Efficient Plant Operations: The GT Startup Process<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our plant follows a precise startup process for our Gas Turbine (GT) to ensure efficient operations. Here\u2019s a simplified overview of the steps involved:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
  • Lube, Lift, and Hydraulic Systems: We initiate these systems to prepare the GT, allowing for even heating and shaft stretching.<\/li>
  • Startup Frequency Converter (SFC) Preparation: The SFC gradually increases the shaft\u2019s speed from 100rpm, ensuring a smooth start.<\/li>
  • Natural Gas Introduction: We introduce natural gas into the combustion chamber through gas valves and ignite it using spark plugs.<\/li>
  • Self-Sustaining Speed and Control System Engagement: The GT\u2019s speed ramps up to a self-sustaining level. The control system disengages the SFC and engages the Static Excitation Equipment (SEE) for synchronization.<\/li>
  • Synchronization with the Grid: Once the GT reaches the desired speed, the generator circuit breaker closes, connecting the generator to the grid.<\/li><\/ul>

    Our streamlined startup process ensures efficient and reliable operations, powering the grid with clean energy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Our primary raw material is natural gas, with a methane content of over 90%. We source our supply from Heirs Energies Limited (HEL) and transport it through the Obigbo-Afam pipeline network operated by the Nigerian Gas Infrastructure Company (NGIC).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Our strategic arrangement allows us to efficiently fuel our power plants, particularly Afam Three Fast Power and Afam IV & V. HEL supplies the gas to NGIC at a pressure exceeding 40 bar, ensuring network stabilisation. From the shared manifold at NGIC Afam, we receive a nominal supply to our plants at a pressure above 20 bar.
    We leverage this robust supply chain, ensuring a consistent and reliable source of natural gas, enabling us to generate power efficiently and sustainably.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
