Pollution And The Gas Turbine.

Pollution and all matters concerning our eco evolution have become of uttermost importance in today’s society.  So much so that there is a growing awareness to the future and sustainability of fossil fuel burning power plants as they continue to have global effects on climate changes.  It is no secret nor surprise that the reduction of these emissions are of cardinal importance for our environment and subsequently for us as a society.

The current emissions from gas turbines are relatively small in comparison to other fossil fuels used for energy.  It has been noted that nothing is indeed as harmful as the emissions of burning coal. In 2010 43% emissions produced from fuel combustions were from coal, the next was from oil and the least was from gas.  It is generally accepted that the emissions from fossil fuels such as coal and oil are better replaceable with gas turbine combustion of whom  which the manufacturers and legislative powers are committed to lowering the negative impact environmentally.

Worldwide the conditions for emission permits are getting stricter.  The rules to which gas turbines must submit to are constantly becoming more stringent.  The ITS Flame Scanner is made from the best and most durable steel, making it able to resist very high temperatures.  It's electronic composition is perfectly optimised for ensuring that the burning of fuel within the turbine is executed correctly for longer periods of time than other Flame Scanners might be able to do.

All things considered gas turbines are still a very viable option for power generation while simultaneously lowering the harm done to the environment.

Iran to Become Self Sufficient in the Manufacturing of Gas Turbines for Power Plants

The year 2014 will be a momentous one for Iran in terms of its pioneering research and development in the field of energy and especially pertaining to gas turbines.  Iran, a country in the midst of political turmoil and sanctions from the western world, has announced that it will be manufacturing its first very own gas turbine made for power plants.

According to Saeed Pakseresht, Director of Research and Technology at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), by obtaining the necessary technology for designing and producing gas turbines it will subsequently become completely self sustaining in this field ultimately decreasing the import of such equipment.

Iran will be the first member of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to manufacture its own gas turbines for power plants.  This in turn will have an interesting effect on the power industry as a whole, which is monopolised by a few American and European companies.  A contract was signed in 2012 with an Iranian Research Centre, employing them to indigenize and create the necessary technology for planning and producing gas turbines with capacities varying form 25 to 30 megawatts.

Iran will be the fourth country in the world to possess the technology for manufacturing of V 94.2 turbines for gas power plants an Iranian energy official has noted.  The unveiling of Iran’s first national gas turbine is scheduled for 2015.
