  • Clean power generation using IGCC process
    Patent number: 5715671
    Abstract: An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) process and plant are provided in which an improvement in overall thermodynamic efficiency can be achieved by increasing the proportion of power generated by gas turbine(s) to that generated by steam turbine(s). This is achieved by placing an exothermic catalytic reactor downstream of the gasifier to pre-heat the gas turbine fuel gas which is supplemented by the addition of non-combustible gas.
