Steam turbines Kenya

Kenya is ranked the world’s eighth-largest producer of geothermal energy and the first in Africa.
Kenya has a large manufacturing sector serving both the local market and exports to the East African region.
Steam is a must-have utility in many industries. Yet, while the basics of steam engineering are common, each industry places its own demands on a system. 

Industry in Kenya is dominated by food-processing industries such as grain milling, beer production, and sugarcane crushing, Distillery, etc.

All these industries consume a lot of steam and thus steam turbine as a power source for the individual company becomes the most viable and economical source of power.

Most of the milling and food processing industries use saturated boilers while beer producers and Distillery uses superheated boilers. Both have the potential to run a steam turbine without hindering their process.
They can put a steam turbine parallel to their PRS or PRDS and convert the pressure energy to electricity.

Turtle Turbines provides the solution of power-generating steam turbines for both saturated and superheated boilers. These steam turbines precisely control the steam pressure while generating power.

Applications of Steam Turbine in Pulp and Paper Industry

High-pressure steam is used in steam turbines to produce electricity for the paper industry.
The installation of a steam turbine is the best option to generate captive power for pulp and paper plant manufacturers.

Steam turbines are proving themselves very effective in the pulp and paper industry. They provide process heat and power. In the pulp and paper industry inlet, steam conditions are typically between 12 (barg) dry and saturated and 63 (barg) 480(°C). The steam is fed to the steam turbine to generate power.
The exhaust steam is used for heating, such as drying paper, evaporation, heat for chemical reactions, or distillation. The steam turbine develops the appropriate balance between power and steam to maximize the potential of the co-generation process, thereby minimize the impact on the environment. The best alternative for the manufacturers is to build their own captive power plants that will run in cogeneration mode.

With the help of a steam turbine paper manufacturers can produce the steam pressure as per production requirements. Pulp and Paper mills plants use rolls that are internally heated with steam. Steam turbine maintains a uniform steam temperature across the surface of the roll. Hence it improves the quality of the product. Since steam is a gas, it fills the entire volume of the roll and evenly distributes heat as it condenses.

Steam turbine for carbon black industry

The black carbon industry is a very energy-intensive industry.
Carbon black is produced with the thermal decomposition method or the partial combustion method using hydrocarbons such as oil or natural gas as raw material.
The characteristics of carbon black vary depending on the manufacturing process, and therefore carbon black is classified by manufacturing process.
The furnace black process uses heavy aromatic oils as feedstock. The production furnace uses a closed reactor to atomize the feedstock oil under carefully controlled conditions (primarily temperature and pressure). The primary feedstock is introduced into a hot gas stream (achieved by burning a secondary feedstock, e.g., natural gas or oil) where it vaporizes and then pyrolyzes in the vapor phase to form microscopic carbon particles. In most furnace reactors, the reaction rate is controlled by steam or water sprays. Residual gas, or tail gas, from a furnace reactor, includes a variety of gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
These residual gases contain a huge amount of heat in them, thus to achieve the highest process efficiency it is advisable to conserve this energy. Installing the waste heat recovery system along with the steam turbine in Carbon black industry meets the power & steam requirements of the plant. These residual gases are burnt to produce the steam which runs the turbine to generate power.
Carbon black industries need steam turbines for Drive applications and Power generation. Steam turbines may use to power the fan in the carbon black-producing furnace. also condensing steam turbines can be used specifically to generate power through a waste heat recovery system.
Turtle turbines have a variety of steam turbines to match the power needs of the carbon black industry.

