  • Patent number: 8402755
    Abstract: Systems for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion exhaust gas include a selective catalytic reactor (SCR) assembly having a catalyst bed for receiving a flow of exhaust gas, an exhaust gas conduit for introducing exhaust gas to the SCR assembly, at least one nozzle for introducing cooling water into the exhaust gas before the exhaust gas exits the SCR assembly, and at least one reductant conduit for introducing at least one reductant into the exhaust gas to form a reductant/exhaust mixture before the exhaust gas exits the SCR assembly. Methods for reducing nitrogen oxides in combustion exhaust gas include introducing an exhaust gas into a SCR assembly, and introducing cooling water into the exhaust gas, reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas, and introducing at least one reductant into the exhaust gas to form a reductant/exhaust mixture before the exhaust gas exits the SCR assembly.

  • Publication number: 20100077722
    Abstract: Systems and methods for augmenting the power generation capabilities of combined cycle power generation systems by more effectively recovering heat from exhaust gases of peaking cycle gas turbines are provided in the disclosed embodiments. In certain embodiments, the present techniques may include receiving superheated steam from a heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) unit. Heated exhaust gas from a peaking cycle gas turbine may be used to transfer heat to the superheated steam received from the HRSG. The systems used to transfer heat to the superheated steam may include a supplementary superheater located in an exhaust path of the peaking cycle gas turbine. The superheated steam exiting the supplementary superheater may be delivered to a steam turbine of a combined cycle power generation system, where the superheated steam may be used as a power source.
