  • Publication number: 20110265488
    Abstract: A method and system for gas turbine emissions management through delivery of a diluent fluid stream (steam, CO2, N2 etc) into a gas turbine combustion system while the gas turbine is operating on a conventional fuel such as light distillate oil or natural gas. The diluent injection system delivers required diluent-to-fuel ratios over the emissions compliance operating range of the gas turbine. The method for diluent injection is coupling the injection system to a gas turbine compressor discharge purge system, such that the diluent fluid is mixed with compressor discharge air. The mixed compressor discharge purge air and diluent stream are injected into the gas turbine combustor through a non-fueled combustion fuel nozzle passage to achieve emissions guarantee compliance.
