Dependence of pollutant emissions on operating parameters of gas pumping units at subzero temperatures

Abstract Pollutant emissions from gas-fired equipment are determined by the combustion parameters and the design of the units and burners. In addition to the design, NO X and CO emissions significantly depend on environmental parameters, including air temperature. The article examines the features of pollutant formation processes during operation of gas turbine units of various designs and configurations: both stationary units such as the GTK-10M designed for main gas transportation and converted marine engines DR-59L used as a drive for gas pumping units at subzero outside air temperatures. The operation of hot water boilers as part of a gas heating unit was also investigated. The studies were conducted to develop mathematical models of pollutant formation to create a continuous calculation control system that will allow for high-precision determination and prediction of limit values for NO X and CO emissions and minimize the impact of emissions on the environment.
