Power is generated and liquid hydrocarbons are prepared in a process in which less than 70%v of a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is converted by means of a hydrocarbon synthesis carried out above 300 DEG C. From the reaction product are separated a liquid fraction which comprises the desired hydrocarbons and a gaseous fraction which, in addition to unconverted carbon monoxide and hydrogen, comprises light hydrocarbons formed during the synthesis and which latter fraction is combusted. The combustion gas is used for generating power in a gas turbine. High pressure steam is produced from water by pre-heating, vaporization and superheating by using the hot exit gas of the gas turbine. At least part of the reaction heat from the hydrocarbon synthesis is used in the vaporization stage of the steam production. The high-pressure steam is used for generating power in a steam turbine. |
