A SYSTEM FOR CATALYTIC COMBUSTION

摘要

A system comprising a compressor ( 10 ) having an inlet stream ( 25 ) and an outlet stream ( 26 ), a pre-heater ( 12 ) having a process inlet stream ( 29 ) and a process outlet stream ( 31 ), a catalytic combustor ( 13 ) having an inlet stream ( 32 ) and an outlet stream ( 33 ) and containing an catalyst, and a turbine ( 14 ) having an inlet stream ( 34 ) and an outlet stream ( 35 ), wherein, the outlet stream ( 26 ) of the compressor( 10 ) is connected to the process inlet stream ( 29 ) of the pre-heater ( 12 ), the process outlet stream ( 31 ) of the pre-heater ( 12 ) is connected to the inlet stream ( 32 ) of the catalytic combustor ( 13 ). The outlet stream ( 33 ) of the catalytic combustor ( 13 ) is connected to the inlet stream ( 34 ) of the turbine ( 14 ). During operation of the system, the inlet stream ( 25 ) of the compressor ( 10 ) has a substantially constant and low concentration of fuel.
