Combustion, Fuels and Emissions for Industrial Gas Turbines
Abstract
It is important that gas turbines used in Oil & Gas applications
can burn a wide variety of fuels with the minimum impact on
the environment or economics.
Many types of gaseous and liquid fuels that can be used in Gas
Turbines are discussed, as will be the two basic types of
combustion system employed – ‘conventional’ and ‘Dry Low
Emissions’ – along with the flexibility of these systems to
accept different types of fuel. Some of the common
contaminants found in fuels are discussed along with the impact
these have on the operability and maintenance of industrial and
aero-derivative gas turbines.
