Abstract
A plant (100) includes a gas turbine (110) that receives a feed gas (130), wherein a metal plates from a metal carbonyl contained in the feed gas onto a sacrificial metal (152A) in an adsorber (150A), and wherein the feed gas in the adsorber has a temperature sufficient for plating the metal onto the sacrificial metal.
Claims7
A method of reducing a metal carbonyl concentration in a feed gas for a gas turbine, comprising:
- providing a feed gas that includes a metal carbonyl;
- heating the feed gas upstream of the adsorber to a temperature of about 270° C. to about 330° C.;
- contacting the feed gas in an adsorber with a sacrificial metal at a temperature sufficient to plate a metal from the metal carbonyl onto the sacrificial metal, thereby producing a purified feed gas;
- and
- providing the purified feed gas to a gas turbine.
