Patent number: 9423125Abstract: The present invention relates to a burner for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant. The burner includes a lance for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. A shaft of the lance has at least one nozzle for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. A main injection direction of the respective nozzle is oriented onto a portion of a burner wall. An introduction device for a diverting fluid is provided, which is designed for introducing a diverting fluid counteracting an impingement of the fuel flow on the burner wall.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2009Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBHInventors: Richard Carroni, Madhavan Narasimhan Poyyapakkam, Michal Bialkowski, Mark Andrew Willetts

Patent number: 9097426Abstract: A lance is presented for introducing fuel into a second burner of a combustion chamber of a gas turbine installation with sequential combustion, having a first and a second combustion chamber. The lance includes a foot and a shank which projects from it. In an installed state of the lance the foot extends perpendicularly or at an angle to a main flow direction of the burner. The shank extends centrally in the burner and generally parallel to the main flow direction. At least one projecting arm, having at least one nozzle for introducing fuel, is arranged such that it extends from the shank. A respective end of the at least one arm is oriented in the main flow direction and extends generally parallel to the main flow direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2009Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: ALSTOM TECHNOLOGY LTDInventors: Ernest Geoffrey Engelbrecht, Anurag Jhalani, Bettina Paikert, Richard Carroni, Michal Bialkowski, Madhavan Narasimhan Poyyapakkam

Publication number: 20140151240Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system comprising an absorber; the absorber being operative to extract carbon dioxide from a flue gas stream to form a carbon capture solution that is rich in carbon dioxide; and an electrolytic cell disposed downstream of the absorber; where the electrolytic cell is operative to reduce carbon dioxide present in the carbon capture solution. Disclosed herein too is a method comprising discharging a flue gas stream from a flue gas generator to an absorber; contacting the flue gas stream with a carbon capture solution; extracting carbon dioxide from the flue gas stream to form a carbon dioxide rich carbon capture solution; discharging the carbon dioxide rich carbon capture solution to an electrolytic cell; and reducing the carbon dioxide to a hydrocarbon in the electrolytic cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2012Publication date: June 5, 2014Applicant: ALSTOM TECHNOLOGY LTDInventors: Stephen Allan Bedell, Michal Bialkowski, Turgay Pekdemir

Patent number: 8528313Abstract: The present invention relates to a burner for a combustion chamber of a gas turbine plant, with an injection device for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. The injection device has a body which is arranged in the burner and which has at least one nozzle for introducing gaseous fuel into the burner. The body is configured as a streamlined body which has a streamlined cross-sectional profile and which extends with a longitudinal direction transversely with respect to a main flow direction prevailing in the burner. The at least one nozzle has its outlet orifice at an trailing edge of the streamlined body.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2009Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Alstom Technology LtdInventors: Richard Carroni, Madhavan Narasimhan Poyyapakkam, Michal Bialkowski, Mark Andrew Willetts
