SYSTEMS FOR REDUCING COOLING WATER AND POWER CONSUMPTION IN GASIFICATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ASSEMBLING SUCH SYSTEMS

摘要

An integrated gasification combined cycle system is provided. The integrated gasification combined cycle system includes an air compressor coupled in flow communication to an air separation unit, a condensate heater coupled in flow communication with the air compressor, and a condenser coupled in flow communication with the condensate heater. The condensate heater and the air compressor are coupled such that a portion of compressed air generated by the air compressor is channeled to the condensate heater. A method of assembling an integrated gasification combined cycle system is also provided.
