About this technology
Overview
Under an SBIR from Lewis Research Center, Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) developed the Advanced Technology Catalytic Combustor. The research proved the viability of efficient, cost-effective catalytic reduction of gas turbine nitrogen oxide emissions along with fuel efficiency. PCI has signed agreements with Westinghouse, other gas turbine manufacturers, including Capstone Turbine Corporation to develop a catalytic combustor for their hybrid electric vehicle.
