Abstract
A system includes a gas turbine system having a first compressor, a combustor, and a turbine, where the first compressor provides a first portion of a discharge air directly to the combustor. The system includes a fluid circuit which receives a fluid comprising a second portion of the discharge air from the first compressor or a combustible fluid and provides the second portion of the discharge air to fuel at a location upstream of the combustor to alter a chemical and physical characteristic of the fuel in an air-fuel mixture that is provided to the combustor.
