1. GENERAL
1.1 Scope
This General Specification defines requirements and gives recommendations for gas
turbines, based on “Gas Turbines for the Petroleum, Chemical, and Gas Industry Services”
API Standard 616, 5th edition.
This Specification amends and supplements various clauses of API 616. Furthermore, it
summarizes (highlights) some important clauses of API 616.
With respect to API 616, paragraphs are marked as follows:
clause added to API 616;
clause that modifies API 616;
y clause that makes a decision, as required by API 616;
9 clause that summarizes the corresponding API 616 clause.
When input by Company is required for the specific Project, it is marked as follows: (Í).
by the Manufacturer for power optimized operation. This load setting reduces the life of
the hot gas path parts.
“ISO-rated power” is the shaft power developed at 15 °C ambient temperature, 1013.25
mbar atmospheric pressure and 60% relative humidity, with zero inlet and exhaust
pressure losses.
“Gas turbine-generator required power” is the net power output (at generator terminals)
that is required of the gas turbine-generator package in a power generation application.
This power is specified by the Company.
“Driven equipment required power” is the maximum power required by the driven
equipment (compressor or pump) in a mechanical drive application.
“Site rated power” is the shaft power developed by the gas turbine when it is operated
in a new and unfouled condition, at site conditions of air inlet temperature, air inlet
pressure, exhaust back pressure, reference fuel composition and with a base load
setting. The rated power satisfies the specified margin over the gas turbine-generator
required power – in case of power generation application – or the driven equipment
required power – in case of mechanical drive. The site rated power is the gas turbine
net power output (after subtracting the gas turbine auxiliaries loads from the gross
power output). The rated power is specified by the Manufacturer.
9 “Potential maximum power” is the expected power capability when the gas turbine is
operated at maximum allowable firing temperature, rated speed or under other limiting
conditions as defined by the Manufacturer and within the range of specified site values.

For each check point the Contractor shall indicate:
o Applicable Procedures;
o Acceptance criteria;
o Attendance of Parties (as per MOD.MEC.TUR.101).
Reference is made to Section 9 “Inspections and Tests” below.
6. BASIC DESIGN
6.1 General
Contractor shall not propose prototypes or modified gas turbine models.
y The output-shaft operating speed range of gas turbine units for mechanical-drive
applications shall be as specified on the datasheets. Where only one operating speed
is specified for an application, the speed range for single-shaft machines shall be 25%
(from 80% to 105% of rated speed), and the speed range for two or more shaft
machines shall be 55% (from 50% to 105% of rated speed).
Gas turbine units shall be designed for continuous service at each point of the specified
speed range and power range including potential maximum power. The Manufacturer
shall define the period between major overhauls when operating on reference gas fuel,
at base load.
9 The gas turbine design shall accommodate transient thermal gradients following
tripouts and shall permit immediate restarting subject to the driven equipment
restrictions. Gas turbine cold-start and hot-start restrictions shall be defined in the
proposal. The Company shall agree with the Manufacturer on consequences if the
restrictions must be exceeded.
y The equipment, including all auxiliaries, shall be suitable for operation under the
environmental conditions specified by the Company in the data sheets (Í). These
conditions shall include whether the installation is indoors (heated or unheated) or
outdoors (with or without a roof), maximum and minimum temperatures, unusual
humidity, and dusty or corrosive conditions. The unit and its auxiliaries shall be suitable
for shipment and installation under the specified conditions.
Industrial gas turbines (also known as heavy duty) shall be the preferred choice over
aeroderivative gas turbines for installations where mass and available space are not
limited. Also if the gas turbine fuel is a crude oil, residual fuel oil, very lean gas, refinery
mix gas or a gas that is subject to variations of the Wobbe Index of more than 10%,
then industrial gas turbines shall be selected. Aeroderivatives may be used for peaking
units in power generation.
eni spa 03774.MAC.MEC.FUN
Rev. 2 Sep-2013
exploration & production division
Sh. 17 of 43
For mechanical drive applications with large speed variations (70% to 100%), a gas
generator with power turbine configuration should be the preferred choice. For power
generation, a single-shaft industrial gas turbine should be selected, due to the
frequency stability granted by its greater inertia, its simplicity and easier maintainability
A single-shaft gas turbine with a variable speed drive for mechanical drive applications
should not be the first choice.
6.3 Performance
The Company required power at site conditions shall be attained with a base load
setting. The peak load setting shall not be considered to meet the power requirement.
