GAS TURBINE POWER PLANT AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

It is disclosed a method of operating a gas turbine power plant and gas turbine power plant wherein hydrogen (6) for the combusting process is produced by feeding natural gas (14) mixed with steam (15) through a membrane/partial oxidation reactor (4) and converting the natural gas (14) at least to H2 and CO. Thereby oxygen is transferred from the compressed air (3) through the membrane (18) of the membrane/partial oxidation reactor (4) and the oxygen is used for the partial oxidation process of the natural gas (14). The process is followed by converting the syngas in a CO shift reactor (22) and a CO shift reactor (22) to a C02 removal equipment (25) to mainly hydrogen (6).
