  • Hydrogen Injection For Enhanced Combustion Stability In Gas Turbine Systems
    Publication number: 20240019123
    Abstract: A hydrogen injection scheme can be employed via use of one or more injectors for injecting hydrogen to help entrain local mass while also generating local turbulence that can enhance mixing with a mixture of air and fuel to facilitate enhanced lean combustion, lower peak flame temperatures of combustion, and reduce nitrous oxide (NOx) emissions from the combustion of fuel. In some embodiments, the hydrogen can be injected to help transport heat released during combustion away from the injector to help avoid injector overheating as well. Different injectors can be utilized to provide a desired hydrogen injection scheme for a particular set of design and operational criteria for a gas turbine system or at least one combustion system that can be utilized in a gas turbine system.

  • Apparatus and Method for Carbon Dioxide Recovery
    Publication number: 20240009618
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for use of an alkaline reagent (e.g. sodium hydroxide, NaOH, potassium hydroxide, KOH, etc.) to facilitate removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas output from a glass melting operation. The CO2 removed from the flue gas can be in carbonates formed in the reaction of the reagent with the flue gas, which can be used in glass melting operations. A portion of the flue gas can also be liquefied in some embodiments to produce a liquefied CO2 stream for other uses. In some embodiments, a portion of the carbonate generated from the CO2 removal process can be heated (e.g. in an indirect heat exchange process) to liberate the CO2 for feeding the liberated CO2 to a liquefaction process while a resultant oxide formed via the CO2 liberation can be hydrolyzed to regenerate the alkaline reagent for subsequent use in the CO2 removal process.
