ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for operating a gas turbine system are disclosed utilizing an adiabatic combustion process, employing combustion of a pre-mixed carbonaceous fuel-air admixture in a combustion zone. The combustion and the combustion zone are maintained at an approximately constant temperature by selective control of the fuel-to-air ratio over a period of turbine operation during which the fuel demand or the combustion air temperature varies. Such combustion is conducted in the presence of an oxidation catalyst and the combustion zone including the catalyst is maintained at an approximately constant temperature. In a mode of operation which is preferred when conditions permit, such temperature is substantially above the instantaneous auto-ignition temperature of the fuel-air admixture but below a temperature that would result in any substantial formation of oxides of nitrogen. The resulting effluent is characterized by high thermal energy useful for generating power and may be low in atmospheric pollutants, including oxides of nitrogen.
