🏭H-100 Gas Turbine & Low NOx Combustion System Receives Full Mechanical Drive Qualification by Shell
Tokyo, March 12, 2018 – The industry leading 119.9MW H-100 gas turbine, packaged for mechanical drive applications under the partnership of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, Ltd. (MHPS) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation (MCO) has achieved full qualification status by Shell’s Technical team based in The Hague.
In August 2017, MHPS embarked on a rigorous testing regime to validate the mechanical drive performance of their 2-shaft 119.9MW H-100 Gas Turbine equipped with their low NOx (single digit ppm) combustion system. After successful completion of testing protocol and a detailed technical review by their qualification team, Shell announced their official qualification of the MHPS gas turbine on December 22, 2017. This followed Shell’s earlier qualification of the MHPS 107.65MW H-100 gas turbine in 2015. Shell has already qualified Mitsubishi Compressors by Enterprise Frame Agreement effective in 2011, clearing the way for MHPS and MCO to supply all components for future Shell LNG compression systems.
