Drying of the brick lining and trial operation of the gas turbine

The next decisive steps have been taken: the cold commissioning of the gas turbine was completed on Friday. The turbine successfully completed its first revolutions (5,000 rpm) with the starter motor. The collaboration with partner Dresser Rand is also working perfectly.

At the same time, the gasifier was successfully fired up to dry the fireclay lining in the individual system components. The fireclay lining was slowly dried out over the past week. Pyrolysis gas is used to raise the combustion chamber temperature to 800 °C. Around 85 tons of fireclay were thus dried over the weekend.Today, the hot commissioning of the turbine will start and numerous test runs will follow to test the system.
