Key figures for savings

1.

Reduction in electricity consumptionas the turbine enclosure fans are no longer required to run when the machine is offline
1.

Reduction in vented gas volumes due to the removal of the ‘Blackstart’ (power down of Unit Control Panel and vent of process compressor)
1.

Improved fault finding and diagnostic
1.

Reduction in maintenance costs
1.

Reduction in hydraulic leak pointsby moving to electrically actuated fuel valves
1.

- Reduction in leak points - Less equipment requiring maintenanceRemoval of 75% of the hydraulic synthetic oil system including 2x accumulator vessels
1.

Smaller footprintfor new vibration rack in Unit Control Panel
1.

improving cyber securityNew HMI running new OS and future software support
