A total of 4 combustion tests studying the response of various water/fuel emulsion rates on NO/SUB/x emissions have been carried out on an oil shale, H-Coal distillate (372-522K), H-Coal distillate (505-616K) and No.2 oil doped with quinoline, utilising a 0.14 m diameter gas turbine can-type combustor at base-load conditions. The results indicated that the effectiveness of water injection to reduce NO/SUB/x decreased rapidly with an increase in the fuel-bound nitrogen content of the test fuels. The smoke number, in general, decreased with increased water injection, while CO and unburnt hydrocarbons increased at high water/fuel flow rates.
