Five Diverse Case Studies of Operating LP Gas Fuelled Microturbines The following five (5) case studies represent diverse applications of microturbines operating on LP Gas. Capstone and Bowman are the only microturbine manufacturers with installations currently utilizing LP Gas. Other manufacturers have experimented with LP Gas and have expressed interest in the LP Gas market. The case studies below all use Capstone microturbines. Information on other microturbine manufacturers can be found at the end of this report. I. Interstate Detroit Diesel (IDD), Gillette, Wyoming, USA Primary Contact: Mr. Kevin Schram, IDD (307) 682-8596 IDD rents and sells Capstone microturbines for powering pumps to lift water from coal methane beds. Water is removed to expose buried natural gas (NG) resources. The mining locations are often remote sites not served by power lines. At such remote sites, microturbines on LP Gas are an attractive power source. The microturbines are fuelled with LP Gas stored in 1,000-gallon on-site storage tanks. The initial dewatering process can take from a few weeks to a few months. Once the NG reserves can be extracted and utilized, the microturbines’ fuel system is switched to NG directly supplied by the well. Natural Gas Wellhead – tall enclosure houses microturbine IDD put its first microturbine in service in December 1999. On average, there are about 20 units operating in the field. IDD has had up to 85 units operating at one time. All units are rated at 30 kW. Some sites have multiple microturbines operating in parallel. Currently, all the microturbines on LP Gas are operating on a rental basis. The three main propane suppliers to the wellhead locations are: Blakeman Propane, Big Horn Propane, and the local farmers’ cooperative. IDD personnel report that the LP Gas powered microturbines run exceptionally well as long as the system receives the required amount of gaseous LP Gas. 13PDF Image | Glotec Global Technology Network LP Gas Use in Microturbine Applications
