  • Patent number: 12502636
    Abstract: A CO2 capture system includes an intake for CO2-rich exhaust gas to a compressor and one or more outlets for compressed, first CO2-rich gas to a manifold to a shell enclosing parts of a combustion chamber. The combustion chamber has burners to burn fuel and compressed air from a fuel line and an air supply pipe, to form a second, CO2 rich gas. The wall in the combustion chamber has slits to let in the compressed CO2-rich gas to mix with and cool the other CO2-rich gas formed in the combustion chamber of a third CO2-rich exhaust gas. A heat exchanger operates under high pressure and heat exchanges the third, hot CO2-rich exhaust gas from the combustion chamber with returning CO2-poor exhaust gas from a CO2 extraction plant. The returned, heated CO2-poor exhaust gas is led back to an expander driving the compressor and the CO2 extraction plant.

  • Patent number: 7559977
    Abstract: A method for separation of CO2 from the combustion gas from a thermal power plant fired with fossil fuel, wherein the combustion gas from the thermal power plant is used as cooled, compressed and reheated by combustion of natural gas in a combustion chamber to form an exhaust gas, where the exhaust gas is cooled an brought in contact with an absorbent absorbing CO2 from the exhaust gas to form a low CO2 stream and an absorbent with absorbed CO2, and where the low CO2 stream is heated by means of heat exchanges against the hot exhaust gas leaving the combustion chamber before it is expanded in turbines, is described. A plant for performing the method and a combined plant is also described.

  • Publication number: 20080173588
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for desalination of seawater (5, 30) and separation of CO2 from exhaust (77) from a gas turbine (7). LNG (4) is fed into a heat exchanger (6) in which it receives heat from seawater (5) and heat from steam (27) from an exhaust boiler, and heat from combustion air (3) via a line to an air inlet (33) of said gas turbine (7), for evaporating LNG (4) to gas which is fed to a gas export module (10) and to a fuel gas skid (8) for supplying said gas turbine (7) with fuel. Thus said combustion air (3, 28) at the air inlet to said gas turbine (7) obtains a lowered temperature and increases an efficiency of said gas turbine (7). Said CO2-rich exhaust gas (77) from said gas turbine (7) is fed into a process unit (17) having an inlet (35a) with a fan (35b) and an outlet for CO2-reduced exhaust (13). Said cooled seawater from said heat exchanger (6) is fed into said process unit (17) via a coaxial feed pipe (67) for seawater and NH4OH arranged in said process unit (17).

  • Publication number: 20080087328
    Abstract: A method for transport of natural gas through a pipeline from a gas field to a terminal, where there is a risk of condensation of heavy hydrocarbon components in the pipeline during the transport, wherein dry gas is added to the natural gas to reduce the cricondentherm and the cricondentherm of the gas and thus prevent condensation in the pipeline, is described. A plant for carrying out the method is also described.

  • Publication number: 20050166569
    Abstract: A method for the generation of electrical power from a carbonaceous fuel, wherein the fuel is combusted in presence of oxygen under increased pressure in a combustion chamber is described. The exhaust gas from the combustion is separated into a CO2 rich fraction that is handled so that it does not escape to the surroundings, and a CO2 depleted fraction that is expanded over one or more turbines to power other processes and/or generation of electrical power, before the gas is released into the surroundings, where the temperature in the combustion chamber is reduced under the generation of steam that is expanded over steam turbines connected to electrical generator for the generation of electrical power. Additionally a thermal power plant for the performing of the method is described.

  • Publication number: 20020197115
    Abstract: The present invention provides heave compensation through a riser tensioner for a marine riser (8) supported from a sea vessel (100) supporting a cylinder barrel (11) with a mainly vertically arranged cylinder axis (110). The cylinder is provided with a piston (12) with an outer diameter corresponding to the cylinder barrel (11) and arranged coaxially inside the cylinder barrel (11). The cylinder barrel (11) has a larger diameter than the riser (8). The cylinder barrel (11) has an upper end (5) communicating with the atmosphere through a vent channel (6c) from a volume (6a) above the piston (12), the vent channel (6c) and the volume (6a) arranged for being air-filled, excerting an atmospheric pressure downwards on the piston (12).
