NIOC Chief Hails National Gas Turbine

TEHRAN June 01(Shana)--The head of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) has praised the domestic manufacturing of gas turbine.

“Indigenization of gas turbine could be viewed as a bridge between the petroleum industry and the pride of qualified manufacturers,” Rokneddin Javadi said.

He was speaking at a ceremony organized for unveiling TMC-52 gas turbine.

“The manufacturing of this turbine heralds our capability to domestically manufacture most equipment for the upstream oil industry,” Javadi said.

The turbine has been manufactured by Middle East Turbine Machine Company.

A gas turbine, also called a combustion turbine, is a type of internal combustion engine. It has an upstream rotating compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in between.

The basic operation of the gas turbine is similar to that of the steam power plant except that air is used instead of water.

Fresh atmospheric air flows through a compressor that brings it to higher pressure.
