Syngas turbine

摘要

A syngas turbine (10) comprises a combustor (12) for reacting a hydrocarbon fuel (14) with at least one of an oxidant (16) and steam (18) at an elevated temperature and pressure to produce a synthesis gas (20) enriched with carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. A turbo-expander (22) is in flow communication with the combustor (12) for extracting work from and for quenching the synthesis gas (20).
