Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to research the feasibility of fabricating a combustor for a gas turbine that eliminates the production of NOx, SOx, CO, VOCs and particulates. Drive gas would be produced by combusting methane and pure oxygen. A subscale combustor will be tested.
Proposed Outcomes:
· Results of performance tests to include operation of the premix injector, ignition system and combustion stability.
· Analysis of emissions in drive gas produced during prototype testing.
· Feasibility assessment based on prototype performance testing.
Anticipated Benefits:
· Provide gas turbine electrical generation capability with zero pollution emissions.
· System would allow inexpensive capture of CO2 since the exhaust would be comprised of 90% water and 10% CO2 if full combustion of the O2 and methane is achieved.
