Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS THE MAIN REASONS WHICH HAVE INDUCED THE SONATRACH GL1.Z PLANT TO CONSIDER, AS FAR AS OVERCOMING THE MAIN BOTTLENECK -WHICH IS VAPOUR -IS CONCERNED, THE POSSIBLE UTILIZATION OF GAS TURBINES INSTEAD OF STEAM TURBINES, SINCE A STEAM DEFICIT HAS BEEN OBSERVED DURING PLANT OPERATION.
