A combustor for a gas turbine having first and second passages for pre-mixing primary fuel and air supplied to a primary combustion zone. The flow of fuel to the first and second pre-mixing passages is separately regulated using a single annular fuel distribution ring having first and second row of fuel discharge ports. The interior portion of the fuel distribution ring is divided by a baffle into first and second fuel distribution manifolds and is located upstream of the inlets to the two pre-mixing passages. The annular fuel distribution ring is supplied with fuel by an annular fuel supply manifold, the interior portion of which is divided by a baffle into first and second fuel supply manifolds. A first flow of fuel is regulated by a first control valve and directed to the first fuel supply manifold, from which the fuel is distributed to first fuel supply tubes that direct it to the first fuel distribution manifold. From the first fuel distribution manifold, the first flow of fuel is distributed to the first row of fuel discharge ports, which direct it into the first pre-mixing passage. A second flow of fuel is regulated by a second control valve and directed to the second fuel supply manifold, from which the fuel is distributed to second fuel supply tubes that direct it to the second fuel distribution manifold. From the second fuel distribution manifold, the second flow of fuel is distributed to the second row of fuel discharge ports, which direct it into the second pre-mixing passage.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A combustor for combusting a flow of fuel in a flow of oxygen bearing fluid comprising:a) first and second passages for mixing first and second portions of said fuel flow in first and second portions of said flow of oxygen bearing fluid, respectively, said first passage having an inlet for receiving said first portion of said oxygen bearing fluid flow, said second passage having an inlet for receiving said second portion of said oxygen bearing fluid flow wherein said first and second passages are separated by a wall member; andb) means for introducing said fuel flow into said first and second portions of said flow of oxygen bearing fluid, said fuel introducing means comprising an annular fuel distribution chamber positioned in the flow of oxygen bearing fluid upstream of said wall member and forming first and second, separate fuel distribution manifolds, which are isolated from each other, said first fuel distribution manifold having means for discharging said first portion of said fuel flow substantially only into said first passage and said first portion of said flow of oxygen bearing fluid, and said second fuel distribution manifold having means for discharging said second portion of said fuel flow substantially only into said second passage and said second portion of said flow of oxygen bearing fluid.
