Catalytic combustion is considered to be the best combustion method in order for a gas turbine to achieve lower NOx levels. However, the disadvantage of this method is that the catalyst temperature would reach the same tomperature as hot gas or higher, and so the life span of the catalyst would not be sufficiently long for practical use with a gas turbine. A new method of catalytically ignited premixed combustion which will keep catalyst temperatures at favourable levels has been developed.
