Mobile Gas Turbines
How does a gas turbine work?
At their core, gas turbines operate on the Brayton cycle. The process begins as ambient air is drawn into the unit and pressurized by a compressor section. This compressed air then enters a combustion chamber, where it is mixed with fuel and ignited, creating a high-temperature, high-pressure gas stream.
This hot gas expands rapidly through a series of turbine blades, causing the turbine to rotate at high speed. A significant portion of this rotational energy is used to drive the compressor, while the remaining power drives the output shaft connected to a generator or other industrial machinery.
Key Applications of Gas Turbines
The versatility of gas turbines allows them to be deployed in several critical configurations, each tailored to specific energy and operational demands:
Simple Cycle Power Generation: In this setup, the gas turbine directly drives a generator to produce electricity. This configuration is valued for its rapid start-up capability, making it ideal for meeting peak electricity demand or for providing emergency power.
Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP): Representing the pinnacle of thermal efficiency, a combined cycle plant uses the hot exhaust gas from the turbine to generate steam in a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG). This steam then drives a separate steam turbine, producing additional electricity. This process significantly boosts overall plant efficiency, often exceeding 60%.
Mechanical Drive: Gas turbines are frequently used as a direct power source for large rotating equipment. They are essential in the oil and gas industry for driving compressors that move natural gas through pipelines and for powering large pumps in various industrial processes.
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) / Cogeneration: Similar to a combined cycle plant, a CHP system captures the turbine’s exhaust heat. However, instead of using all the steam to generate electricity, a portion is used directly for industrial process heating, district heating, or other thermal applications, maximizing the total energy utilization of the fuel.
Mobile Gas Turbines
When grid power is unavailable or insufficient, FEVOL’s mobile gas turbines deliver reliable, high-efficiency energy solutions exactly where you need them. These mobile, utility-grade units are primarily designed for rapid response, emergency backup, and temporary power requirements in remote or grid-constrained areas. Their trailer-mounted design, minimal onsite preparation, and “plug-and-play” synchronization make them ideal for disaster recovery, oil & gas operations, remote industrial sites, and seasonal peak shaving. They are especially valued for their operational readiness and the ability to provide high-density power without the need for permanent foundations.
Design Principle
Based on high-performance aero-derivative or industrial gas turbines operating on the Brayton cycle. Typically features a heavy-duty single-shaft design, optimized for rapid start-up and transient load response.
Power Output
Mobile units typically offer a scalable capacity ranging from 1 MW up to 10 MW per trailer, allowing for multi-unit configurations to meet larger utility-scale demands.
Emissions Profile
Equipped with advanced Dry Low Emissions (DLE) or lean-premix combustion technology, ensuring compliance with strict international environmental standards.
Fuel Flexibility
True multi-fuel capability; seamlessly operates on Natural Gas, Diesel (Liquid Fuel), LPG, and renewable fuels such as Hydrogen-blends or Biogas, allowing for continuous operation regardless of local fuel availability.
Where Are Mobile Gas Turbines Used?
Our mobile gas turbines are engineered for rapid deployment across diverse industries. They provide critical power for remote mining operations, oil and gas fields, emergency grid support, and temporary industrial power during planned facility maintenance or unexpected outages.
Modular Power Scalability for Evolving Needs
Industrial energy requirements can change rapidly. Thanks to their modular design, our mobile gas turbine systems can be deployed individually or linked together in a multi-unit configuration. This allows facilities to scale their power generation capacity dynamically to match exact operational demands.
