Wet Compression Boosts Power Output by 24 MW
Gas Turbine Wet Compression
Three MeeFog wet compression systems were installed in 2023 on three 7EA gas turbines. Wet compression consists of spraying water into the gas turbine compressor. The water evaporates inside the compressor giving an inter-cooling effect that reduces the work of compression, which causes an increase in power output. Each wet compression system provides an 8 MW power boost resulting in a 24 MW power boost for the plant.
