Abstract: An integrated ITM micromixer burner shell and tube design for clean combustion in gas turbines includes an oxy-fuel micromixer burner for separating oxygen from air within the burner to perform oxy-combustion, resulting in an exhaust stream that consists of CO2 and H2O. The shell and tube combustion chamber is designed so that preheated air enters a headend having an array of ion transfer membrane (ITM) tubes that separate oxygen from the preheated air and anchor flamelets on the shell side. The combustion products of the oxy-fuel flamelets expand through a turbine for power generation, before H2O is separated from CO2 by condensation. A portion of the effluent CO2 is compressed back into the burner system, while the remainder is captured for sequestration/utilization.

Abstract: The power turbine system includes two power turbines communicating with an ion transport membrane (ITM) reactor. Heavy liquid fuel is atomized and burned within the reactor to drive the first turbine, with the first turbine producing useful power. Exhaust from the first turbine is recycled back into the reactor. The reactor includes a series of concentric cylindrical ion transport membranes that separate atmospheric and exhaust gases into suitable components for combustion therein, with at least some of the gases being “cracked” to alter their molecular structure for further combustion to power the second turbine. The second turbine drives a compressor to supply air to the reactor. At least one of the ITMs precludes atmospheric nitrogen from the combustion processes, with the resulting exhaust including pure water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is either recycled into the reactor to facilitate fuel atomization, or compressed for sequestration.
