Operational Test of New Seal System for GNP's Waste Heat to Power Technology
EF 2020-21 · 2021-02-01
Résumé
GNP has developed the “EXPANDER-175” – a patented, 175 kW, modular, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) power generation system that recovers waste heat from natural gas field compressors. It is specifically designed for oilfield applications and has been sized to use the reject heat from the most common compressor engines.
This project will involve the design, build and commissioning of a test facility to enable the demonstration of unit performance, in particular:
1) confirm that the new 'dry' seal system works as desired, and
2) confirm how much power the EXPANDER system can generate.

Description (French)
GNP a conçu l'« EXPANDER-175 » - un système de production d'électricité modulaire breveté, de 175 kW, à cycle de Rankine organique (CRO) qui récupère la chaleur résiduelle des compresseurs des champs de gaz naturel. Il est spécialement conçu pour les applications pétrolières et a été dimensionné pour utiliser la chaleur rejetée par les moteurs de compresseurs les plus courants. Ce projet comprendra la conception, la construction et la mise en service d'une installation d'essai pour permettre la démonstration des performances de l'unité, en particulier : 1) confirmer que le nouveau système d'étanchéité sec fonctionne comme souhaité et 2) confirmer la quantité de puissance que le système EXPANDER peut produire.
