Abstract
This invention relates to the use of a catalytic preburner for heating the pair from compressor discharge temperatures to above the light-off or extinction temperatures of a catalytic combustor. Such structures of this type, generally, eliminate the diffusion flame during steady-state operation and produce a preburner/catalytic combustor system capable of achieving less than 1 ppm NO.sub.x.
