Evolution of Gas Turbine Combustion Systems to DLE Extending Fuel Flexibility
De la Fuente Ortiz, Jesús Demand for higher gas turbine fuel flexibility with reliable combustion systems is becoming a decission making factor in several applications accross the power generation and Oil and Gas Industry when selecting turbomachinery. During this exciting workshop I will share the latest developments in dry low emission technology with non standard…
Read MoreVibration analysis as an important tool for the centrifugal compressors commissioning. Historical case: Oil-whirl and other defects
Ramírez, Rubén Commissioning and start-up is the final step before production runs in a processing plant. During this step, it’s usual that several problems take place in the machinery. Machinery start-up and adjustments in the process conditions cause vibrations in the units. Centrifugal compressors are especially sensitive machines during this process and very critical. Thus…
Read MoreThermosolar power plants: HTF pipes requiremens and supporting considerations
Rodríguez Fernández, Ángel Most of the types of Thermosolar power plants use a Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF) to transfer the solar thermal energy to a steam generator. The produced steam will be used directly in a steam turbine to produce electricity or used to increase the performance of a thermal power plant. The pipes and…
Read MoreEngineering procedures in Hazardous Atmospheres in Power Plants
Rubio Martínez, Ana Hazardous atmospheres are one of the non-visible components of a facility. Dealing with them in the right way is not easy because of their physical and chemical properties and the needed of knowledge about their extension and location in an early stage of the project. The presentation shows some deadlines and strategies…
Read MoreOil Free, Compact Compression Systems
Gilarranz, José Compact, oil-free compression systems have been around for quite some time but the benefits of the technology are usually not well understood. This technical paper is intended to provide a detailed discussion on the different technologies and options that are available from the OEM, and how they can be used as individual building…
Read MoreGas Turbines, Industrial Type or Aeroderivative for Oil & Gas Industry
Barreda, Almudena In the Oil & Gas sector, mainly in upstream plants where no energy is available, gas turbines are the first choice as source of energy. In this paper, we will get an overview of the main characteristics and differences between two most common gas turbine types in the O&G sector, heavy duty and…

Sanchez Rodrigo, Laura
Read MoreCryogenic Piping systems / LNG terminals
García-Lozano, Javier When working for the first time in LNG terminals, even the most experienced piping engineers should take into consideration the special requirements associated to the cryogenic piping. Once introduced some general considerations, the presentation will focus on the main problems and concerns related to the pipe routing, stress analysis and supports design for…
Read MoreComparison between different Boil Off Gas compression alternatives in Liquefied Natural Gas Storage Tanks
Remiro Hernández, Jesús Ángel Boil Off Gas (BOG) and End Flash Gas (EFG) handling in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Production Facilities is a key point for the operation. During normal operation continuous flaring is not permitted and the plant is designed such that the generated BOG+EFG is used as fuel gas, via compression systems. These…
Read MoreUpstream installations: How to limit the PSV Flow in Booster Compression Stations
Álvarez de los Corrales Melgar, Diego When, in an existing Up-Stream Gas Treatment Plant, a new booster compression station must be installed, there is the possibility that the existing flare system of the Plant is not designed for the flow to be exhausted by the PSV of the new booster compressors. The presentation shows the…
