Description:
The reports describe an exploratory development program to identify, evaluate, and demonstrate dry techniques for significantly reducing NOx from stationary gas turbine engines. Volume 4 describes an additional series of tests to evaluate the performance of the combustor on heavy fuels such as petroleum or shale residual oil and solvent refined coal (SRC). Results from the tests show that all exhaust emission goals were met while burning three test fuels: a middle-cut distillate SRC, a residual shale oil, and an Indonesian/Malaysian residual oil. It was also demonstrated that the exhaust emission goals were met when operating a RB/QQ combustor at a high turbine inlet temperature (1426 C design) firing No. 2 fuel oil.
