Abstract
A method for starting and operating a NMHC fueled gas turbine combined cycle power plant includes injecting gaseous NMHC fuel into a gaseous NMHC fuel treatment system, injecting at least one of auxiliary steam, HRSG steam, or HRSG water into the gaseous NMHC fuel treatment system, and mixing the at least one of auxiliary steam, HRSG steam, or HRSG water with the gaseous NMHC fuel in the NMHC fuel treatment system to form a gaseous NMHC fuel mixture. The method further includes injecting the gaseous NMHC fuel mixture into a gaseous NMHC fuel distribution system, and providing the gaseous NMHC fuel mixture through the gaseous NMHC fuel distribution system to a combustor of the NMHC fueled gas turbine.
