    摘要: A nitrogen compressor in an IGCC (integrated gasification, combined cycle) system provides gaseous nitrogen to be directly injected into the combustor of a gas turbine in the IGCC. The nitrogen is injected at substantially the same pressure as the output pressure from the nitrogen compressor. The compressor is controlled to adjust the output pressure of the nitrogen to match a nitrogen injection pressure for the combustor. By controlling the flow (pressure) of the nitrogen injected to a combustor of a gas turbine at the nitrogen compressor, the compressor is relieved of having to overcome the pressure loss through the nitrogen injection valves (which valves are run at or near full open throughout the operation of the nitrogen injection process), and does not need to provide nitrogen at a pressure substantially greater than the nitrogen pressure injected into the combustor.

    摘要: A process for generating power from the expansion of steam in a steam turbine system. The steam is generated by at least partially vaporizing pre-heated water by heat exchange against a first fuel gas that is generated exothermically. The at least partially vaporized water is then heated to produce the steam by heat exchange against expanded combustion product gas that is generated by the combustion of a second fuel gas in the presence of compressed oxygen-containing gas and the subsequent expansion of the combustion product gas. The steam is then expanded in a steam turbine system having more than one pressure stage to produce power and an expanded steam stream.

    摘要: An integrated gasification combined cycle plant is combined with a Kalina bottoming cycle. High thermal energy streams 31, 69, 169 from the gasification system are provided in heat exchange relation with the two component working fluid mixture at appropriate locations along the Kalina bottoming cycle units to supplement the thermal energy from the gas turbine exhaust 28 which heats the working fluid supplied to the vapor turbines. Particularly, low temperature heat recovery fluid from the low temperature cooling section 50b of the gasification system lies in heat exchange relation 27 with the condensed working fluid from the distillation/condensation sub-system of the Kalina cycle to preheat the working fluid prior to entry into the heat recovery vapor generator 12. Heat recovery fluid from the high temperature gas cooling section 50a of the gasification system is placed in heat exchange relation 23 and 65 with the working fluid at an intermediate location along the heat recovery vapor generator 12. By supplementing the heat of the gas turbine exhaust with available heat from the gasification system, and optimal integration, increased power output and improved efficiency are obtained.

    摘要: A hydrotreated liquid contains volatile hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and contaminants such as hydrogen sulfide. An inert gas, preferably nitrogen, is used to strip volatiles from the hydrotreated liquid. This stripper gas is then added to fuel gas fed to a combustion turbine, where combustibles in the fuel gas and stripper gas are combusted. The stripping is at a pressure sufficient to allow the stripper gas, now containing hydrocarbons and hydrogen, to be added to the combustion turbine fuel without additional compression. This process allows for efficient use of the stripped combustibles, and the nitrogen added to the fuel, gas provides increased power generation from the combustion turbine and reduces NOx emissions.

    摘要: A gas turbine set with sequential combustion is provided with a waste-heat boiler suitable for the generation of synthesis gas. The gas turbine set then operates with chemical recouperation of the exhaust-gas heat. By means of such a power plant, efficiencies can be achieved which come close to those of combined cycle plants. The highest efficiencies are achieved when, in a gas turbine set with sequential combustion, the reactor gas is fired, for as large a part as possible, in a combustion chamber of a highest pressure stage. In order to achieve a particular rate of conversion of hydrocarbon-containing crude fuel and superheated steam into synthesis gas, the reactor has to be brought to a minimum temperature which may be above the temperature of the expanded working medium of the gas turbine. This temperature increase can be ensured by means of additional firing. The additional firing may also be used for starting the production of synthesis gas when a starting-air device is present.
