New Technology for America's Electric Power Industry. Emissions reduction in gas turbines

摘要

Argonne National Laboratory is examining alternatives to straight natural gas firing. Research has shown that the addition of certain catalytic agents, such as in hydrogen co-firing, shows promise. When hydrogen co-firing is used in tandem with steam injection, a decrease in both CO and NO(sub x) emissions has been observed. In-process hydrogen production and premixing with the natural gas fuel are also being explored.
