Abstract:
The invention relates to a thermal power plant with sequential combustion and reduced CO2 emissions, said plant having the following components that are connected in series by at least one flow channel (S): a combustion intake air compressor unit (1), a first combustion chamber (2), a high-pressure turbine stage (3), a second combustion chamber (4), in addition to a low-pressure turbine stage (5). The second combustion chamber (4) and/or the low-pressure turbine stage (5) can be supplied with a cooling gas stream for cooling purposes. The invention also relates to a method for operating a thermal power plant of this type. The invention is characterised in that the plant is equipped with a recirculation conduit (6), which feeds at least part of the exhaust gas stream that emerges from the low-pressure turbine stage (5) to a compressor unit (7), a cooling conduit (8), which feeds at least part of the compressed exhaust gas stream that emerges from the compressor unit (7) to the second combustion chamber (4) and/or the low-pressure turbine stage (5) for cooling purposes and a CO2 separation unit (9) that is located in the cooling conduit (8) and that separates at least portions of CO2 from the cooling gas stream.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a burner arrangement for a combustion chamber (12) in addition to an associated combustion chamber (12), in particular a gas turbine combustion chamber or a steam generator combustion chamber, comprising a plurality of burners (8), which are equipped for the combustion of fuel which contains carbon by supplying pure oxygen, which is effective as an oxidation agent. The aim of the invention is to obtain a burner arrangement which has a particularly high energetic degree of efficiency and particularly low residue emissions and at the same time maintains the construction and operation thereof simple and economical and reverts to suitable fuelling concepts. Also, the acceptable material temperatures of the encircling walls (6) surrounding the combustion chamber (12) must not be exceeded. The inventive first burner (8) is embodied in such a manner that the ratio (?), per time unit, of the amount of oxygen guided therein, in normal operation, for the stochiometrically required amount of oxygen is greater than for a second burner (8) which is arranged downstream from the direction of the flow of flue gas (14).
Abstract:
A method of cleansing nitrogen oxide (NOx), hydrocarbon (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) from waste gases, such as the waste gases or exhaust gases originating from burners and internal combustion engines. The waste gases, or exhaust gases, are passed through a catalyst for catalytic cleansing of the gases. The air-fuel ratio, or the lambda value (L), is reduced to a level below L=1. The gases are passed through a first catalyst and then through a second catalyst, to bring the CO-content of the gas in the first catalyst to a sufficiently high level and to reduce NOx to N2 to an extent such as to bring the NOx content down to a predetermined level. Sufficient oxygen (O2) is delivered to the gases at a point between the first and second catalysts to oxidize both CO and HC to CO2 and H2O to such an extent as to reduce the CO-content of the gas to a predetermined level. A gas burner to carry out the method is also disclosed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable operation with reduced CO emissions.SOLUTION: A gas turbine combustion system includes a gas turbine. The gas turbine includes: at least one compressor; at least one combustion chamber for generating working gas, which is connected to receive compressed air from the compressor; and at least one turbine connected to receive working gas from the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber consists of a single can-combustor or comprises a plurality of individual or interdependent can-combustors arranged in an annular can-architecture. The can-combustor has at least one premixed burner. The ignition of a mixture starts at the premixed burner outlet and the flame is stabilized in the region of the premixed burner outlet by means of a backflow zone. The can-combustor comprises a plurality of premixed burners arranged uniformly or is divided in at least two groups within the can-combustor.
