Title: Air Permitting For Engines And Turbines Fired By Natural Gas

Abstract: Engines and turbines fired by natural gas require air use permits primarily because of their emissions of nitrogen oxides (Nd) and carbon monoxide (CO). Federal regulations that apply to these sources were initiated with the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1970 and 1977, and include New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for gas turbines and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). The primary concern for permitting a source subject to PSD is the requirement to install the Best Available Control Technology (BACT). This may include water or steam injection, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and modified combustors for control of NO, emissions, and catalysts for CO emissions. For other internal combustion engines such as reciprocating engines, this may include lean burn, non-selective catalytic reduction (NSCR), prestratified combustion, or SCR. As technology progresses over time, emissions limits invariably become more stringent, thus increasing the likelihood that emission controls such as those mentioned above will be required.
