  • Method of exhaust gas treatment for a gas turbine system and exhaust gas treatment assembly
    Patent number: 9951656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a gas turbine system, wherein the gas turbine system includes a compressor, a combustor, a heat recovery steam generator, a scrubber, a direct contact cooler. The method includes introducing the scrubbing fluid discharged from the scrubber into the direct contact cooler, contacting the scrubbing fluid in the direct contact cooler with the exhaust gas discharged from the heat recovery steam generator in order to remove a portion of nitrogen oxide therefrom; feeding the exhaust gas discharged from the direct contact cooler into the compressor. With the technical solution of the present invention, nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas is reduced to a certain extent by means of used scrubbing fluid from the scrubber. This solution may improve the efficiency in reduction of nitrogen oxide with a simple and feasible manner.
