IMPROVED CATALYTIC COMBUSTION SYSTEM INCLUDING A SEPARATOR BODY

摘要

A combustor for supporting the catalytic combustion of gaseous carbonaceous fuel contains a catalyst zone in which is disposed a catalyst body comprising at least one catalyst member, a separator zone comprising a separator body and a downstream zone where homogeneous combustion occurs. The catalyst member contains a carrier and a catalyst material deposited thereon. The catalyst body may, optionally, contain additional catalyst members downstream of the at least one catalyst member. The separator body contains a carrier-type monolith containing ceramic fibers in a matrix. One of the optional additional catalyst members may also contain such a monolith on which the catalyst composition is disposed.
