Auxiliaries & Components

With Turbo Expo 2024 in London, held June 24 – 28, on the horizon, we’re looking back at insights from our interview with NETL at last year’s meeting.

The MT30 is a power-dense marine gas turbine that has a small footprint but generates a lot of power for propulsion applications.

The $70 million investment will be allocated toward the expansion of its manufacturing and logistics (M&L) center in Maryland Heights, MO.

The course will use the Agile Engineering Design System (AEDS) and Advanced Rotating Machine Dynamics tools (ARMD) to design and develop an electric turbopump for a notional rocket engine.

The floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) unit that will operate in the Sépia field will reduce emission intensity by 30%.

The JMS Sunshine, owned and operated by Seatrium, is equipped with two 16-cylinder mtu Series 4000M55RN gas engines and a gas regulating unit (GRU).

The project is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40% compared to its current processes with the help of steam-assisted gravity drainage technology.

Technology designed to reduce carbon emissions is supporting the power generation industry’s move toward decarbonization.

The new unit increased the facility’s capacity by about 50%. The company’s air permit from New Source Review (NSR) supports additional expansion projects.

The project, co-led by Black & Veatch and the Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA), will install Unit 4 with Mitsubishi Power’s 426 MW J-class simple-cycle combustion turbine.

The direct air capture (DAC) installation will remove CO2 from the atmosphere in Oregon—the company’s DAC technology will also be supported by $50 million in Series B funding.

The ATS consortium received funding to develop a microturbine prototype that uses carbon-neutral fuels in micro-grids.

The Western Farmers Electric Cooperative (WFEC) ordered two GE Vernova aeroderivative LM6000VELOX packages to replace steam turbines at its Anadarko plant.

The €1.4 billion framework agreement requires Siemens Energy to supply transformers and switchgears for high-voltage substations in the western regions of Denmark.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) loan will fund the development and construction of up to six green hydrogen production plants.

New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) is now operating two CarbinX carbon-capture units connected to the headquarters’ HVAC system to eliminate flue exhaust.

The company’s new hydrogen pilot plant in Kawasaki, Japan officially opened on Monday and operates four of its 0.8 MW Aqualyzer electrolyzer modules under realistic conditions.

The new PRISM membrane separator is designed for bio-LNG production, removing the need for other purification technologies.

GE Vernova’s center in Greenville, SC operates as a validation testing facility, technology laboratory, and repair shop for the company’s gas turbine portfolio.

TECO will manage the civil work and site operations for two of Taiwan Power's substations, and GE Vernova will supply its STATCOM system and transformer solutions.

The mtu battery energy storage system has an output of 12 MW and a storage capacity of 24 MWh, supporting Encavis AG’s grid stabilization and energy-trading efforts.

Ingersoll Rand and a consortium of partners provided $19 million in financing to accelerate Inkbit’s multi-functional additive manufacturing system, Vision-Controlled Jetting (VCJ).

The dual-mixed refrigerant LNG process technology, AP-DMR, achieved LNG production above 3.4 mtpa.

The vessels will be equipped with dual-fuel low-carbon ammonia engines and built at HD Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in South Korea.

Lummus will provide its O3S digitalization services to enhance operations and plant performance for Haldia Petrochemical’s ethylene plant in West Bengal.

The investment, partly funded by the Government of Quebec, will upgrade and modernize a power transformer factory and other facilities in Quebec, Canada.

The May/June 2024 issue features coverage of the growing carbon-capture industry, a tour of GE Vernova’s Facility in South Carolina, a Q&A on digital ecosystems with Emerson, and more.

The companies signed a multi-year contract to use Gecko’s robotics and AI-driven platform to enhance ADNOC Gas’ operations and maintenance services and reduce emissions across its sites.

The supply chain group will establish a reliable, cost-effective process to manufacture and commercialize the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR).

Gas turbines, including the air compressor and combustion chamber, face challenges such as high temperatures and the need for blade-cooling systems.
