GTI Developing Solutions. Delivering Results to the Manufacturing Sector

摘要

Gas Technology Institute (GTI) is addressing the need for clean (low-emission), efficient and reliable combustion systems through a wide-ranging research and development program conducted within its Energy Utilization Center. GTI has more than six decades of experience in developing and evaluating advanced combustion systems for use in residential, commercial, industrial and power generation markets. In this time of volatile energy prices, it is providing opportunities for energy-use markets to more flexibly address currently rising gas prices by using more efficient gas equipment already developed or under development. GTI researchers also are working to reduce the environmental impact associated with the use of such equipment. Most of GTI's combustion technology development is performed in its 11,000 ft~2 state-of-the-art Commercial/Industrial Combustion Laboratory in conjunction with leading manufacturers and end-users in competitively secured contracts from funding entities such as U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE; www.energy.gov), California Energy Commission (CEC; www.energy.ca.gov), and the natural gas industry. Typical projects involve bench-scale and pilot-scale development testing, followed by field demonstrations and technology transfer to commercialization partners through licensing arrangements,
