Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Technique
Description
Applicability
a.
Advanced control system
See descriptions in Section 8.3
The applicability to old combustion plants may be constrained by the need to retrofit the combustion system and/or control command system
b.
Dry low-NOX burners (DLN)
Applicable to new gas turbines (standard equipment) within the constraints associated with fuel quality variations.
The applicability may be limited for existing gas turbines by: availability of a retrofit package (for low-load operation), complexity of the platform organisation and space availability
c.
Lean-burn concept
Only applicable to new gas-fired engines
d.
Low-NOX burners (LNB)
Only applicable to boilers
