Fuel Gas Conditioning Systems
Howe Baker designs and supplies fuel gas conditioning packages for gas turbines, fired heaters and burner systems, ensuring fuel gas meets contaminant, dew point, pressure and heating value specifications.
About This Solution
Fuel gas conditioning ensures that gas supplied to gas turbines, fired heaters and combustion systems meets the quality specifications required for reliable and safe operation. Inadequate fuel gas conditioning can result in turbine blade erosion, compressor fouling, flame instability and damage to combustion equipment.
Howe Baker designs and supplies skid-mounted fuel gas conditioning packages as complete, tested systems ready for installation. Our packages are engineered to the specific fuel gas composition, operating conditions and end-user requirements for each installation, covering fuel gas for large gas turbine generating sets through to small process heater applications.
