The Market

Stationary gas turbines can be broadly classified into Industrial & Marine, Aero-derivative and Frame designs, and in recent years, micro and mini-turbines. All variations include combustors and fuel requirements of some description.

A gas turbine combustor is comprised of two interdependent components:

• Fuel injectors or “nozzles”
• Combustor liners or “cans”

The cans are positioned in the gas turbine in three configurations:

• Annular
• Can-annular
• Single can only

The number of fuel injectors for each “can” configuration varies depending on the specific “can” design and preference of the gas turbine OEM. Typically, OEMs maintain the same combustor configuration throughout their product line.

The purpose of the fuel injector is to mix the liquid or gas fuel with the air required to support combustion, prior to entering the combustor can, and to provide a stable flame holding capability.

Ramgen intends is to provide “drop-in” Dry Low Emissions (DLE) combustor systems for both new and existing units to improve operability and durability, reduced costs and add fuel flexibility in addition to offering lower emissions.

Ramgen’s strategy is to offer its technology in the form of a component sale for the gas turbine applications and retain control over the proprietary AVC hardware manufacturing, supply and replacement.

Industrial Gas Turbine

The Industrial & Marine Gas Turbines class of equipment is generally considered to be <25 MWe, and is suitable for both mechanical drive and electric power generation.

Ramgen has completed two phases of technology development at the simulated industrial gas turbine combustor conditions of 10-18 atm (comparable to gas turbine pressure ratio). The work to date has been funded by both federal and state government agencies.
