Utilization and Mitigation of VAM/CMM Emissions by a Catalytic Combustion Gas Turbine

摘要

A system configured with a catalytic combustion gas turbine generator unit is introduced. The system has been developed using technologies produced by Kawasaki Heavy Industries,Ltd.,such as small gas turbines,recuperators and catalytic combustors,and catalytic oxidation units which use exhaust heat from gas turbines. The system combusts (oxidizes) ventilation air methane (less than 1% concentration) and low concentration coal mine methane (30% concentration or less) discharged as waste from coal mines. Thus,it can not only reduce the consumption of high-quality fuel for power generation,but also mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
