System and method for bypassing carbon capture system of gas turbine engine

A system, comprising:

• a controller coupled to a bypass system having a first drive coupled to a first valve, wherein the controller is configured to operate the first drive to move the first valve between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position of the first valve opens a gas treatment flow path and closes a bypass flow path for an exhaust gas flow from a gas turbine engine, wherein the second position of the first valve closes the gas treatment flow path and opens the bypass flow path for the exhaust gas flow from the gas turbine engine, wherein the gas treatment flow path is configured to extend through a gas treatment system having a gas capture system, wherein the bypass flow path is configured to bypass the gas treatment system having the gas capture system.

A method, comprising:

• controlling a first drive to move a first valve of a bypass system to a first position to open a gas treatment flow path and close a bypass flow path for an exhaust gas flow from a gas turbine engine, wherein the gas treatment flow path is configured to extend through a gas treatment system having a gas capture system;
• and
• controlling the first drive to move the first valve of the bypass system to a second position to close the gas treatment flow path and open the bypass flow path for the exhaust gas flow from the gas turbine engine, wherein the bypass flow path is configured to bypass the gas treatment system having the gas capture system.
