| Zusammenfassung: | This invention relates to emulsion fuels and their use in gas turbines. More particularly, but not exclusively, the invention relates to emulsion fuels based on viscous hydrocarbons derived from crude oil or on directly produced high viscosity grades and the use thereof in gas turbines.
A gas turbine is driven by combustion of a fuel which is a hydrocarbon oil-in-water emulsion. Successful operation is achieved with minimized corrosion of turbine blades by keeping the Na content of the emulsion to less than 1 ppm. Deionized water is generally to be used in making up the emulsion. Heavy oils can be used because their conversion to oil-in-water emulsion form makes them suited to the pre-atomization requirements of gas turbine combustion. |
