1. A sorption arrangement for a gas turbine, the sorption arrangement including:
- an inlet system for the gas turbine, the inlet system including a substantially hollow chamber;
a support structure positioned within the substantially hollow chamber, the support structure including an exterior surface configured to contact inlet air passing through the substantially hollow chamber of the inlet system; and
a sorbent-laden media positioned on the support structure, the sorbent-laden media including one or more sorbents, wherein the support structure defines a substantially hollow interior with one or more openings extending through the support structure between the hollow interior of the support structure and the sorbent-laden media,wherein the sorbent-laden media is configured to contact inlet air passing through the substantially hollow chamber of the inlet system for the gas turbine such that gas phase contaminants are removed from the inlet air by the sorbent-laden media.

Abstract
A sorption arrangement for a gas turbine includes a sorbent-laden media. The sorbent-laden media is positioned within an inlet system for the gas turbine. The sorbent-laden media includes one or more sorbents. The sorbent-laden media contacts inlet air passing through the inlet system for the gas turbine such that gas phase contaminants are removed from the inlet air by the sorbent-laden media. A method of removing gas phase contaminants within an inlet system of a gas turbine is provided.

13. A method of removing gas phase contaminants within an inlet system of a gas turbine, the method including the steps of:
-
providing an inlet system for the gas turbine, the inlet system comprising; a substantially hollow chamber; a support structure positioned within the substantially hollow chamber, the support structure including an exterior surface configured to contact inlet air passing through the substantially hollow chamber of the inlet system; and a sorbent-laden media positioned on the support structure, the sorbent-laden media including one or more sorbents, wherein the support structure defines a substantially hollow interior with one or more openings extending through the support structure between the hollow interior of the support structure and the sorbent-laden media, wherein the sorbent-laden media is configured to contact inlet air passing through the substantially hollow chamber of the inlet system for the gas turbine such that gas phase contaminants are removed from the inlet air by the sorbent-laden media; passing inlet air by the sorbent-laden media; removing gas phase contaminants from the inlet air with the sorbent-laden media; and heating the sorbent-laden media to extract the gas phase contaminants from the sorbent-laden media. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
