Claim 11:
12. A fuel delivery system for a gas turbine engine comprising:
a fuel oxygen reduction unit defining a stripping gas flowpath and comprising an inlet fuel line and an outlet fuel line, the fuel oxygen reduction unit comprising:
an oxygen transfer assembly for reducing an amount of oxygen in an inlet fuel flow through the inlet fuel line using a stripping gas flow through the stripping gas flowpath, the oxygen transfer assembly comprising a separator;
a catalyst in airflow communication with the stripping gas flowpath at a location downstream of the oxygen transfer assembly, the catalyst receiving and treating the stripping gas flow in the stripping gas flowpath from the oxygen transfer assembly, wherein a stripping gas stream flows out the catalyst;
a water removal component disposed downstream of the catalyst, wherein the water removal component removes water from the stripping gas stream; and
a boost pump downstream of the oxygen transfer assembly, wherein the separator and the boost pump are both coupled to, and driven by, an accessory gearbox of the gas turbine engine.
