A gas fixture safety cover comprising: a first wall; a second wall attached to the first wall, the second wall is generally perpendicular to the first wall; a third wall attached to the second wall and generally perpendicular to the second wall; a fourth wall attached to the third wall and first wall, the fourth wall generally perpendicular to the third wall and first wall; a first nozzle vertical slot in the first wall and extending to the bottom of the first wall; a second nozzle vertical slot in the second wall and extending to the bottom of the second wall and where the height of the first handle vertical slot is higher than the height of the first nozzle vertical slot; where when the gas fixture safety cover can only slide down over a two nozzle and two handle gas fixture when the two handles are both turned off; where when the gas fixture safety cover has slid onto a gas fixture when the gas valve handle is turned off, the gas fixture safety cover abuts a counter top, and where when the gas fixture safety cover has slid onto a gas fixture when the gas valve handle is turned on, the gas fixture safety cover does not abut a counter top.

A method can include receiving wind conditions data; determining a control action to control a flaring operation at a site using the wind conditions data; and issuing the control action to control the flaring operation.

Techniques determine if a gas service (e.g., piping and/or meter) is under-sized for the customer's needs. In one example, flowrate information corresponding to gas usage at a service site over a first period of time is obtained. The flowrate information is disaggregated to determine an expected flowrate associated with each of two or more appliances having generally fixed-rates of gas consumption. Flowrate information is again obtained, corresponding to a second period of time. The second flowrate information is compared to one or more combinations (i.e., summations) of the expected flowrates associated with each of the two or more appliances. Based on the comparison, it may be determined that the service site is not appropriately sized. In an example, failure to detect two fixed-rate of gas-consumption appliances operating at their respective fixed-rates at the same time may indicate that the service cannot provide gas at a sufficient flowrate.

A system is provided with a turbine combustor having a first diffusion fuel nozzle, wherein the first diffusion fuel nozzle is configured to produce a diffusion flame. The system includes a turbine driven by combustion products from the diffusion flame in the turbine combustor. The system also includes an exhaust gas compressor, wherein the exhaust gas compressor is configured to compress and route an exhaust gas from the turbine to the turbine combustor along an exhaust recirculation path. In addition, the system includes a first catalyst unit disposed along the exhaust recirculation path.

A centrifugal debris separator for removing debris from a gas turbine engine fuel system comprises a debris separator inlet, a debris separator outlet and a separating chamber with a centerline extending in an axial direction and defined by an outer wall formed around the centerline. The separating chamber comprises a separating chamber inlet for receiving fluid, a first separator outlet to the separating chamber, a second separator outlet to the separating chamber provided to the outer wall of the separating chamber and a third separator outlet to the separating chamber defined by a third separator outlet wall formed around the centerline of the separating chamber. The debris separator inlet is fluidly connected to the separating chamber inlet. The debris separator outlet is fluidly connected to the first separator outlet.

A system is provided with a turbine combustor having a first diffusion fuel nozzle, wherein the first diffusion fuel nozzle has first and second passages that separately inject respective first and second flows into a chamber of the turbine combustor to produce a diffusion flame. The first flow includes a first fuel, and the second flow includes a first oxidant and a first diluent. The system includes a turbine driven by combustion products from the diffusion flame in the turbine combustor. The system also includes an exhaust gas compressor, wherein the exhaust gas compressor is configured to compress and route an exhaust gas from the turbine to the turbine combustor along an exhaust recirculation path.

Various embodiments include a method for controlling a combustion device comprising a first combustion sensor and a second sensor. An example includes: specifying a first setpoint value for the first sensor for a first fuel; controlling the combustion device to the first setpoint value; recording a first value of the signal from the first combustion sensor and a second value of the signal from the second sensor; determining a second fuel as a function of the first signal and the second signal; comparing a composition of the first fuel to a composition of the second fuel; and, if the second fuel is of a different composition from the first fuel, determining a second setpoint value for the signal from the first combustion sensor as a function of the second fuel and adjusting the combustion device using the first combustion sensor to the second setpoint value for the signal from the first combustion sensor; else making no further adjustment.
