The gas turbine power generation equipment at the Kanto Mill Hokuetsu Kishu Paper Co., Ltd. has needed to improve its profitability to address the changes in the external environment. We examined optimum operating conditions of the gas turbine and have achieved a great efficiency improvement by controlling the input flow of high pressure steam.
In this paper, we further introduce examples of installing the intake air cooling equipment and other cost improvements for lowering the energy consumption toward a temperature rise during summer seasons.
