Meeting the Needs of Industry
print this page
With the recent initiatives for cleaner sources of energy, a large number of Natural Gas Fired Power Plants are being constructed. While these  
  facilities are being commissioned, LEHDER provides required services such as Gas Turbine Tuning and Performance Guarantee Testing.

Gas Turbine Tuning
Gas Turbine Tuning optimizes the performance of the gas turbine unit. Concentrations of O2, CO and NOX are measured while the turbine owner fine tunes the operating parameters in order to optimize the turbine performance.

LEHDER provides real time instantaneous O2, CO and NOX

Performance Guarantee Testing
Performance guarantee tests are typically required to demonstrate contractual performance requirements are met between the equipment manufacturers and source owners of natural gas power plants. Compliance tests to meet the facility Certificate of Approval requirements may also be required.

Typical test parameters include:
Combustion Gases (O2, CO2, CO, NOX)
Total Hydrocarbons (THC)
PM10 Particulate
Ammonia Slip (if using ammonia injection)
Volumetric Flow Rate to Determine Emission Rates

LEHDER typically uses US EPA Methods to complete the performance guarantee tests. Test Protocols are submitted to the equipment manufacturers and source owners to ensure all testing is conducted using approved methodologies.
