GE Vernova has announced that it has successfully modernised Sasol’s Secunda power plant in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The modernisation included replacement of the existing pre-combustor system with a new DLN1+ combustor with a Fuel Gas Module (FGM) skid to increase the efficiency of the two installed 9E gas turbines and reduce carbon emissions.

The upgrade resulted in significant improvements, including:

• Reduction of NOx emissions to significantly below 25 ppm, a reduction of 75 per cent from previous level.
• Reduction of water usage through use of DLN technology.
• An improvement in efficiency.
• Extension of the intervals between required maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
