Abstract

This paper describes a development program aimed at determining the technical feasibility of utilizing a bio-mass derived fuel in an industrial gas turbine engine. The fuel addressed is a flammable bio-fuel oil derived from wood waste through flash pyrolysis. The fuel has a heating value of approximately 18 MJ/kg, a density of 1.2 kg/l and specialized wet filtration techniques are used to minimize the particulate matter in the fuel. The turbine engine selected, as the test vehicle, is a 2.5 MW class - GT2500 engine designed and built by Mashproekt in the Ukraine. The standard operating conditions and layout of this engine provide flexibility in optimization of the combustion system to accept lower than conventional grade fuels. The characteristics of the fuel, the fuel handling system, and the considerations with respect to igniting and maintaining combustion with a fuel of this nature are discussed.
