METHOD OF STARTING A COMBUSTION SYSTEM UTILIZING A CATALYST Abstract of the Disclosure A method and system are provided for starting a combus- tion system utilizing a catalyst, and at the same time provide low emissions of unburned hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide. The method is particularly applicable to starting such combustion systems which are subject to intermittent opera- tion, such as for example, gas turbines used to power auto- motive vehicles in which carbonaceous fuels are combusted to provide the motive fluid, or furnaces which are used inter- mittently. In the method, heat, such as produced by elec- trical means or by thermal combustion of a carbonaceous fuel, is employed to bring the catalyst to an operating temperature which will permit rapid oxidation of the carbonaceous fuel. When the catalyst has been heated to reach such operating temperatures, the start-up heating may be terminated and the normal operation of the combustion zone including the catalyst may proceed.
