Abstract

A system includes a gas turbine engine configured to combust an oxidant and a fuel to generate an exhaust gas, a catalyst bed configured to treat a portion of the exhaust gas from the gas turbine engine to generate a treated exhaust gas, a differential temperature monitor configured to monitor a differential temperature between a first temperature of the portion of exhaust gas upstream of the catalyst bed and a second temperature of the treated exhaust gas downstream of the catalyst bed, and an oxidant-to-fuel ratio system configured to adjust a parameter to maintain an efficacy of the catalyst bed based at least in part on the differential temperature in order to maintain a target equivalence ratio.
