Description
SPECIFICATION
Control of NOx emissions in a stationary gas turbine
The abatement of emissions, particularly the oxides of nitrogen (NOx), is gaining increasing attention and significant resources are being applied to the associated problems.
Investigation of the NOx forming mechanisms in the combustors of stationary gas turbines has shown there are basicaliy two different NOx sources. Thermal NOx is formed by reactions between the nitrogen and oxygen in the air initiated by the high flame temperature. Fuel NOx, on the other hand, results from the oxidation of organic nitrogen compounds in the fuel. In liquid fuel, the fuel nitrogen may be present in the form of any nitrogen bearing hydrogen compounds of which pyridine is one example. In gaseous fuel, the fuel nitrogen may be present in the form of ammonia or some other nitrogen compound.
Various governmental agencies have proposed or enacted codes for regulating the NOx emissions of stationary gas turbines. For example, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency has proposed a code limiting NOx emissions to 75 ppm at 15% oxygen with an efficiency correction. In Southern California, the Los Angeles
County Air Pollution Control District's Los Angeles
County Rule No. 67 limits NOx emissions to 140 Ib per hour. Currently available stationary gas turbines cannot satisfy such code requirements without water or steam injection but such a procedure is undesirable because the water and steam injection has a deleterious effect on heat rate and also it is difficult to supply an- adequate amount of water of sufficient purity to prevent damage to the turbine.Factors which effect the level of NOx emissions in stationary gas turbines and other turbines are known and various attempts to modify the structure of reactance combusted have been attempted. See, e.g., U.S.
Patents 3,969,892, 3,949,548 and 3,792,581.
Such attempts have met with various levels of success.
Stationary gas turbines can be used in conjunction with a fuel prepared in a coal gasification plant. The gasification plant is basically made up of two units. The first is an air separation unit in which oxygen is separated from the remainder of the air and the second is an oxygen blown coal gas production unit in which the separated oxygen and coal are processed to provide a fuel which has a medium BTU heating value of about 180 to 300 BTUs per cubic foot.
The peak flame temperature reached in the combustor for the gas turbine is nearly the same for the medium BTU fuel gas as it is for distillate oils. As a result, nitrogen in the combustion air reacts to form NOx in the high temperature flame zone and the same thermal NOx formation problems encountered when using a distillate oii fuel are present. Water or steam injection as a means of decreasing thermal NOx formation is not a viable alternative with coal gas fuels because in addition to the thermal efficiency penalty, the injection of such fluids can induce compressor surges.In general, the fuel to air ratio is higher with coal gas fuels than with oil or natural gas so that the initial mass injection (the water or steam) increases the back pressure to near the compressor surge line which would require redesign of either the compressor or other equipment to be overcome. Additionally, gaseous nitrogen is produced as a by-product of the oxygen separation from the air and must be disposed of in a suitable fashion.
It is the object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus for lowering the NOx emissions of a stationary gas turbine especially when the fuel for the combustor of the gas turbine is a medium BTU fuel gas generated in a coal gasification plant. This and other objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description in which
Figure 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a first embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 2 is a schematic flow diagram of a second embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 3 is a schematic flow diagram of a third embodiment of the present invention;
Figure 4 is a graph of data relating the amount of oxygen to NOx emissions; and
Figure 5 is a graph of data relating the amount of oxygen to the percent NOx emissions reduction.
This invention relates to a method and plant for reducing NOx emissions from a stationary gas turbine and more particularly relates to the use of an oxygen-deficient air mixture as a substitute for a portion of the combustion air, particularly in a plant where the fuel is a medium BTU fuel gas produced by the gasification of coal and the oxygen-deficient air mixture is a by-product of the oxygen separation which forms a part of the gasification unit.
Medium BTU coal gas fuels are generated in oxygen blown gasifiers and used in combined cycle gas turbines for power generation. The oxygen is generated on site by separating air and the remaining oxygen-deficient air mixture consisting essentially of nitrogen, argon and a small percentage of oxygen is vented to the atmosphere. The present invention advantageously utilizes the normally wasted oxygen-deficient air mixture in order to control
NOx emissions from the gas turbines. By way of example, a typical oxygen-deficient air mixture derived from an air separator consists essentially of nitrogen, less than ten percent oxygen and less than two percent argon and other air constituents.
Hence, the oxygen-deficient air mixture consists of approximately ninety percent nitrogen, N2.
