<p>A method of producing electric power using sour natural gas that contains a high sulfur content and a gross heating value of less than 750 BTUs per cubic foot in an internal combustion engine such as a gas turbine electric power generating plant. The method entails removing sulfur from the sour natural gas to produce a de-sulfurized low-BTU natural gas having a gross heating value of less than 750 BTUs per cubic foot. Next, the method requires flowing the de-sulfurized low-BTU natural gas to the internal combustion engine. The method further includes operating the internal combustion engine to burn the de-sulfurized, low-BTU natural gas and, then, directing the output energy from the combustion engine to an electrical generator for generating electrical energy.</p> |
