A 9-Point Lean Direct low emissions combustor concept was utilized to evaluate gaseous emissions performance of two bio-derived alternative jet fuels and a JP-8 fuel for comparison. Gaseous emissions were measured in a flame tube operating at inlet temperatures from 650 up to 1030 F, pressures of 150, 250, and 350 psia, and a range of fuel/air ratios. The alternative fuels consisted of a Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids Fuel made from tallow and a second bio derived fuel produced from direct fermentation of sugar.
