INTEGRATED AIR SEPARATION AND POWER GENERATION PROCESS

摘要

An integrated air separation and power generation process produces an O2-enriched gas stream (28) and an N2-enriched gas stream (36) in an air separation unit (22). The O2-enriched gas stream (28) is introduced with fuel and steam to a combustor (12), producing flue gas. At least a portion of the flue gas and steam (18) exiting the combustor (2) is used to generate power (32). The N2-enriched gas steam (36) is heated and power (42) is generated from the heated N2-enriched gas steam.
