Abstract

Research and development of an IGCC (Integrated Coal Gasification Combined Cycle) power generation system is being carried out as one of the advanced coal utilization technology in Japan. The coal gasified fuel, which is produced in a coal gasifier of air-blown entrained-flow type has calorific value as low as 1/10 of LNG. Furthermore, the fuel gas contains ammonia when a gas cleaning system is a hot type, and ammonia will be converted to nitrogen oxides in the combustion process of a gas turbine. The authors have designed and made an 1300°C-class advanced rich-lean combustor mainly designed for achieving low fuel-NOx combustion. By testing it under atmospheric pressure conditions, we have successfully reduced the NOx emissions (to 60 ppm corrected at 16 percent O2) by more than half the level previously achieved when the ammonia concentration was 1000 ppm. Combustion stability was adequate even when the calorific value of the fuel decreased to 2700 kJ/m3N.
