The authors have presented computational and experimental investigations into the burning of sulfur-containing oil gases of heterogeneous composition and calorific power in a burner whose combustion products are the working medium for the recovery-power-plant′s turbine drive. The equations of the working process have been written in the context of a generalized law of conservation. The results of numerical modeling have been obtained with the ANSYS FLUENT software package. The experimental data have been derived during the burning of the oil gas stored in cylinders directly at a marginal field. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data has shown the adequacy of the computational model. The calculation results allow the conclusion on the correctness of the technical decisions adopted earlier on creation of a domestic recovery gas-turbine plant of the blocked-module type for marginal fields.
