    摘要: A direct contact cooler comprises a flue gas stream path extending from a flue gas inlet to a flue gas outlet. The direct contact cooler further includes a first treatment section and a second treatment section disposed along the flue gas stream path. The first treatment section is arranged upstream of the second treatment section with respect to a flue gas stream along the flue gas stream path. The direct contact cooler includes an ammonia-rich wash water inlet and an ammonia-lean wash water outlet. The ammonia-rich wash water inlet is disposed between the first treatment section and the second treatment section and the ammonia-lean wash water outlet is disposed upstream of the first treatment section. Also disclosed herein are an ammonia-based carbon dioxide removal system including a direct contact cooler as defined above and a relevant method for carbon dioxide abatement.

    摘要: A two-gas shaft turbine control system (31) is disclosed. The gas turbine control system comprises a fuel controller (35), which receives a speed error signal, indicating whether the low-pressure turbine wheel (11) of the gas turbine (1) is rotating at the desired target speed. The gas turbine control system (31) further comprises an NGV controller (41), which receives a speed error signal, indicating whether the high-pressure turbine wheel (9) of the gas turbine engine (1) is rotating at the desired target speed. Two cross channel controllers are further provided. On the basis of a gas turbine model, a first cross channel controller (43) provides a fuel control modification signal, which is added to a control signal generated by the fuel controller (35). A second cross channel controller (45) provides an NGV control modification signal. The modification signals are aimed at reducing or canceling the effect of mutual interaction between fuel control and NGV control. A two-shaft gas turbine engine system and a method of operation are further disclosed.

    摘要: A compressor arrangement having a main compressor, a piping system containing process gas to be extracted after the shut-down of the main compressor and one or more components emitting or leaking depressurized process gas while the compressor is operating or starting up; the compressor arrangement further comprises one or more collectors arranged to collect the depressurized process gas emitted from said components and an additional compressor fluidly coupled with the piping system and with the collectors in in order to compress the depressurized process gas coming from the components while the compressor is starting up or operating and to compress process gas coming from the piping system after a shut-down of the compressor.
