Development of a catalytic combustor for small gas turbines

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6282350
To reduce NO/sub x/ emissions significantly, a catalytic combustor was developed. Full scale tests of catalytic combustors designed for application in Kawasaki S1A-02 type gas turbines were conducted. The combustor consisted of a pre-combustion zone, a premixing zone, a catalytic combustion zone, and a variable geometry dilution zone. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) was burned in combustor rig tests and results indicated low NO/sub x/ emissions and high combustion efficiencies over a wide range of air/fuel ratios and that the catalytic combustor can be applied to the engine tests.
