Tazman Turbinz’s Innovative In-Pipe Turbine Generator

Tazman Turbinz’s innovative In-Pipe Turbine Generator (IPTG) system provides electricity at isolated locations (e.g., gas well sites) lacking commercial power. It generates power using the flow of gas through the pipeline without fossil-fuel consumption or combustion and zero greenhouse gas emissions.

IPTG overcomes the drawbacks of intermittent renewable power sources including solar panels and wind turbines, as well as thermal-electric generators, diesel generators, and combustion turbine generators. It requires less maintenance, is resistant to damage, and burns no fuel which reduces its environmental footprint. The In-Pipe Turbine Generator is designed to generate power 24 hours a day and be maintenance-free for extended periods.

How It Works:

The IPTG is an electric generator contained in a two-foot section of six-inch stainless steel pipe. It is installed using industry-standard flanges. Feed piping may be flanged up or down to that size.

Magnetic flux generated by the rotation of magnets within the pipe produce electric current in coils mounted around the exterior of the pipe. The generator outputs through an umbilical cable to its control box that may be remotely mounted conveniently near the site batteries and SCADA system. 

Performance

The generator output may be monitored remotely through the existing site SCADA system or a dedicated monitoring system. An IPTG control cabinet includes rectifiers, an industrial computer, and a battery charge controller. The output voltage can be set to 12 VDC or 24VDC. The control cabinet also monitors IPTG performance and transmits the data to the operator. 

The IPTG is designed for the challenging conditions of remote natural gas wells. Admixtures of water, sand, ice, petroleum, hydrogen sulfide, or various particulates will not harm the IPTG. The IPTG is certified for hazardous location (Class I, Division 1).
