| Reasons for a Fuel Oil Treatment System

Why to install a fuel oil treatment system with Westfalia Separator centrifuges? Reasons To minimize the risk of hot temperature corrosion Increase the life time of the turbine bl d blades Reduce the content of sediments drastically y Latest approved centrifugal technology with our OSD-Type Corrosion on a turbine blade Customer Benefit: Reduction of Lifecycle Cost of the Gas Turbine

| Reasons for a Fuel Oil Treatment System

The lifetime of turbine blades is depending on the sodium and potassium content in the fuel

Lifetime of turbine blades Mean lifetime of the blades: 8 - 12 years Replacement of blades depending on size of turbine costs several million Euro

As temperatures increased due to demands for more efficiency, it was found that the requirements of Sodium and Potassium levels in the fuel must be reduce to smaller 1 to 0,1 ppm !!!
