility, the high-pressure (HP) steam-drum continuous blowdown system was designed to cascade flow to the intermediate-pressure (IP) steam drum. While the valve worked well for controlling flow, it did not have the degree of leak-tightness required for stopping flow from the drum during typical overnight shutdowns. An automatic full-port ball valve was installed upstream from the existing automatic control valve to eliminate the risk of flashing.

Water-Cooled Check Valves Boost Reliability of 7FA Liquid Fuel System
Owners/operators of dual-fuel gas turbines often experience coking problems with standard liquid-fuel check valves. After switching from oil to gas, the oil remaining in check valves, which are located close to the combustors, is exposed to high temperature. Water-cooled check valves for the liquid-fuel circuit can help to alleviate the problem.

Converting from Hydraulic to All-Electric Gas Control Valves Benefits Frame 6 Owners
Young & Franklin valves have been in use on Frame 6 gas turbines for a decade. One advantage of an all-electric control valve is that it eliminates varnish issues by eliminating the control oil required by hydraulic actuators. Plus, electric valves are more responsive than hydraulically operated valves, have greater range, are easier to maintain, and enhance plant safety.

Electric Fuel Control Valve Streamlines Plant Operations
A Frame 6B-powered cogen plant in California was plagued with fuel-gas valve problems, usually requiring at least a man-shift’s worth of work each outage to disassemble, clean seats/plugs, and reassemble. One solution is to reheat the fuel gas to above the dew point (120-130F) in between the valves, but this is considered far from ideal. The better solution proved to be replacing the original valve with a “smart” electric control valve in the same location as the original and a separate solenoid-operated stop/isolation valve about 6 ft upstream—just outside and below the turbine enclosure.

Stellite liberation from large valves installed in high-pressure (HP) and hot reheat (HRH) steam systems serving F-class combined cycles has emerged as an important industry concern.

Tenaska Lindsay Hill Generating Station Ammonia Pump Problem
The facility’s anhydrous-ammonia forwarding pumps did not allow for double-valve isolation during maintenance. These pumps are only required for use on very cold days. This requires additional maintenance and laying them up for periods of non-use. The system had single-valve isolation from the ammonia storage tank to the suction of the pumps, a potential safety risk for the O&M team.Solution. Plant management decided to install double-block-and-bleed capabilities to the liquid suction line from the storage tank and liquid return line to the storage tank

AIG Tuning, Catalyst for Life Forecasting
Many gas-turbine “bubble” units installed between 2000 and 2004 are operating with their original charge of SCR catalyst. These units have outlived the original catalyst warranty (typically three years) and have benefitted from a combination of conservative design and good luck. However, as these systems reach the decade mark, the design margins have diminished because of gradual (and inevitable) deactivation of the catalyst with age. As the catalyst nears its end of life, ammonia slip begins to increase exponentially. There are practical steps operators can take to avoid this scenario.

Planning Upgrades: Evaluate the Regulatory Impacts of Upgrades Before you Buy
One ongoing study at NV Energy involves identifying possible upgrades for existing assets. Staff Engineer Susan Hill says that no particular upgrade can be applied across the utility’s fleet due to differences in regulatory requirements. For example, about three-quarters of NV Energy’s capacity is in southern Nevada, specifically Clark County; most of the remainder is in northern Nevada, relatively close to Reno. Some Clark County assets are in PM10 non-attainment areas; plus, ozone rules are not well defined for the county going forward. Northern plants are in an attainment area.

Engineered solution improves SCR performance significantly
Getting gas-turbine inlet air and exhaust gas to flow where and how you want it to in powerplant ductwork is akin to herding cats. The problem, as described by industry veterans Jim Carlton, president, Granite Ridge Energy LLC, and Larry Hawk, plant engineer, Granite Ridge Energy, operated by NAES Corp, was that the plant had been challenged by an underperforming NOx catalyst since commissioning. However, routine destructive sampling of the catalyst showed reactivity at or above expectations. And testing confirmed that the ammonia injection grid was properly balanced. What to do?

How to Reduce Catalyst Lifecycle Cost, Improve Reliability
Balancing the requirements of each SCR system in the fleet can be challenging. A system can reduce NOx by greater than 95%, but when the efficiency of the SCR is pushed beyond 85% and—or, if—the outlet emissions are less than 5 ppm, the system becomes much more sensitive to several independent system parameters. These include overall catalytic potential, effective ammonia injection/mixing in the flue-gas stream, flue-gas characteristics for inlet NOx, velocity, and temperature distributions.
