Note: Presentations may start a few minutes before the time listed in the schedule.
Various types of small and large gas turbine units are used in a variety of pipeline compressor stations, simple and combined cycle power plants, as well as for cogeneration and district energy. They comprise the range from microturbines, aeroderivative units, and industrial frame units operating on a variety of liquid and gaseous fuels that deliver the hot high pressure airflow to produce power and heat output. This tutorial is a concise look at air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from various types of gas turbine systems. The three presentations include how emissions are formed by high pressure fuel combustion, cost-effective solutions for their prevention and control, fuel flexibility and syngas considerations, and how policy and regulations can be developed to address air emissions and system efficiency.
This long running Tutorial was developed in yr 2000 through the IGTI 'Environmental & Regulatory Affairs Committee' , and addresses several basic issues involved in national energy and environmental policy. Sponsored by the 'Industrial & Cogeneration' and the 'Combustion & Fuels' Committees of TurboExpo, it is intended for engineers and other professionals working in fields other than combustion but may have to consider issues related to the combustor. The goal of the tutorial is to introduce the important concepts, system design issues and regulatory standards that are commonly considered by gas turbine engineers and those installing gas turbines.
