Abstract
An inverse combined steam-gas turbine cycle is disclosed. In the steam cycle, a fuel having a high nitrogen content such as coal or heavy fuel oil is burned in a boiler to raise steam to power a steam turbine. In the gas turbine cycle, a hydrocarbon fuel such as natural gas is burned in a gas combustor to power a gas turbine. The compressed exhaust gas (40. 42) from the steam cycle combustion is introduced into the gas combustor, where nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x) in the exhaust gas may be reduced through reactions with the hydrocarbon fuel.
