Project Description:
Proposes to research the feasibility of a duct burner design for gas turbine combined cycle systems that divides the flame into several zones thereby allowing better control of flame stability, CO emissions and NOx emissions.
Proposed Outcomes:
§ A prototype duct burner that achieves 2ppmvd NOx and 6ppm CO at 15% O2.
§ Feasibility analysis based on performance of prototype system and economic evaluation.
Anticipated Benefits:
§
Potential to reduce the cost of power from gas turbine
combined cycle systems by reducing or eliminating the need for expensive post
combustion NOx controls. Potential to
reduce the cost of NOx removal by 90% relative to SCR technology.
§
Estimate potential savings of $29 Mil/year from GTCCs
and an additional $63 Mil/year if used in combined heat and power (CHP) system.
