Abstract: A method for flue gas treatment includes branching part of a flue gas stream emitted from a gas turbine from an upstream side or a downstream side of an exhaust heat recovery boiler and subjecting the branched part to combustion with a fuel in an auxiliary boiler so as to increase carbon dioxide concentration in the branched part prior to recombining the flue gas stream from the auxiliary boiler with the remaining part of the flue gas stream from the gas turbine to form a combined flue gas stream having a carbon dioxide concentration for efficient recovery in a carbon dioxide recovery apparatus.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for treating a mixture of hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide gas produced from a hydrocarbon reservoir. The system includes a gas power turbine adapted to burn the produced gas mixture of hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide gas with oxygen as an oxidizing agent and a capture system to collect the exhaust gas from the power turbine. An inlet compressor receives exhaust gas from the capture system and compresses the exhaust gas for injection of the exhaust gas into a hydrocarbon reservoir and for recycle to the power turbine. The system may further include a membrane system that preferentially removes carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide from the produced gas stream before said stream is used as fuel gas in the power turbine. The carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide removed by the membrane system is combined with the exhaust gas, and the combined gas is injected into a hydrocarbon reservoir.
Abstract: A method for flue gas treatment includes causing a combustion in a boiler using at least a part of a flue gas emitted from a gas turbine and introduced from at least one of an upstream side and a downstream side of an exhaust heat recovery boiler, which recovers a high-temperature heat of the flue gas, so as to increase a concentration of carbon dioxide in the flue gas, and recovering carbon dioxide in a carbon dioxide recovery apparatus.
