Post# of 63795
I've got no beans to spill...just some hard #'s that PP can now disect...

Manufacturer Pratt & Whitney Model FT8
Primary Fuel Natural gas, 1018 Btu/scf
Back-up Fuel CARB diesel, 128000 Btu/gal
Fuel Consumption 0.28 MMscf/hr / 2200 gal/hr
Exhaust Flow 195 lb/sec
Gas Turbine Heat Input 282 MMBtu/hr (HHV)
Gas Turbine Output, ISO 27.7 MW
Net Plant Heat Rate, LHV 9190 Btu/kW-hr
Net Plant Heat Rate, HHV 10300 Btu/kW-hr


Now I will conjecture on how this pertains to USSE..

1st thing , I notice ... is the BTU/gal for the backup fuel...makes me go... HMMMMM

The 2nd thing is that it runs on Natural gas ( as a primary) with the gas BTU being 1018

What i cant recall...is "what is the BTU of the USSE biogas"...that also makes me go....HMMMM


If I happen to be P&W, and I just found a new fuel source (to satisfy both inputs) via the USSE product/process, I would be beating down their door too!
