Abstract
The present techniques are directed to systems and a method for combusting a fuel in a gas turbine. An exemplary method includes providing a fuel to a combustor on a gas turbine, providing an oxidant to the combustor, and combusting the fuel and the oxidant in the combustor to produce an exhaust gas. At least a portion of the exhaust gas is passed through a water-gas shifting catalyst to form a low CO content product gas.
Claims45
A method for combusting a fuel in a gas turbine, comprising:
- providing a fuel to a combustor on a gas turbine;
- providing an oxidant to the combustor;
- combusting the fuel and the oxidant in the combustor to produce an exhaust gas;
- and
- passing at least a portion of the exhaust gas through a water-gas shifting catalyst to form a low CO content product gas.
2 more elements
A gas turbine system, comprising:
- an oxidant system;
- a fuel system;
- a control system;
- a combustor adapted to receive and combust an oxidant from the oxidant system and a fuel from the fuel system to produce an exhaust gas;
- and
- a catalyst unit comprising a water gas shifting (WGS) catalyst configured to reduce the concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas to form a low CO content product gas.
3 more elements
A heat recovery unit, comprising:
- a heat exchanger configured to remove heat energy from an exhaust gas;
- and
- a water gas shifting (WGS) catalyst bed configured to reduce a concentration of a target gas in the exhaust gas.
