GE’s advanced combustion technology will reduce gas turbine emissions at the Qatargas 1 Utility complex to meet new regulations from the Qatari Ministry of Environment.
GE will provide Dry Low NOx 1.0 combustion system designed to achieve low emissions levels of 25 parts per million for nitrogen oxide.
The technology will be used to upgrade six GE Frame 6B gas turbines that are providing the power for three onshore LNG trains at the Qatargas 1 site in Ras Laffan Industry City.
Qatargas environmental manager James Baldwin said Qatargas is focused on reducing our emissions footprint and energy use to the lowest practical levels.
GE Oil & Gas in Middle East, North Africa and Turkey region CEO Rami Qasem said the new contract demonstrates GE’s capability to handle complex projects, by offering engineering, materials, testing and field services on a turnkey basis.
The installation of GE’s DLN systems will begin in February 2012, with the sixth and final unit completed by of the second half of 2013.
