  • Patent number: 11084719
    Abstract: A process for generating power using a gas turbine, comprising the steps of: (i) vaporising and pre-heating liquid ammonia to produce pre-heated ammonia gas; (ii) introducing the pre-heated ammonia gas into an ammonia-cracking device suitable for converting ammonia gas into a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen; (iii) converting the pre-heated ammonia gas into a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen in the device; (iv) cooling the mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen to give a cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture; (v) introducing the cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture into a gas turbine; and (vi) combusting the cooled hydrogen and nitrogen mixture in the gas turbine to generate power.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7163648
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a hydrogen- and nitrogen containing gas mixture, where a mixture of steam and a carbon containing gas is fed to the retentate side of at least one hydrogen transport membrane syngas and sweep gas generator where said gas and steam are converted to synthesis gas. A part of the hydrogen in said synthesis gas is transported through the membrane to the permeate side in said generator where it reacts with oxygen in an air stream fed to said permeate side to generate heat and a nitrogen and steam containing gas.

  • Patent number: 6235262
    Abstract: A process for the production of hydrogen rich gas by soot free autothermal steam reforming of a hydrogen process gas, wherein the hydrogen rich gas being withdrawn from the autothermal steam reforming process at elevated pressure is depressurized in a gas turbine for generation of valuable power.

  • Patent number: 6216464
    Abstract: A process for the combined production of synthesis gas and power, comprising the steps of primary and secondary steam reforming of a hydrocarbon feedstock, wherein part of the synthesis gas being withdrawn from the secondary steam reforming at high pressure is expanded in a gas turbine for the production of power and the expanded synthesis gas is utilized as fuel in the primary steam reforming step.
