Gas Turbine Fuel Additive

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for the use of TC200A an oilsoluble ultrahigh alkali magnesium additive specifically designed to inhibit vanadium in ashforming crude and residual fuels for gas turbines TC200A additive is a turbinequality oilsoluble organomagnesium fuel additive prepared by reacting high purity magnesium compounds with carboxylic acid It possesses excellent physical and chemical properties and is proprietary in its formulation The additive can be easily dissolved in heavy fuel oil in any proportion The primary function of TC200A additive is to supply available MgO which reacts with V2O5 present in heavy fuel oil forming a highmeltingpoint vanadium magnesium compound through chemical combination This compound effectively inhibits vanadium corrosion and results in the formation of dispersed ash that is carried away with the turbine exhaust gas The recommended dosage of TC200A additive in heavy fuel oil is around 3 to 35 MgV3 to 35 or as per the instructions provided by the gas turbine manufacturer When calculating the additive dosage the nickel content in the heavy fuel oil must be considered along with vanadium TC200A additive is manufactured in strict accordance with GE standard GEK28150B It exhibits stability to hydrolysis is oilsoluble nonvolatile and harmless The additive is suitable for use in heavyduty gas turbines employed in industrial marine and utility applications Additive Type Oil Soluble and oil spersed Magnesium content 20 Physical appearance Brown or black viscous liquid Density 120125gml 20 Viscosity 60mm2s 40 Flash Point 65 Pour Point 20 NaK 50mgKg Ca 500mgKg Pb 5mgKg V 5mgKg
