FAQs

No, MeeFog wet compression systems are designed for minimal maintenance due to high-quality materials and a simple design.

Consumption varies by turbine size and configuration but usually equals 1%–2.5% of the air mass flow.

By improving efficiency, it reduces both NOx and CO2 emissions per kW of power produced.

A turbine is likely a very good candidate for wet compression if it operates in conditions above 45°F and has a high pressure ratio. For a customized power recovery analysis of your specific site and turbine, please contact the Mee Industries expert team.

Yes, many facilities upgrade their existing MeeFog inlet cooling system to include wet compression for additional output, like the Eagle Point Power Generation (EPPG) facility in Westville.

When correctly implemented, wet compression in a gas turbine operates safely without shortening equipment life.

Injecting a 2% air mass flow as wet compression spray will boost gas turbine output by as much as 10%. The power increase is greater for turbines with a higher pressure ratio.

It reduces compressor work, freeing more shaft power for useful output, and cools the compressor discharge so additional fuel can be burned and further increasing turbine power.

Wet compression is a gas turbine power augmentation method that injects atomized water (fog) into the compressor. The fog evaporates giving an intercooling effect, which reduces the work of compression and increases available power, further boosted by allowing more fuel to be burned due to cooler discharge air.
