ABSTRACT:
A flowline power generator especially adapted for use on a conduit or flowline carrying petroleum or hydrocarbon products is disclosed. A valve body incorporated in the flowline redirects at least a portion of the fluid flowing through the flowline into engagement with a turbine used to drive an electrical generator. A gate valve is provided for bypassing the turbine to permit all of the flow in the conduit to bypass the power generator. In the bypass configuration, the power generator can be repaired or completely removed. The valve body can be incorporated into the well with no power generator attached, and power generators can be subsequently installed at prescribed locations along the conduit.
