The emission characteristics of uncontrolled stationary diesel, spark ignition, and gas turbine engines are reviewed, and the applicability of automotive emission control technology to stationary engines are analyzed. Nitrogen oxides are the principal pollutant species emitted from these engines. Other pollutants include hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, smoke, particulates, sulfur oxides, aldehydes, odor, and noise. The emission control techniques developed for these engines are applicable to stationary engines. These techniques include: engine derating; fuel injection and ignition timing retard; exhaust gas recirculation; catalytic converters; water injection; and engine component and operating conditions modifications. The emission reductions achieved with these techniques are accompanied by sizeable losses in specific fuel consumption and uncertainties relative to the effect of these techniques on engine life and control system durability.
