Design Features of Steam Turbines for Use in the Sugar Industry
Steam turbines employed in the sugar industry require high thermodynamic efficiency and absolute reliability. The AEG-KANIS Steam Turbine Company, situated in Nuremberg, West Germany, and for many years a supplier to the South African industry, developed such turbines based on 30 years of experience with turbines for all industrial purposes. A special feature of these typical turbines used for ...
متن کاملCogeneration for the Cane Sugar Industry
Steam injection for power and efficiency augmentation in aeroderivative gas turbines has been commercially established for natural gas-fired cogeneration since 1980. Steam-injected gas turbines fired with coal and biomass are being developed. A performance and economic assessment of biomass integratedgasifier steam-injected gas turbine (BIGISTIG) cogeneration systems is carried out here. A deta...
متن کاملMedium Voltage Drives in the Sugar Industry
This paper first outlines the benefits of Medium Voltage Variable Frequency Drives (MV-VFD) compared to classical drivers or control methods (i.e. steam/gas turbines, hydraulic coupling and Direct-On-Line operation with, for example, valve/damper control). The paper then focuses on typical variable frequency drive applications in the sugar industry and also describes two real cases, namely a MV...

The commissioning of a control system can give fresh insight into the operating characteristics of the driven machinery and thus provide both supplier and user with essential data on the desired control specification for the turbine driver. It can also provide a better understanding of the interaction of the power characteristics of driver and driven machines and the capabilities of the steam t...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Integrated Structure of CHP and Heavy Hydrocarbons Liquids Using Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
Recent developments in gas-to-liquid conversion industry lead to reduction in initial investment, and it is expected by growth in demand for refined products in countries and the need to import these products in the countries. Implementing such projects can prevent currency outflow. In this article an integrated structure is developed for producing liquid fuels from natural gas through Fischer-...
