97100565 Combustion of low heating value gas in a gas turbine Kelsall. G. and Cannon, M. k'TT Symp., 1996, 164 (Power Production from Biomass II with Special Emphasis on Gasification and Pyrolysis R&DD), 109-126. The paper presents a brief overview of the air blown gasification cycle development initiative and discusses the general requirements for a gas turbine operating within such a cycle. Also it presents full comhustor performance results for the second phase of turbine comhustor development and discusses the rationale for the progressive design modifications made within that programme. This paper also presents the strategy for the further development of the comhustor to burn low calorific value fuel gas with low conversion of fuel-hound nitrogen to NO,. 97100566 Cost-effective, environmentally friendly LM6000 power Fludder, S. and Smith, N., Mining Mug..

WMC expect to save up to 10% in annual operating costs for all four mines. 97100567 Experience with unconventional gas turbine fuels Mukherjee. D. K., I'TTSyntp., 1996, 164 (Power Production from Biomass II with Special Emphasis on Gasification and Paralysis R&DD). 93-107. This review looks at the order placed by the Baa Shan Iran and Steel Company in Shanghai with Kawaspki Heavy Industries, Japan, to supply a combined-cycle power plant. The plant is to employ ABB's GT 1 IN2 with a comhustor modified to burn blast furnace gas. Recent tests have confirmed the burner design. The same basic comhustor concept can also he used for the low-Btu gas derived from air-blown gasification processes. ABB is also participating in the API project: a refinery-residual gasification comhinedcycle plant in Italy. The GT 13E2 gas turbine employs MBtu EV burners that have been successfully tested under full operating conditions. These burners can also handle the MBtu gas produced in oxygen-blown coal gasification processes. ABB's vast experience in hurning blast furnace gas, residuals, crude, and coal in various gas turbine applications is an important asset for building such power plants. This paper discusses some of the experience gained in such plants.
