Abstract

Method and apparatus for treating gases issuing from a pressurized gasification or combustion plant of solid fuel prior to leading the gases into a turbine. The hot gases are first cleaned in a particle separator, whereafter they are introduced int a centrifugal separator, which is disposed immediately in front of or in connection with a combustion chamber of the turbine. Cleanliness of the gases is ensured by the centrifugal separator. Air is mixed with the gases for bringing about additional combustion and for raising the temperature of the gases to a level >1000.degree. C.
