3.1 Stationary Gas Turbines
4/00 Stationary Internal Combustion Stationary Gas General1 Gas Turbines , also called combustion Turbines , are used in a broad scope of applicationsincluding electric power generation, cogeneration, natural gas transmission, and various processapplications. Gas Turbines are available with power outputs ranging in size from 300 horsepower (hp) toover 268,000 hp, with an average size of 40,200 The primary fuels used in gas Turbines are naturalgas and distillate (No. 2) fuel Process Description1,2A gas turbine is an internal combustion engine that operates with rotary rather than reciprocatingmotion.
The primary pollutants from gas turbine engines are nitrogen oxides (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO), and to a lesser extent, volatile organic compounds (VOC). Particulate matter (PM) is also a primary pollutant for gas turbines using liquid fuels. Nitrogen oxide formation is strongly dependent on the high temperatures developed in the combustor.
