Integrated method to measure the on-site efficiency of a Synthetic Oil Mist Separator (SOMS) employed as an auxiliary system for an aeroderivative gas turbine
Abstract Auxiliary systems like the Synthetic Oil Mist Separator (SOMS) are used as an essential service to gas turbines. They are designed mainly to restrict aerosol emissions to the atmosphere. Aerosols emissions from gas turbines are composed of small oil particles of varying sizes, ranging from 1nm to 1,000 nm. For this application, the aerosol …