Power-augmentation solutions, such as evaporative cooling, adsorption chilling, fogging
or water injection, should not be employed to meet the Company required power, due
to their operation and maintenance complexity, their requirement for water treatment
facilities and their water consumption.
The gas turbine shall be designed to provide site-rated power with no negative
tolerance in the new and unfouled condition. The gas turbine rating shall be based on
Manufacturer's actual experience.
For mechanical drive applications, the gas turbine shall be selected to have, at site
conditions and in the new and unfouled condition, a shaft power output at base load of
at least 110% of the driven equipment demand, inclusive of the load gear, if present,
and considering inlet and outlet systems losses. This power margin takes into account
the unrecoverable gas turbine losses (aging and compressor fouling) and the driven
equipment power margin.
For power generation applications, the gas turbine generator package shall be selected
to have, at site conditions and in the new and unfouled condition, a net output (at
generator terminals) at base load of at least 105% of the Company required power.
This power margin takes into account the unrecoverable gas turbine losses (aging and
compressor fouling).
eni spa 03774.MAC.MEC.FUN
Rev. 2 Sep-2013
exploration & production division
Sh. 18 of 43
For power generation applications, the Contractor shall provide in the proposal the gas
turbine operational restrictions as to:
o the maximum positive/negative load step;
o the maximum positive/negative load gradient.
For mechanical drive applications, Company shall make available to the Contractor all
expected operating points because the maximum torque required from the gas turbine
driver will not necessarily be at maximum power or speed.(Í)
proposal the speeds below the operation range corresponding to such blade
resonances.
6.7 Dynamics
9 Resonances of structural support systems that are within the Contractor’s scope of
supply and that affect the rotor vibration amplitude shall not occur within the specified
operating speed range or the specified separation margins.
9 The Contractor shall communicate the existence of any undesirable running speeds in
the range from zero to trip speed. A list of all undesirable speeds from zero to trip shall
be submitted to the Company for its review and included in the instruction manual.
y The effects of other equipment in the train shall be included in the damped unbalanced
response analysis (that is, a train lateral analysis shall be performed). In particular, this
analysis should be considered for machinery trains with rigid couplings.
y For gas turbine-driven units, the Contractor shall ensure that a torsional vibration
analysis of the complete coupled train is carried out and shall be responsible for
directing any modifications necessary to meet the requirements of clauses 4.7.3.1
through 4.7.3.6 of API 616.
9 The torsional natural frequencies of the complete train shall be at least 10% above or
10% below any possible excitation frequency within the specified operating speed
range (from minimum to maximum continuous speed).
9 In addition to the torsional analyses required in clauses 4.7.3.2 through 4.7.3.5 of API
616, the Manufacturer shall perform a transient torsional vibration analysis for turbine
driven trains containing generators or helper/start motors, using a time-transient
analysis. The requirements of clauses 4.7.3.6.1 through 4.7.3.6.3 of API 616 shall be
followed.
High-speed balancing shall not be performed, due to the fact that rotors that require
high speed balancing to achieve vibration limits during test will likely require field
balancing.
9 The vibration criteria provided in ISO 7919-4 and ISO 10816-4 apply to industrial gas
turbine sets used in electrical and mechanical drive applications per API 616 covering
the power range above 1 MW and a speed range under load between 3000 RPM and
25000 RPM. Aeroderivative gas turbines (including gas turbines with dynamic
properties similar to those of aeroderivatives but not free power turbines) are excluded
from this vibration criteria.
On gas turbines for power generation, the gas turbine design should ensure the
absence of turbine-generator torsional modes of vibration close to 60Hz and 120Hz, or
50Hz and 100Hz, for 60Hz and 50Hz transmission systems respectively, to avoid
torsional interaction with the electrical transmission system due to network switching
and other events (e.g. faults, line switching, load rejection etc.).
On gas turbines for power generation, an analysis to identify potential torsional
subsynchronous resonance (SSR) conditions shall be undertaken by the Contractor
when the power plant is connected to a series capacitor-compensated transmission
system. Due to physical and economical limitations, components exposed to these
conditions cannot be manufactured to withstand such torsional stress at resonance
conditions. Protective and/or preventive measures must therefore be employed to limit
the SSR effects. Protective measures, like protection relays, and preventive measures
like static filter, active filter or excitation system damper shall be agreed between the
Company and the Contractor.
