Iran to produce power from gas pressure boosters
Iran has started the project of electricity generation from the exhaust system of gas turbines, with the aim of optimal use of existing resources along with increasing the efficiency of gas pressure boosting facilities.
Samad Rahimi, the manager of the gas pressure boosting facility project at the Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company, announced the above, adding that that there are about 80 gas pressure boosting facilities in Iran, most of which use four turbines, Shana reported.
“Currently, we see the waste of a large amount of thermal energy from the exhaust system of turbines in the facilities, which can be converted into electricity using new technologies,” he added.
The project will be undertaken using two technologies for different climates, Rahimi said, explaining that one technology is for facilities that have access to water, while the other technology is for stations that are located in regions with water shortages.
