17DV-2949 COMBINED CYCLE APPARATUS FOR SYNTHESIS GAS PRODUCTION A gas turbine, in a combined cycle with a steam turbine, partially oxidizes a hydrocarbon fuel with oxygen and completely react the remainder in the presence of steam. The products of combustion and reaction, after passing through a gas turbine and subsequently through a heat exchanger to produce steam axe processed through gas and liquid separation components including a condenser, a compressor and a cooling tank to provide hydrogen and carbon monoxide which are reacted in a process reactor to produce useful hydrocarbon products, an example of which is methanol. Other products of the separation of the combustion products include water and carbon dioxide. Electric power is produced by the combined cycle which drives a turbogenerator. The turbogenerator output is used to operate all of the motive means which process gases in the cycle. Excess electric power and steam are available for cogeneration use. |