On gas turbines for power generation, an analysis to identify potential device
dependent subsynchronous oscillations (DDSO) shall be undertaken by the Contractor
when fast acting control loops are present on large power electronic devices such as
high-voltage dc (HVDC) converter stations or on GTG’s themselves. This phenomenon
is due to control interactions and is not a resonance phenomenon. Thus the solution is

6.10 Materials
Materials of construction shall be as per Manufacturer’s standard, provided that they
are suitable for the gas composition and operating and site environmental conditions
specified by the Company.
9 If the Company has specified, in MOD.MEC.TUR.001, the presence of hydrogen sulfide
in any fluid (Í), materials exposed to that fluid shall be selected in accordance with the
requirements of NACE MR0175.
Material selection for auxiliary equipment, piping and instrumentation shall be in
accordance with API Std 616, Company requirements set in MOD.MEC.TUR.001 (Í)
and suitable for the service and the site environmental conditions.
The Contractor shall specify within the bid all proposed materials, including
interconnecting pipework, and instrumentation.
The final material selection shall be subject to the Company approval.
All materials used shall be new and shall meet the requirements of the applicable
Codes and fabrication Standards.
Construction materials shall be identified according to ASTM-DIN Standard. Proprietary
or non-standard identification of materials shall be complemented by standard
identification.
Grey cast iron shall not be used.
Asbestos shall not be used in any part of the package.
Stainless steel shall be used for the lube and control oil piping.
7. ACCESSORIES
7.1 Starting and Helper Driver
A gas turbine may use for starting:
o a starting driver, disengaging once self-sustaining speed is reached, or
o a helper driver, that remains coupled during operation to provide supplementary
shaft power, or
o the electrical generator as a motor, in power applications, thus dispensing with a
dedicated starting driver.
Starting electrical motors shall comply with Company Specification
20167.EQP.ELE.FUN “Asynchronous Motors”.
eni spa 03774.MAC.MEC.FUN
Rev. 2 Sep-2013
exploration & production division
Sh. 22 of 43

9 The Contractor shall supply any clutches, speed-changing gears, torque converters, or
other power transmission equipment, including controls required or specified for the
starting and helper drivers. Gears in continuous service shall be in accordance with API
613 and gears in intermittent service shall be in accordance with API 677.
9 Starting drivers and their associated power transmission equipment shall be sized for
acceleration of the gas turbine unit and for either extended operation at purge or
compressor cleaning cycles. Any starting driver not suitable for operation at speeds
corresponding to turbine trip speed shall disengage automatically and shut down at its
maximum allowable speed or trip speed, as applicable. Failure of the starting driver to
disengage or re-engagement during operation shall automatically shutdown the turbine.
y As a minimum, the driver shall be rated to supply 110% of the starting and acceleration
torque required by the gas turbine (and the driven equipment train for single-shaft
machines) throughout the specified ambient temperature range.
y A turning gear and/or ratchet device shall be furnished, if required to avoid rotor
deformation after a trip-out. For single-shaft turbines, the turning gear shall be sized to
turn the entire train.
Manually initiated turning of rotors shall also be possible for maintenance and alignment
checks.
The starting driver gear shall comply with API 613 and the helping driver gear with API
677.
7.4 Baseplate
The gas turbine and its auxiliaries shall be supported by a single steel baseplate,
included in the supply, whose stiffness shall be sufficient to safeguard the train
alignment and functionality.
The Contractor shall submit drawings and calculations of the proposed baseplate
design for Company approval, before commencement of fabrication.
The baseplate shall be designed to meet allowable stress and deflection considering
transportation, lifting and operating loads.
eni spa 03774.MAC.MEC.FUN
Rev. 2 Sep-2013
exploration & production division
Sh. 23 of 43
Floor plates shall have drain holes (min 16mm dia) at low points to prevent the
accumulation of rainwater.
Anchor bolts for all equipment shall be supplied by the Contractor and they shall be
selected according to the site and operating conditions.
Equipment mounting pads shall be machined flat and parallel after welding to baseplate
supports. To prevent distortion, the machining of mounting pads shall be deferred until
welding on the support base in close proximity to the mounting pads has been
completed.
The baseplate shall have vertical jacking screws along the main longitudinal members
with maximum intervals not exceeding 1500 mm. Anchor bolts holes shall be located in
the same reinforced area as the jacking screws.
The baseplate shall be equipped with pad-type lifting eyes to accommodate a four point
lift so that the complete package, including all equipments and accessories, can be
lifted with a single hook.
Vertical lift should be assumed for the design of the pad-eyes.
All shims, sole-plates and leveling screws shall be included in the supply.
The protection system shall be SIL3 fail-safe (de-energized to trip) type, to minimize the
number of trips that reduce the gas turbine availability and life.
