Experience with Distillate Fuels in Gas Turbines

Source

Con Edison uses more than 2000 MW of gas turbines to produce both peaking and base load power. In 1971, these units consumed approximately 6 million barrels of No. 2 oil and kerosine. This paper discusses fuel experiences with aircraft derivative engines and industrial engines. Data is presented from a fuel quality study at Con Edison. Conclusions and recommendations cover methods of fuel purchasing transportation, on-site fuel cleanup, and recommended housekeeping procedures.
