Procedure
Liquid Fuel Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the liquid fuel oil system. A well-thought-out fuel sampling
protocol will ensure that quality fuel is delivered to the engine.
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS
Fuels must conform to the attached GE specifications document Liquid Fuel Requirements for GE Aero-
Derivative (MID-TD-0000-2), attached at the end of this work package. Reference this documentation for
fuel gas specifics to ensure proper fuel is used.
GE Industrial Aero Derivative gas turbines have the ability to burn a wide range of gaseous fuels as
shown in the attached specifications document. These gases present a broad spectrum of properties due to
both active and inert components. This specification is designed to define guidelines that must be
followed in order to burn these fuels in an efficient, trouble-free manner, while protecting the gas turbine
and supporting hardware.
A. For each delivery, fuel samples should be taken and analyzed at the following locations:
B. For all fuel sampling, sufficient samples (a minimum of three) must be taken to assure that a
representative sample is obtained. Samples should be taken at different levels in large volume tanks
and at equally spaced time intervals during fuel delivery or fuel treatment.
C. Once fuel is treated/conditioned, samples should be taken and analyzed at both inlet and outlet of fuel
treatment system. Fuel exiting the system must meet fuel specifications. This should be confirmed
prior to placing the fuel into a clean-fuel day storage tank(s).
D. Fuel samples should also be taken at a practical location at, or just upstream of the gas turbine fuel
manifold flange. Fuel will be analyzed to ensure fuel discharged from the clean-fuel day storage
tank(s) meets GE specifications. If there is no sampling point downstream of the customer’s filtering
system, it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture a sampling point as near the package as possible.
Label and submit sample for analysis.
E. To avoid contamination, all samples should be obtained in clean plastic bottles. Fuel samples taken
should be analyzed to meet all GE liquid fuel requirements. If fuel samples taken after the above
recommendations have been implemented indicate that the fuel system does not provide fuel per the
requirements, the customer must change his fuel source or modify the fuel treatment system. The end
user is responsible for ensuring that the fuel meets the requirements.
Procedure
Fuel Gas Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the fuel gas system. A well-thought-out fuel sampling protocol will
ensure that quality fuel is delivered to the engine.
It is the end-user’s responsibility to ensure a good, clean fuel supply is available that meets all the GE
requirements for such fuel. Sample analysis reports will be provided to GE Representative and must meet
GE specifications
FUEL SPECIFICATIONS - See attached GE Document MID-TD-0000-1, Fuel Gases For Combustion
In Aero-Derivative Gas Turbines.
CONTAMINANTS
Dependent on type of fuel gas, geographical location and forwarding means there is potential for
“raw” gas supply to contain one or more of the following contaminants:
It is critical that fuel gas is properly conditioned prior to being utilized as gas turbine fuel. This
conditioning can be performed by a variety of methods. These include but are not limited to media
filtration, inertial separation, coalescing and fuel heating. Trace metal, particulate and liquid
contamination limits are given in the attached document. It is critical that fuel gas conditioning equipment
be designed and sized so that these limits are not exceeded. Following is a category of these
contaminants:
1. Particulate
2. Liquids
3. Sulfur
4. Hot Gas Path Corrosion
5. HRSG Corrosion
6. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Deposition
7. Exhaust Emissions
8. Elemental Sulfur Deposition
SAMPLING
Gas fuel samples should be taken at a practical location at, or just upstream of the gas turbine fuel
manifold flange, after filtration. Fuel will be analyzed to ensure fuel discharged from the filtering system
meets GE specifications. If no sampling point is available downstream of the customer’s filtering system,
it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture a sampling point as near the package as possible. Label and
submit sample for analysis. Sampling of the gas is the end-users responsibility.
Procedure
Wash Water Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the Wash Water used to provide water for washing and rinsing the
gas turbine. Samples will be taken prior to filling water wash tank. Attached to this document is GE’s
Compressor Cleaning Water Purity Specification for GE Aircraft Derivative Gas Turbines (MID-TD-
0000-4) specifications sheet. Reference this sheet when sampling water used for water washing.
SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
Sampling shall be in accordance with ASTM D1192 and ASTM D3370. A minimum sample of one (1)
gallon, or four (4) liters, shall be supplied. Samples should be taken at a practical location at, or just
upstream of the gas turbine wash water manifold flange. If no sampling point is available downstream of
the customer’s filtering/treatment system, it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture a sampling point as
near the package as possible. Label and submit sample for analysis. Analysis of the water sample will be
provided to GE Representative prior to water washing. Sampling is the responsibility of the end-user.
CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The water shall meet the following requirements when tested in accordance with the designated test
method.
FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS
The water shall contain no particles larger than 100 microns absolute.
Procedure
Water Injection Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the NOx Suppression Water used in gas turbine engines. NOx
suppression water is introduced into the engine combustor for the purpose of suppressing the oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) in the engine exhaust gases. Samples will be taken prior to initialization of the system.
Attached to this document is GE’s NOx Water Purity Specification for GE Aircraft Derivative Gas
Turbines (MID-TD-0000-3) specifications sheet. Reference this sheet when sampling water used for
NOx suppression.
SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
Sampling shall be in accordance with ASTM D3370. A minimum sample of one (1) gallon, or four (4)
liters, shall be supplied. Samples should be taken at a practical location at, or just upstream of the gas
turbine water injection manifold flange. If no sampling point is available downstream of the customer’s
filtering/treatment system, it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture a sampling point as near the
package as possible. Label and submit sample for analysis. Sampling is the responsibility of the end-user.
Analysis of the water sample will be provided to GE Representative prior to water washing.
CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The water shall meet the following requirements when tested in accordance with the designated test method.
FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Procedure
Spray Mist Evaporative Cooling Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the spray mist evaporative cooling (SMEC) system water used for
cooling incoming air to the gas turbine engines. SMEC water is introduced into the engine intakes for the
purpose of cooling the incoming air. The water must meet the GE PPLP Specification #289383 for
evaporative cooling system use. Samples will be taken prior to initialization of the system.
SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
Sampling shall be in accordance with ASTM D3370. A minimum sample of one (1) gallon, or four (4)
liters, shall be supplied. Samples should be taken at a practical location at, or just upstream of the gas
turbine SMEC manifold flange. If no sampling point is available downstream of the customer’s
filtering/treatment system, it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture a sampling point as near the
package as possible. Label and submit sample for analysis. Sampling is the responsibility of the end-
user. Analysis of the water sample will be provided to GE Representative prior to initialization of the
system.
CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The water shall meet the following requirements when tested in accordance with the designated test method.
FILTRATION REQUIREMENTS
Procedure
Steam Injection Sampling
These instructions are for sampling of the NOx steam injection system used in gas turbine engines. NOx
steam injection is introduced into the engine combustor through ports in the steam/gas fuel nozzle for the
purpose of suppressing the oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the engine exhaust gases. Steam samples will be
taken prior to initialization of the system.
All steam system piping, valves, purge lines, drains and blow-offs must be blown down before final
connection is made to the gas turbine.
Steam furnished by the customer must be superheated to avoid condensation in the turbine. Superheat
levels are shown below:
Steam purity is affected by the content of sodium and potassium, total solids and conductivity.
A. Sodium + Potassium
The amount of Na + K allowed in the steam injected depends upon Na + K contamination from other
sources including fuel, air and water. The maximum Na + K allowed is determined from the
equation:
Where:
By this equation, if there were zero Na + K in the air, fuel, and water, the maximum allowed in the
steam would be 200 PPB divided by S/F.
C. Total Solids
The maximum total solids is dependent upon the maximum steam to fuel ratio at which the engine
will operate. The value is determined from the chart below.
1200
1000
800
400
200
0
2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0
Maximum Steam to Fuel Weight Ratio
Calculate maximum steam to fuel ratio by dividing the total steam injection flow by the
PPH of fuel.
NOTE:
SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
Steam samples should be taken in accordance with ASTM 1066 procedures. Samples should be taken at a
practical location at, or just upstream of the gas turbine steam injection manifold flange. If no sampling
point is available downstream of the customer’s steam system, it is GE’s recommendation to manufacture
a sampling point as near the package as possible. Label and submit sample for analysis. The end-user is
responsible for sampling steam and reporting analysis results to GE Representative. Steam injection must
meet GE’s specifications.