The protection system shall implement as a minimum the following functions:
o speed monitoring;
o vibration monitoring (bearing housing and shaft);
o axial displacement monitoring;
o gas path temperature monitoring (turbine outlet temperature);

The GTCPS shall be synchronized with the plant DCS through a clock signal.
The GTCPS shall allow:
o automatic acceptance of load;
o regulation of speed or load in response to a signal from the central control room.
A selector switch shall located in the GT electrical cabin to:
o allow the GT to be started only from the GT electrical cabin;
o allow the GT to be started only from the central control room.
The control system shall limit the turbine inlet temperature to the maximum allowable
temperature, the latter being constant regardless of the ambient temperature.
9 Control systems shall allow a purge period of sufficient duration to permit the
displacement of the volume of the entire exhaust system (including the stack).
9 Governor systems shall prevent the gas turbine from tripping on overspeed when an
instantaneous loss of electric, hydraulic, or aerodynamic load occurs. A safe, controlled
shutdown may occur in the event of hydraulic or load loss for safety reasons.
9 The Contractor shall provide an integrated sensing, alarm, shutdown, and display
system for conditions that could result in damage to the gas turbine unit or could
shorten the life of the unit. Starting equipment shall be interlocked to prevent rotation of
the unit until conditions are safe for starting.
9 A shutdown may be normal or an emergency. Sequences for either shall be automatic.
o Normal shutdown shall follow an orderly, safe, step-by-step procedure based on the
requirements of the specific machinery and applications.
o Emergency shutdown may be manually activated or may occur as a result of the
operation of a protective device. The system shall cause the fuel shutoff valve to cut
off the fuel supply and shall limit speed to the trip value. Where practical, means
shall be provided to prevent restarting before corrective action has taken place.
o Consideration shall be given to the relationship between turbine controls and driven
equipment. Unless otherwise specified, automatic means shall be provided for
isolating, upon shutdown, the driven equipment from the system that it is supplying in
order to prevent motoring or reverse flow. Operation of venting systems, for the
release of stored energy, may also be necessary.
9 An overspeed trip protection shall operate at 105% of maximum continuous speed for
mechanical drive applications. Generator drive applications can have an overspeed trip
setting lower than 105% of maximum continuous speed. Multiple-shaft turbines shall
have individual overspeed trip protection for each shaft.

o a fire has been detected within the gas turbine fire protection area; or
o where risk assessment indicates that the cause of the trip may cause damage or
failure of the pipe between the valves and the gas turbine package, or damage to the
equipment on the gas turbine package, either leading to the uncontrolled lealso
known asge of fuel.
9 Where, due to the toxicity of the gas or where adequate dispersion cannot be assured
or where environmental considerations prohibit venting to atmosphere, the gas vents
may be piped to a low-pressure flare stack < 50 kPa, and additional precautions to
prevent gas entering the gas turbine shall be implemented.
9 Gas distribution piping and tubing shall be 316L stainless steel.
y An automatic shut-off valve shall be located outside the gas turbine package to
automatically isolate the fuel supply to the gas turbine in the event of a dangerous
situation. The shut-off valve is in the BOP scope and not in the gas turbine package
scope. Where risk assessment indicates there is the potential for loss of containment
from high-speed rotating equipment that could cause damage to the valves or rupture
of the fuel supply pipe to the gas turbine, the shut off valve(s) outside the gas turbine
package and the supply pipe to the valves shall be located outside the zone where
hazardous projectiles may occur from a potential failure of rotating equipment to ensure
fuel shutoff can be achieved. Where the gas turbine package is located in a building the
risk assessment shall consider if the valve shall be located outside the building to
provide additional isolation. The valve shall be operated automatically on a gas turbine
trip if:
o a fire has been detected within the gas turbine fire protection area; or
o where risk assessment indicates that the cause of the trip may cause damage or
failure of the pipe between the valves and the gas turbine package, or damage to the
equipment on the gas turbine package, either leading to the uncontrolled lealso
known asge of fuel.
9 Where forward and reverse purge/drain sequences are used during start-up, operation,
or shutdown, risk assessment shall be carried out taking into account all reasonably
foreseeable risks.
7.12.4 DUAL FUEL SYSTEMS
y If specified by the Company (Í), the gas turbine shall be provided with the necessary
equipment to permit normal (starting and continuous) operation on either of the fuels,
i.e., liquid/gas, liquid/liquid, or gas/gas. The dual fuel system shall provide the capability
of automatic transfer from either fuel source to the other fuel source while under full or
part load operation.
