METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING POWER PLANT EMISSIONS

摘要

A method for operating a power plant to facilitate reducing emissions, wherein the power plant includes a gas turbine engine assembly and a carbon dioxide (CO2) separator. The method includes increasing an operating pressure of exhaust gas discharged from the gas turbine engine assembly, separating substantially all the CO2 entrained within the gas turbine engine utilizing the CO2 separator to produce a CO2 lean airstream, reducing the operating temperature of the CO2 lean airstream, and utilizing the cooled CO2 lean airstream to facilitate reducing an operating temperature of air entering the gas turbine engine assembly.
