Abstract:
In some implementations, a system may include a compressor, a heat exchanger and an ITM. The compressor is configured to receive an air stream and compress the air stream to generate a pressurized stream. The heat exchanger is configured to receive the pressured stream and indirectly heat the pressurized stream using heat from an oxygen stream from an Ion Transport Membrane (ITM). The ITM is configured to receive the heated pressurized stream and generate an oxygen stream and the non-permeate stream, wherein the non-permeate stream is passed to a gas turbine burner and the oxygen stream is passed to the heat exchanger.

Abstract:
In some implementations, one or more methods can include producing a hydrogen rich fuel gas for a gas turbine ballasted with nitrogen and steam and superheated to a temperature above its dew point. The fuel gas may have a minimal or reduced content of CO 2 or fuel components CO and CH 4 which contain carbon so that when combusted in a suitable gas turbine there may be minimal or reduced emissions of CO 2 to the atmosphere. These example methods may result in a capture of the bulk of the carbon present in the total natural gas feed as CO 2 compressed to pipeline delivery pressure for sequestration.
Abstract:
In various implementations, feed streams that include methane are reacted to produce synthesis gas. The synthesis gas may be further processed to produce ultrapure, high-pressure hydrogen streams.
Abstract:
In various systems and processes, synthesis gas generation may be combined. A partial oxidation reactor (POX) and a gas convectively heated steam/hydrocarbon catalytic reformer (GHR) may be combined to produce synthesis gas. In some implementations, a partial oxidation reactor, a gas convectively heated steam/catalytic reformer, and a waste hat boiler may be combined to produce synthesis gas.

Abstract:
In various implementations, various feed gas streams which include hydrogen and carbon monoxide may be processed for conversion to product streams. For example, the feed gas stream may be processed using the Fisher-Tropsh process or a methanol synthesis process. Unconverted hydrogen and carbon monoxide can be recycled at high recovery and/or inert components removed to prevent build-up in the recycle system by using an arrangement of pressure swing adsorption systems designed to recover impure product gas streams.
Abstract:
The GTLpetrol Process for Maximum H2 Production. The GTLpetrol process uses a proprietary combination of two stage pressure swing adsorption hydrogen purification plus a C02 condensation removal step to give H2 recoveries in the range of 95% to 98% based on H2 + CO from synthesis gas generation.
Abstract:
An integrated plant for the conversion of a hydrocarbon gas such as natural gas to useful hydrocarbon liquid fuels and feed-stocks comprises an H2+CO syn-gas generation system which provides feed gas to a Fischer-Tropsch catalytic hydrocarbon synthesis system with an associated power and heat energy system.
Abstract:
In some implementations, a method for separating components includes receiving off-gas from a Fischer-Tropsch hydrocarbon synthesis reaction process. The off-gas is scrubbed with a light oil at least proximate atmospheric temperature to substantially remove a mixture of C 3 and C 4 . The C 3 and C 4 are separated from the mixture into two separate streams using distillation columns in a Fischer-Tropsch system.
