Good day Lumbersawyer.......May I ask what make of Prime movers your plant used to drive the Generators?
In last three years of my 40 year carrier with a Natural Gas Pipeline Company, we installed 5 Meg Turbines at several of the Natural Gas Compressor stations.
The waste heat from the Exhaust stack from the 25,000 HP General Electric LM2500 Gas Turbine (Air Craft derivative CF8) was directed into a boiler. The boiler Tubes were filed with a synthetic oil that assumed the heat from the turbines.
The heat carrying medium from the boilers flowed through heat exchangers. This heat was transferred to PENTANE. The pentane flashed off into a vapour and drove a Reactive Turbine attached to the Electrical Generator.
Once the cycles, voltage, etc,etc, were parallel with the public power Grid the main breakers would lock in
5 Megs. is very small compared to most industrial generating plants.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
