Fuel Nozzles for Gas Turbines

Woodward Greenville has extensive design and manufacturing expertise in gas, liquid, dual fuel, and water injection.

Woodward Greenville's engineers work closely with the industry and are involved in several government-initiated projects to develop more efficient, more reliable low-emission systems. Our new single and dual fuel injection devices are designed to meet the industry's most stringent industrial uses.

Being heavily involved in the design of state-of-the-art Dry Low NOx combustion systems on the leading industrial gas turbine programs, Woodward Greenville has built a distinct expertise in lean premix gas nozzle technology. This technology is an enabler for the next generations of dry low NOx and catalytic combustion systems.

Leveraging the newest technologies from the aircraft industry through ties with our Aircraft-focused facility in Zeeland, Michigan, Woodward Greenville provides the latest on liquid fuel nozzle technology for the industrial gas turbine market. Woodward's new Micro Spray technology is an enabler for liquid dry low NOx systems specifically for small industrial gas turbines.

As the world continues to seek clean, safe alternatives to coal and nuclear power, Woodward will provide the vision and the quality leadership to carry the industry through the new century.

Industrial Gas Turbine Product Line

Woodward Greenville has the expertise and production experience to design, build, repair, and overhaul to your strictist requirements.
