32 MW Power Boost On a Siemens Westinghouse W501FC
Gas Turbine Wet CompressionA power station in Mexico installed two MeeFog systems on a Siemens Westinghouse W501FC gas turbine. These systems provide fog evaporative cooling and wet compression. The skids have six pumps and twenty-four stages of fogging. They produce a 32 MW power boost total, demonstrating the efficiency and performance benefits of MeeFog technology.