9 The dual fuel system shall provide smooth, bidirectional fuel transfer without shutdown
or interruption of load-carrying ability.
9 When operating on gas fuel, the liquid fuel lines, nozzles, manifolds, etc., shall be
automatically purged continuously to prevent plugging and coking.
9 It shall not be possible under any condition for the reverse flow of fuel to occur into any
other system where this may lead to danger. Where this may occur, additional safety
devices shall be fitted to prevent reverse flow. Appropriate precautions shall be taken to
ensure that liquid fuels cannot enter the gas fuel system where gas fuel is used to
purge the liquid fuel burners. Where only a single fuel can be fired at any one time,
interlocks shall be provided to ensure that the standby fuel system cannot operate or is
isolated. Where more than one fuel can be fired at any one time, it shall be assured that
excess energy input due to overfuelling cannot occur in the gas turbine.
7.12.5 EMISSION SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
If required to meet the local regulations, the combustion emission suppression system
shall be shall be proposed by the Contractor and approved by the Company with the

defined during the detail engineering phase.
The Contractor shall reference the Project equipment and instrumentation tag numbers
in its technical documentation. The Company will provide the tag numbers during the
detail engineering phase.
9 Acceptance of shop tests does not constitute a waiver of requirements to meet field
performance under specified operations conditions, nor does inspection relieve the
Contractor of his responsibilities.
9.2 Inspections
y The Inspection & Test Plan shall be agreed between the Company and the Contractor
as to the type and extent of inspections and tests to be carried out on the supply. The
Company shall specify the type of inspections and the Company attendance in
MOD.MEC.TUR.101 “Gas Turbine Inspection & Test Data Sheets (IDS)”.(Í)
9 Positive material identification (PMI) test methods are intended to identify alloy

Sh. 38 of 43
In the event that the gas turbine fails during the test, the Contractor shall perform a root
cause fault analysis (RCFA) and solve the problem. The test can fail maximum twice –
the third session being successful or the reliability shall be considered insufficient.
When selecting the inlet air filter system, the Contractor should take into consideration
the amount of salt depending on the wind speed and direction and the elevation of the
gas turbine.
The inlet air filtration system should be a low velocity type, comprising mist eliminators,
pre-filter/coalescer and high-efficiency filter - pulse-air self-cleaning filters should not be
used. Alternatively, a high velocity bag-filter may be employed, consisting of weather
hood or weather louver, high-efficiency bag filter and vane separator.
13.5.2 ENCLOSURE
The enclosure shall be provided with a heating, air conditioning and ventilation
systems.
The design of the enclosure ventilation system shall consider a “cold soak” condition,
with the unit not operating and determine what components will require heating and to
what level to be able to start the unit. During operation, which components will continue
to require heating, how much radiated heat is available from the compressor, lube
system and driver.
The design of the control system of the enclosure ventilation shall allow for alteration of
the sequencing of operations due to the temperature and length of the lines involved.
Enclosure inlet ducting or any intake plenum abutting a heated space shall be
insulated.
For stand-by units, the enclosure ambient temperature may be required by Company to
be maintained notwithstanding the outdoor conditions (Î).
Provision shall be made for start-up from a “cold soak” condition by:
o selecting a suitable lube oil
o sizing the oil tank heater;
o pre-lubing or circulation of oil through the gas turbine;
Because of the 24-hour winter darkness, ample lighting shall be provided inside the
enclosure.
In the enclosure, sufficient room for personnel wearing bulky outer winter clothing to
move around equipment shall be provided. The enclosure shall also be equipped with a
vestibule with space to stow cold weather outer clothing.
13.5.3 OIL COOLER
The oil cooler, sized for full load operation at the highest summer ambient, shall be by-
passed in cold ambient temperatures. Care shall be taken in the system design so that
when the oil temperature rises to normal operating level a sudden oil by-pass shutoff is
prevented.
13.5.4 INLET AIR SYSTEM
When selecting the inlet air filter system, the Contractor should take into consideration
the ice build-up due to the ingestion of snow or freezing rain, or to the depression of
cool humid air in the inlet system. Other hazards to be avoided are ice ingestion and air
intake obstruction.
The inlet air filter system should comprise:
o Snow hoods
o High efficiency filter, pulse-air self-cleaning type
o Anti-icing system (re-circulated exhaust air or compressor bleed)
13.5.5 FUEL SYSTEM
Hazards of using low temperature gas fuel shall be taken into consideration when
selecting the components of the fuel system.
