據油氣新聞6月15日消息，貝克休斯宣布完成了LM9000航改燃氣輪機的首臺發動機測試(FETT)。測試在該公司位于意大利佛羅倫薩和馬薩的先進渦輪機械測試工廠進行。

2018年12月，諾瓦泰克公司選擇貝克休斯公司為北極LNG 2號項目提供LM9000航改燃氣輪機。FETT的成功完成為諾瓦泰克的新LNG項目提供相同的渦輪機鋪平了道路。

測試的成功完成證明了LM9000是同類機型中功率最大、效率最高的航改燃氣輪機，簡單循環效率超過44%，功率輸出比業內同行高15%。這種效率是降低碳強度的關鍵，同時結合更低的氮氧化物排放(干燥條件下為15ppm，比競爭技術低40%)，是一種更環保的解決方案。LM9000的占地面積小和創新的模塊設計可實現快速簡便的維護，使其成為所有機械驅動和發電應用的首選燃氣輪機。

貝克休斯渦輪機械和過程解決方案執行副總裁Rod Christie表示：“這是我們創新的LM9000渦輪技術不斷發展的關鍵里程碑，也是按時交付北極 LNG 2號項目的重要一步，盡管面臨疫情的挑戰，Arctic LNG 2仍在按計劃進行。” “基于我們30多年來提供高效、可靠的液化天然氣技術的記錄，FETT的結果充分肯定了LM9000對于諸如北極LNG 2號這樣的全球主要LNG項目的靈活性，可靠性和適用性。”

諾瓦泰克液化天然氣項目主管Igor Chasnyk稱：“FETT結果證實了LM9000渦輪機是諾瓦泰克LNG項目的正確選擇。除了更好的技術規格，機器在環境性能方面也脫穎而出，這將真正有助于諾瓦泰克生產最綠色的液化天然氣的戰略”。

FETT的成功利用了貝克休斯的渦輪機械遠程測試能力，克服病毒疫情對旅行的限制。來自不同地點的80多名專家被遠程連接，進行了全速和滿載測試。此外，諸如智能眼鏡和頭盔之類的遠程見證技術使世界各地擴展的團隊可以實時無縫地共享在Massa中執行的機器檢查和虛擬測試。

貝克休斯的北極LNG 2號項目的總體工作范圍包括提供用于發電的渦輪機械設備和三條基于重力結構(GBS)的液化生產線，這些生產線每年將生產660萬噸液化天然氣，總產量為1980萬噸/年。

Baker Hughes Meets Key Performance Milestone for Novatek’s Arctic LNG 2 Project

Baker Hughes announced the completion of the First Engine to Test (FETT) for the LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbine. The test took place at the company’s advanced turbomachinery testing facilities in Florence and Massa, Italy.

In December 2018, NOVATEK selected Baker Hughes for the supply of LM9000 aeroderivative gas turbines for the Arctic LNG 2 Project. The successful FETT completion paves the way for the supply of the same turbines for NOVATEK's new LNG projects.

The successful test completion confirms the LM9000 as the most powerful and most efficient aeroderivative gas turbine in its class with simple cycle efficiency in excess of 44% and a power output 15% higher compared to industry peers. This efficiency is key to driving lower carbon intensity and combined with lower NOx emissions (15 ppm in dry condition, 40% lower than competing technology) makes for a more environmentally sensitive solution. A small footprint and innovative module design for fast and easy maintenance make the LM9000 the gas turbine of choice for all mechanical drive and power generation applications.

“This is a crucial milestone for the ongoing development of our innovative LM9000 turbine technology and an important step forward in the on time delivery of Arctic LNG 2, which continues to be on track despite COVID-19 challenges,” said Rod Christie, executive vice president, Turbomachinery & Process Solutions, Baker Hughes. “Building on our 30-year-plus track record of delivering highly efficient and reliable LNG technology, the FETT results are a strong recognition of the LM9000’s flexibility, reliability and suitability for major LNG projects around the world such as Arctic LNG 2.”

"The FETT results confirm the LM9000 turbine is the right choice for NOVATEK's LNG projects. In addition to better technical specifications, the machines also stand out in terms of environmental performance that will truly contribute to NOVATEK's strategy of producing the greenest LNG," said Igor Chasnyk, director for LNG projects, NOVATEK.

The successful FETT leveraged Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery remote testing capabilities to overcome travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19. More than 80 experts from various locations were connected remotely to perform the Full Speed and Full Load test. In addition, remote witness technology, such as smart glasses and helmets, enabled real-time and seamless sharing of machine inspections and virtual testing performed in Massa with the extended teams around the world.

Baker Hughes’ overall scope of work for Arctic LNG 2 includes the supply of turbomachinery equipment for power generation and three liquefaction trains on gravity-based structures (GBS) that will produce 6.6 million tons of LNG per annum each, for a total production of 19.8 MTPA.
