OpFlex™ Wide Wobbe

Burn fuel of greater compositional variation

With rising demand for natural gas and growth in LNG imports, the frequency and magnitude of variations in fuel composition and heating values are expected to increase. GE Energy’s OpFlex Wide Wobbe product is designed to address the operating challenges introduced by the increased fuel variability by eliminating the need to retune the combustor manually within +/-5% Modified Wobbe Index variation.

Model-Based Control (MBC) technology allows the control system to adapt to varying operating conditions in real time, simultaneously helping to protect lean blow-out margin, maintaining emissions, and optimize performance.

Benefits

  • Supports continuous, reliable operation of the unit with up to +/-5% variation in Modified Wobbe Index
  • Eliminates the need for combustion re-tuning due to fuel composition variations
  • Helps reduce combustion dynamics events
  • Helps reduce NOx and CO emissions excursions
  • Provides MBC technology foundation for future operability enhancements

Applicable to GE 7FA+e (PG7241) gas turbines with DLN2.6 combustors, Mark™ Ve or Mark™ VI control system and GE Continuous Dynamics Monitoring (CDM).
