21 Variable Affecting to NOx 21

22 Variable Affecting to NOx There are 4 major variable affecting to NOx amount generating by the engine 1.Effect of Power Generation 2.Effect of Air Inlet Temperature 3.Effect of Fuel Gas Heating Value 4.Effect of Engine Performance

23 Variable Affecting to NOx Effect of Power Generation Increasing power generation means by increasing amount of fuel gas into the combustor. It cause high flame temperature. NOx amount will be greater. Engine Load (%) Nox (ppm)

24 Variable Affecting to NOx Effect of Ambient Temperature Air density is function of temperature and elevation. Lower air intake temperature can produce more power to the driven machine due to high mass flow rate.

25 Variable Affecting to NOx Effect of Fuel Gas Heating Value In order get the same amount of energy, if we increase heating value by feeding ethane instead of methane. Less gas velocity will be required. Poor mixing through combustor geometry shall generally create more mass-weight averaged hot spot. Summary: Lower heating value  Higher heating value Lower NOx amount  Higher NOx amount 90% Ethane 10% Methane 100% Methane

26 Variable Affecting to NOx Effect of Engine Performance The most important component relating to the engine performance is gas turbine compressor section. Dirty or damage of compressor blade can cause decreasing in performance. Less air mass flow rate means by worse flame cooling. Note compressor washing can recover the performance. Summary: Higher engine performance  Lower engine performance Lower NOx amount  Higher NOx amount Compressor Section