Benefits of Digitalized Asset Management for Steam Turbine

Digitalization is the phenomenon of the digital transformation of societies, businesses, and
industries and the improvement of value chain processes through digital solutions. It
should not be confused with digitization which is the process of converting information into a digital format. Digitalization is not a new concept, but the lowered costs of sensing, actuating, networking, and computing have enabled novel ways of implementing digital
solutions and services.
Digitalization is bringing about substantial cost savings, increased efficiency and flexibility across different industries, and transforming business models. Digital solutions, such as remote diagnostic services and machine learning, enabled by free-flowing data between smart connected things are anticipated to help cope with diminishing resources. However, while sensor and networking technologies have improved and cheapened simultaneously, and data has proved its worth as a valuable resource, the reality especially in the energy and process industry is that plants are still very siloed systems.
Steam Turbines are expensive and delicate systems operating in extreme conditions, so the sensor and automated maintenance capabilities are limited. Furthermore, most of the research covering the digitalization of turbines, i.e. remote monitoring and diagnostics, optimization, and digitalized maintenance solutions, focuses on Steam Turbines and
Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP). These systems have different setups, face different challenges, and serve different use cases compared to Steam Turbines plants, and hence also their value chain and digitalization opportunities differ.
The objective is to map the benefits of digitalized asset management for Steam Turbines. This is done by first detailing problems, challenges, and needs in Steam Turbines asset management that the experts in related subfields have identified both recently and throughout the years of plant operation.
Turtle Turbines have analyzed and addressed the need for digitalization in Steam Turbines. With our Turbo Vision system, we offer an Advanced Remote Monitoring System, 24×7 Health and Performance Monitoring, OEM Screens for Turtle Turbines, and Online instant Messaging for support and advice.

Steam turbines for Solar power plants.

Solar thermal power is becoming one of the most popular for generating power. The reasons for this are obvious: The sun is an inexhaustible source of power production. And it is not only a free fuel source but also a completely emissions-free source. Steam turbine generator converts solar energy into electricity and allows the optimum use of every solar beam incident

Principle of operation: Mirrors concentrate the incident solar radiation onto a receiver where it is converted into heat that is used to produce steam to drive a steam turbine. Heat storage systems like molten salt tanks provide power supply even during unfavorable weather conditions or at night. They significantly increase the number of full-load operation hours with optimal steam turbine efficiency

Solar plants require steam turbines that are optimized for their complex and challenging cycle conditions.

Day and night cycle often requires a large number of starts and fast daily startup capabilities from steam turbines. When focusing on annual power production, the short start-up times of the turbines are of great benefit to the concentrated solar plants.

Depending on the amount of sunlight, they may run at full or partial load, or at night idle. This means that the steam turbines must handle daily starts and stops and are thus exposed to substantial stresses. So it is essential that the turbines are especially well suited for use in solar-thermal power plants and that they are designed to start and stop quickly.

“The faster the plant can power up, the sooner it can generate power,” Every additional minute of production yields additional income and makes the power plant more cost-effective,”.

Turtle turbines have the capability for designing and developing such quick start turbines for such demanding conditions of Solar power plants.

Grid Synchronization System in Steam Turbine Generator

In a Steam Turbine Generator synchronization is the process of matching parameters such as voltage, frequency, phase angle, phase sequence, and waveform of the alternator or another source with a running power system. This is done before the generator is reconnected to the power system. Once a generator is synchronized with the parameters of the bus bar, the system can run smoothly.

Generator synchronization to a power system must be conducted carefully to prevent damage to the unit, as well as the power system itself. When synchronizing a generator to a power system, the frequency and voltage of the generator must match closely. The rotor angle and the instantaneous power system phase angle must be closed prior to closing the generator breaker and connecting the isolated generator to a power system.

In the majority of cases for generator synchronization, the synchronization process is automated via an automatic synchronizer with manual control capabilities that can be used in backup situations.

When back-pressure steam turbines are run Synchronised with the grid, various benefits emerge. One being the back pressure of the steam turbine can be controlled very accurately. Another very important benefit is the Steam Turbine runs in flow control mode which means the amount of steam passing through the turbine determines the power generated and the balance of power is automatically drawn from the Grid. This makes the Steam Turbine a true replacement for Pressure Reducing Valves with the benefits of Green and Free Power.

Turtle Turbines have installed many turbine units with the grid synchronization option which are running smoothly across different types of industries.
