The work described in this paper is a part of the DOE/LeRC ''Advanced Conversion Technology Project (ACT). The program is a multiple contract effort with funding provided by the Department of Energy and Technical Program Management provided by NASA LeRC. The emphasis in this paper is the fuel flexible combustor technology developed under the ''Low NO/SUB x/ Heavy Fuel Combustor Concept Program'' for application to the Detroit Diesel Allison (DDA) Model 570-K industrial gas turbine engine. The technology, to achieve emission goals, emphasizes dry fuel-bound nitrogen (FBN), and control of NO/SUB x/ effected through a stated combustor with a rich initial combustion zone. A rich/quench/lean (RQL) variable geometry combustor utilizes the technology that is presented to achieve low NO/SUB x/ from alternate fuels containing FBN. The results focus on emissions and durability for multifuel operation.
