Solar Turbines' modular industrial gas turbines, fueled by natural gas or hydrogen-rich gases, can be integrated with combined heat and power (CHP) systems to significantly enhance energy efficiency and reduce emissions. A key benefit of the gas turbine solution is the ability to utilize steam independently or in blended forms as refinery output fluctuates and various gas producers/consumers come online or go offline. Compared to alternative solutions, this capability enables customers to reduce flaring and improve thermal efficiency while fully leveraging the value of low-emission combined cycle or CHP configurations. CHP utilizing waste gas combustion replaces existing onsite or imported thermal and power generation at a plant, typically reducing the facility's Scope 1 and/or Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Solar's capabilities and reference projects are unique in the downstream market at this power level, covering gases with BTU content ranging from very low to very high, including carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen-rich gases.
