Project Description:
The purpose of this project is to research the feasibility of developing an ultra-low NOx catalytic pilot burner for advanced industrial dry low NOx gas turbines. A prototype pilot burner will be fabricated and tested.
Proposed Outcomes:
· Full scale prototype of the low NOx catalytic pilot burner.
· Feasibility assessment based on prototype performance testing in Taurus 60 combustor test rig.
Anticipated Benefits:
· Reduce NOx emissions from dry low NOx gas turbines from 25 ppm to below 9 ppm and reduce CO emissions to less than 5 ppm.
· Provide cost effective alternative to expensive after treatment NOx reduction technologies.
· Designed for retrofit market and new turbine construction which increases its potential impact on California emissions.
