ABSTRACT:
A catalytic combustor comprises a pilot zone having means to introduce fuel therein; upstream of said pilot zone and communicating therewith a catalytically supported thermal combustion zone comprising a plurality of catalytically supported thermal combustion sections each comprising a solid oxidation catalyst, means for introducing air into said section and means to introduce fuel into said section; and means to control the rate of fuel flow in each of the means to introduce fuel into a catalytically supported thermal combustion section and the means to introduce fuel into the pilot zone. The combustor is operated by staging the fuel supply in order to maximize the amount of combustion in the catalytically supported thermal combustion zone and minimize NOx emissions under all load conditions.
