A system includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust an oxidant and a fuel to generate an exhaust gas, a catalyst bed configured to treat a portion of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine engine to generate a treated exhaust gas, a differential temperature monitor configured to monitor a differential temperature between a first temperature of the portion of exhaust gas upstream of the catalyst bed and a second temperature of the treated exhaust gas downstream of the catalyst bed, and an oxidant-to-fuel ratio system configured to adjust a parameter to maintain an efficacy of the catalyst bed based at least in part on the differential temperature in order to maintain a target equivalence ratio.

In one embodiment, a plant includes a combustor to burn fuel with oxygen from an inlet guide vane (IGV) to generate a gas for a gas turbine (GT), and a heat recovery steam generator to use an exhaust gas from GT to generate steam for a steam turbine (ST). An apparatus controls an IGV opening degree to a first degree and a GT output value to a value larger than a first value between GT start and ST start. The first value is an output value at which exhaust gas temperature can be kept at a first temperature that depends on ST metal temperature, when the IGV opening degree is the first degree. The apparatus increases the IGV opening degree from the first degree based on steam temperature or the GT output value, while the GT output value is controlled to the value larger than the first value.

Provided is a plant that includes: a boiler; a device connected to the boiler; a water supply source that is configured to pool water; a water supply line that supplies water from the water supply source to the boiler; a cooler that transfers heat from a medium to be cooled to supply-water, which is the water flowing along the water supply line; a thermometer that determines a temperature of the medium to be cooled or the supply-water; and a temperature regulator that is configured to regulate the temperature of the medium to be cooled on the basis of the temperature determined by the thermometer.

A steam generation apparatus includes: a heat medium flow passage through which a heat medium flows; a primary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage; a secondary economizer disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the primary economizer with respect to a flow direction of the heat medium; a primary evaporator disposed in the heat medium flow passage at an upstream side of the secondary economizer with respect to the flow direction of the heat medium; a first flash tank for generating flash steam; a first feed water line configured to supply water heated by the primary economizer to the secondary economizer; and a second feed water line disposed so as to branch from the first feed water line and configured to supply the water heated by the primary economizer to the first flash tank.

This exhaust gas processing equipment is provided with an exhaust line through which exhaust gas discharged from a boiler circulates, a carbon dioxide recovering device for recovering carbon dioxide included in the exhaust gas, and an exhaust gas heating device provided downstream of the carbon dioxide recovering device to heat the exhaust gas. The carbon dioxide recovering device includes a first medium line through which a first medium circulates, and a second medium line through which a second medium higher in temperature than the first medium circulates. The exhaust gas heating device includes a first heating unit for heating the exhaust gas by means of heat exchange with the first medium, and a second heating unit for heating the exhaust gas passing through the first heating unit even more by heat exchange with the second medium.

A combined heat and power system comprises a shaft (4), a compressor (6) coupled to the shaft to compress intake gas to form compressed gas; a recuperator (10) to heat the compressed gas to form heated compressed gas; a combustor (12) to combust a fuel and the heated compressed gas to form combustion gas; a turbine (8) coupled to the shaft to expand the combustion gas to form exhaust gas; a load (24) coupled to the shaft; an exhaust outlet (18) to expel the exhaust gas to a heater for heating a fluid based on heat from the exhaust gas; a recuperator channel (28) providing a path for the exhaust gas to flow from the turbine to the exhaust outlet through the recuperator; and a bypass channel (22) providing a path for the exhaust gas to flow from the turbine to the exhaust outlet bypassing the recuperator.

A power generation facility includes a process for capturing and sequestering CO2 generated from the facility turbines. The systems may include a heat recovery steam generator, a heat exchanger, a capture unit, and a sequestration compression unit that are configured to cool the flue gas, absorb CO2 therefrom, compress the flue gas, and send the compressed CO2 rich gas stream to sequestration of some form, thereby reducing the overall emissions from the facility.
