GE Gas turbine replaces diesel engines at frac sites

There are environmental and cost advantages of using a gas turbine rather than diesel engines to provide the power at a hydraulic fracking site. The foot print is greatly reduced. A comparison is made of a 15 MW site with 14 diesel trucks vs 1 GE TM2500 gas turbine.

Sustainability and Filtration 2010 - Presentation Barry Kellar of Fruedenberg Filtration Technologies

Barry Kellar, President of Freudenberg Filtration - North America, was a key note speaker on “Sustainability” at Filtration 2010 in Philadelphia. Part of this presentation is devoted to the Villedon eee.sy or energy efficiency enhancement system. Fruedenberg not only furnishes the gas turbine inlet filters but also the cooling of the air entering the turbine based on vapor absorption technology. Waste heat from the system is used as the energy source, so capacity increases of up to 22 percent are achieved without parasitic power consumption.
