Provided are water-based fuel additive compositions that, when combusted with a fuel containing vanadium in a gas turbine, inhibit vanadium hot corrosion in the gas turbine. The water-based fuel additive compositions include at least one rare earth element compound or alkaline earth element compound that retards vanadium corrosion resulting from combustion of vanadium rich fuel.

An oxy-gaseous fuel burner (400, 500) or a solid fuel burner (700) having an annular cavity (404, 504, 704) upstream from and proximate to an outlet plane (416, 516, 716) and a converging (434, 734) or converging-diverging nozzle (537) located upstream from and proximal to the cavity (404, 504, 704). The solid fuel burner (700) also is preferably operated so that the velocity of gas exiting a second annulus (730) is less than the velocity of gas exiting a central conduit (710).

The invention relates to quaternary ammonium amide and/or ester salts and their use as additives, including their use in fuels, such as diesel fuel. The invention particularly relates to the use of quaternary ammonium amide and/or ester salts as detergents in diesel fuels.

A combustion device includes an ammonia supply unit supplying primary reduction ammonia as a nitrogen oxide reducing agent into a combustor and mixing secondary reduction ammonia with combustion exhaust gas discharged from the combustor to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the combustion exhaust gas and a controller configured to control at least one of the amount of supply of the primary reduction ammonia and the amount of mixing of the secondary reduction ammonia with the combustion exhaust gas in accordance with concentrations of residual nitrogen oxide and residual ammonia contained in the combustion exhaust gas after being discharged from the combustor.

In a first cycle, an effluent gas composition including volatile organic compounds flows into a first vessel having heated ceramic material therein, forming a heated effluent composition, which then flows into a combustion/retention chamber connected to the first vessel, the combustion/retention chamber comprising a burner, which combusts VOCs in heated effluent composition. The hydrocarbon-depleted heated effluent composition flows into a second vessel with a second ceramic material therein, and heat transferred thereto. A hydrocarbon-depleted first cycle cooled effluent composition is directed into a first indirect heat exchanger, transferring heat to a very low VOC airstream. The heated very low VOC airstream is then directed into a unit designed to employ the heated very VOC airstream for heating. The effluent composition is then directed into a second indirect heat exchanger, transferring heat to a water stream. The direction of flow is reversed in a second cycle, while a third vessel is purged.
