Design And Testing

The design and initial rig testing of an ultra-low NOx gas turbine combustor primary zone are described. A lean premixed, swirl-stabilized combustor was evaluated over a range of pressures up to 10.7 × 105 Pa (10.6 atm) using natural gas. The program goal of reducing NOx emissions to 10 ppm (at 15% O2) with coincident low CO emissions was achieved at all combustor pressure levels. Appropriate combustor loading for ultra-low NOx operation was determined through emissions sampling within the primary zone. The work described represents a first step in developing an advanced gas turbine combustion system that can yield ultra-low NOx levels without the need for water injection and selective catalytic reduction.

Cogeneration System

A gas turbine cogeneration system is described that offers fuel flexibility plus substantially reduced NOx emissions without water injection or selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The entirely new turbine design developed by TurboEnergy Systems permits boiler repowering and other cogeneration applications. The first application will be in the California heavy oilfields; the system will be retrofitted to an existing 50 million btu/hr oilfield steam generator used in thermally enhanced oil recovery. The turbine, rated at 1250 kw (site output), was sized to match the combustion air flow requirements of the steam generator. A reheated design was selected to maximize power output from the limited airflow available and to maximize the exhaust temperature for cogeneration and industrial process applications. The oilfield cogeneration system being developed includes a new heavy oil burner for the steam generator which will be fired on the high temperature exhaust from the turbine. The system will also provide low NOx emissions, below the tightest projected standards in Kern County, which has a large concentration of heavy oilfields. Both the turbine and the steam generator burner will burn heavy (API 13 gravity) crude oil. The paper describes the overall system, its interface with the existing process, the design techniques used, and presents performance projections. Field testing will begin at a site near Bakersfield, California, starting in early to mid-1987.

Combustion tests on over twelve types of coal derived liquid fuels from the EDS, H-coal, SRC-I and SRC-II processes and three shale oil fuels have been conducted in gas turbine type combustors. Emission measurements were made of Nox, smoke, CO, and unburned hydrocarbons. Combustor wall temperature profiles were measured. The results are correlated with the fuel properties-percent nitrogen, hydrogen and aromaticity. This part of the paper discusses the fuels used in subscale combustion tests along with the test results. A companion paper (Part II) describes the results of full-scale combustor tests and a long term corrosion/deposition test.

A low emission combustor, which uses a prevaporization-premixing lean combustion system for the 100 kW automotive ceramic gas turbine (CGT), has been subjected to performance tests. Now a second combustor prototype (PPL-2), which incorporates improvements intended to overcome a flashback problem observed in an initial combustor prototype (PPL-1), is tested. The PPL-2 has been designed and built, so that it will substantially expand the stable combustion range. The improvement is accomplished by increasing the air distribution ratio in the lean combustion region to avoid flashback, providing a uniform flow velocity through the throat area and also by diluting the boundary layer so as to suppress flashback. Test results of the PPL-2 combustor show that it expands the flashback limit without affecting the blow out limit and is able to cover the stable combustion range need for the 100kW CGT.

This paper describes the first test of an industrial gas turbine and low emissions combustion system on coal-water-slurry fuel. The engine and combustion system have been developed over the past five years as part of the Heat Engines program sponsored by the Morgantown Energy Technology Center of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The engine is a modified Allison 501-K industrial gas turbine designed to produce 3.5 MW of electrical power when burning natural gas or distillate fuel. Full load power output increases to approximately 4.9 MW when burning coal-water slurry as a result of additional turbine mass flow rate. The engine has been modified to accept an external staged combustion system developed specifically for burning coal and low quality ash-bearing fuels. Combustion staging permits the control of NOx from fuel-bound nitrogen while simultaneously controlling CO emissions. Water injection freezes molten ash in the quench zone located between the rich and lean zones. The dry ash is removed from the hot gas stream by two parallel cyclone separators. This paper describes the engine and combustor system modifications required for running on coal and presents the emissions and turbine performance data from the coal-water slurry testing. Included is a discussion of hot gas path ash deposition and planned future work that will support the commercialization of coal-fired gas turbines.

Gas Turbine Combustion

The continued development of a low swirl injector for ultra-low NOx gas turbine applications is described. An injector prototype for natural gas operation has been designed, fabricated and tested. The target application is an annular gas turbine combustion system requiring twelve injectors. High pressure rig test results for a single injector prototype are presented. On natural gas, ultra-low NOx emissions were achieved along with low CO. A turndown of approximately 100°F in flame temperature was possible before CO emissions increased significantly. Subsequently, a set of injectors was evaluated at atmospheric pressure using a production annular combustor. Rig testing again demonstrated the ultra-low NOx capability of the injectors on natural gas. An engine test of the injectors will be required to establish the transient performance of the combustion system and to assess any combustor pressure oscillation issues.

The first units of the Sequential Combustion System gas turbine family are in commercial operation. The first gas turbine GT24 (60Hz, 165MW-class) started the commercial operation, while the first GT26 (50Hz, 265MW-class) demonstrates its performance at the GT test facility. More engines are presently in the commissioning phase or will be in the near future. These turbines are designed to offer increased output at high GT efficiency. To acheive this, the sequential combustion system, a reheat process with two combustors, has been developed. Whereas the first combustor is based on the proven EV-combustor technology, extensive research and development efforts have been carried out in developing the lean premixed self-igniting second combustor (SEV). This paper is a follow-up of the ASME paper 96-GT-315, which described the basic research work concerning the lean premixing SEV-burners with self-ignition. The present paper reports the experience gained during commissioning of the first engines. The performance of the two combustors, as well as the measured emissions, are discussed and compared with the expected values and rig test results. Finally, the potential of the sequential combustion system to reach low NOx levels is demonstrated by unveiling the results of the extensive testing program during the commissioning phase.

A total of four combustion tests studying the response of various water/fuel emulsion rates on NOx emissions have been conducted on: (a) Paraho shale oil, (b) H-Coal© (372–522 K) distillate, (c) No. 2 oil doped with quinoline, (d) H-Coal© (505–616 K) distillate, utilizing a 0.14 m dia gas turbine can-type combustor at base-load conditions. Each test fuel run was proceeded with a base-line fuel run with No. 2 distillate oil. The results indicate that the effectiveness of water injection to reduce NOx decreased rapidly with an increase in the fuel-bound nitrogen (FBN) content of the test fuels. The smoke number, in general, decreased with increased water injection, while carbon monoxide and unburned hydrocarbons increased at high water/fuel flow rates.
