and a metering skid 18 linked together by one or more sections of a fuel line 20 or fuel pipe in some cases the fuel line 20 between the supply skid 16 and the metering skid 18 can be seventy feet or more in length the industrial turbine can be one of a variety of turbines commercially available in the industry such as for example the lms 100 u2122 high efficiency gas turbine manufactured by ge power systems of houston tex the industrial turbine 12 is supplied or fed with a fuel 22 that is stored in the supply tank 14 and transported through the fuel line 20 the fuel 22 that powers the industrial turbine 12 is preferably a liquid fuel such as for example diesel fuel jet fuel kerosene a gaseous fuel and the like as known in the art the supply skid 16 includes among other things a pump 24 for pressurizing and pushing the fuel 22 through the fuel line 20 a filter 26 for removing contaminants from the fuel and a shut off valve 28 the metering skid 18 includes among other things metering equipment 30 e g sensors monitors and a shut off valve 32 one or more relief valves such as relief valves 34 36 are adapted to relieve pressure within the fuel line 20 and can be incorporated into the turbine system 10 in a variety of different locations now that an environment in which the invention may operate has been described details of the invention shall be articulated as illustrated in fig2 an apparatus 38 for eliminating and or mitigating transient pressure spikes in a positive fluid system such as the turbine system.
