A method and system for monitoring the dew point of a fuel gas for a combustion turbine. A flow of fuel gas is filtered of particulate matter and liquid droplets in an aerosol interception and removal system. The pressure of the filtered fuel gas may be reduced at a pressure reduction station. The flow of fuel gas is analyzed by a dew point monitoring device that sends a signal to the heating system. The heating system may then adjust the temperature of the fuel gas flow within the permissible range necessary for operation of the combustion turbine. The filtered flow of fuel gas is then directed to a heating system where the temperature of the fuel gas is regulated. The flow of the heated flow of fuel gas may then be regulated at a flow metering station. The heated flow of fuel gas is then sent to a combustion turbine's combustion chamber.
