Abstract

This paper describes on the NOx/CO emission characteristics, temperature characteristics and flame structures when firing coal derived synthetic gas especially for gases of Buggenum and Taean IGCC. These combustion characteristics were observed by conducting ambient-pressure elevated-temperature combustion tests in GE7EA model combustor when varying heat input and nitrogen dilution ratio. Nitrogen addition caused decrement in adiabatic flame temperature, thus resulting in the NOx reduction. At low heat input condition, nitrogen dilution raised the CO emission dramatically due to incomplete combustion. These NOx reduction and CO arising phenomena were observed at certain flame temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$ and $1250^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increasing nitrogen dilution, adiabatic flame temperature and combustor liner temperature were decreased and singular points were detected due to change in flame structure such as flame lifting. From the results, the effect of nitrogen dilution on the NOx/CO and flame structure was examined, and the test data will be utilized as a reference to achieve optimal operating condition of the Taean IGCC demonstration plant.

본 논문은 부게넘 및 태안 IGCC플랜트의 연료를 대상으로 석탄으로부터 생성된 합성가스의 NOx/CO배출 특성, 온도특성, 화염의 구조에 대해 기술하였다. GE7EA 모사 가스터빈 연소기를 대상으로 상압 고온 연소시험을 수행하여 입열량 및 질소희석에 따른 연소특성을 관찰하였다. 입열량이 감소하고, 희석제량이 증가할 때 단열화염온도의 감소로 NOx가 감소하였고, 저부하에서는 희석량이 증가할수록 불완전 연소로 인해 CO가 증가하였다. 이러한 NOx 감소 및 CO발생은 각각 $1500^{\circ}C$$1250^{\circ}C$의 특정 화염온도에서 관찰되었다. 또한 질소 희석이 증가할수록 단열화염온도 및 연소기 라이너의 온도가 감소했고, 화염 부상과 같은 화염구조의 변화로 인해 특이점이 관찰되었다. 본 연구결과를 통해 질소희석이 NOx/CO배출 및 온도, 화염구조에 미치는 영향이 검토되었으며, 시험 데이터는 향후 태안 IGCC 플랜트의 운전시 최적 조건 선정을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 예정이다.
