FAQs

How does wet compression affect emissions?

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

How can I determine if my turbine is a good candidate?

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.

Can it be added to an existing MeeFog system?

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.

Does wet compression affect turbine lifespan?

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

What kind of power boost can I expect?

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.

How does wet compression improve turbine performance?

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.

What is gas turbine wet compression?

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.

What sort of guarantee or warranty does MeeFog provide for its pre‑cooling systems?

We guarantee the amount of cooling a system will produce on a hot day. MeeFog systems have a 12-month warranty. Longer warranty terms are available on request.

Can the pre-cooling system be used under all weather conditions, including high heat or very humid days?

MeeFog pre-cooling systems can be used whenever the temperature is above freezing. It is usually possible to cool by at least 10°F (5.5°C) even on humid afternoons in a tropical climate.
