摘要 |
The present invention relates to a process for the production of electric energy, steam and carbon dioxide in concentrated form from a hydrocarbon feedstock (1) comprising formation of synthesis gas in an air driven autothermal reactor unit (ATR) (6), heat exchanging the formed synthesis gas (8) and thereby producing steam (10), treating at least part of the synthesis gas (8) in a conversion reactor unit (12), carbon dioxide absorber (16) and carbon dioxide desorption unit (19) for formation of concentrated carbon dioxide and a lean hydrogen-containing gas, which is then at least partially combusted in a combined cycle gas turbine (24) for the production of electric energy. Air from said turbine unit (24) is supplied to the autothermal reactor unit (ATR) (6). The exhaust (26) from the gas turbine (24) is heat exchanged for production of steam, which together with steam (10) generated upstream the conversion reactor unit (12) is utilized in an electric generator (32) for the production of substantially COi2-free electric energy. |