Accordingly, as used herein, the term oxygendeficient air mixture consists essentially of nitrogen.
While the Figures 1-3 are schematic flow diagram of three embodiments of the present invention, a conventional oxygen blown coal gasification-gas turbine electric generating plant can be described with reference to such drawings.
Airfrom any suitable source is introduced into an air separation unit 1 where the oxygen for the coal gasifier is separated and the oxygen-deficient air
mixture, indicated generally by the symbol N2 is vented to the atmosphere. The oxygen thus separated is then used together with coal in a gas production unit 2 to generate the medium BTU fuel gas. Air from the same or a different source is introduced into a compressor 3 and the resulting compressed air, together with the medium BTU fuel gas is introduced into the stationary gas turbine combustor 4. The combustion products are then used in gas turbine 5 to generate power.
In accordance with the present invention, the waste oxygen-deficient air mixture from the air separation unit 1 is introduced into the inlet of compressor 3 of gas turbine 5. This is accomplished by interjecting a control valve 6 or other suitable control device in the exhaust line connecting the air separation unit 1 to the atmospheric vent. Control valve 6 is operated so as to divert a portion of the oxygen-deficient air
mixture to the inlet of compressor 3.
The embodiments shown in Figures 2 and 3 additionally are adapted to concentrate the oxygen-deficient air mixture in the flame zone of combustor 4 to make more efficient use of the available oxygen-deficient air mixture for control of the NOx emissions. In the Figure 2 embodiment, a portion of the oxygen-deficient air mixture is diverted from the exhaust line emanating from air separation unit 1 and conveyed to a gaseous compressor 7. The compressed oxygen-deficient air mixture consisting essentially of compressed nitrogen is then introduced into the combustor 4 through the combustor inlet. The Figure 3 embodiment is the same arrangement as the
Figure 2 embodiment except that the compressed nitrogen is mixed with the medium BTU fuel gas and the resulting mixture is introduced into combustor 4.
The effect of the various embodiments of the invention is to replace a portion of the normal combustor air flow with the oxygen-deficient air mixture. Even though thermal NOx formation is the result of the combustion of nitrogen in the combustor and the invention increases the quantity of nitrogen in the combustor, the NOx emissions are reduced. The reason for this reduction is that diluting the combustion air with nitrogen decreases the oxygen content of the combustion air which, in turn, lowers the peak combustion temperature and thereby decreases the thermal NOx substantially. The amount of nitrogen utilized depends on the desired degree of
NOx reduction. Air is about 21% by volume oxygen. It has been found that the oxygen content can be reduced by nitrogen to about 17% by volume without any substantially adverse effects on the combustion system.It has further been found that within the range of about 1 7 to 20% oxygen, the NOx emissions of the stationary gas turbine are substantially reduced. Accordingly, sufficient nitrogen is introduced into the
combustor in order to reduce the oxygen content
from about 21% to about 1 7-20% and preferably
about 1719%. In other words, about 520% by volume, preferably about 1020% by volume,
of the air is replaced with nitrogen.
In order to- demonstrate the present invention, a
commercially available gas turbine combustor was
operated at a turbine firing temperature of 1 8500F and to duplicate machine conditions,
nitrogen was added to the combustor inlet air well
upstream of the combustorto ensure a
homogeneous mixture and air was vented near the
combustor discharge to maintain a constant mass flow through the combustor. Adding nitrogen in
this manner does not change mass flow
significantly but dilutes the oxygen in the air. The
volume percent oxygen in the air was measured at
several test points and the results achieved are
shown in Figures 4 and 5.Figure 4 relates the
amount of oxygen in the combustor air with the
measured wet NOx in parts per million and Figure
5 presents the same data as a percent reduction in
NOx relative to that measured with air undiluted with nitrogen. The dynamic pressure, pattern factor and CO emissions were also monitored during this test and were found not to change significantly from the base line air data.
Extrapolation of the data presented in Figure 5 to predict the machine NOx emission characteristics over the load range on a worst case basis indicated that the NOx emissions would be below the proposed U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency NOx limit for the entire curve.
Those skilled in the art can appreciate that
Figures 4 and 5 apply to the situation where the oxygen-deficient air mixture is mixed homogeneously with the compressor air.
However, the plots can be extended to approximate the effects of head end injection and mixing the oxygen-deficient air mixture with the fuel by considering the abscissa as volume percent oxygen in air for the stoichiometric flame zone, assuming all the oxygen-deficient air mixture enters the flame zone.
