  • Patent number: 8806849
    Abstract: A method of operating a turbine engine system and a turbine engine system are provided. The method comprises supplying a flow of oxygen to a combustion chamber defined within a plurality of turbines coupled serially together within the turbine engine system, supplying a flow of hydrocarbonaccous fuel to the combustion chambers of each of the plurality of turbines in the turbine engine system, and supplying a working fluid to an inlet of a first turbine engine coupled within the turbine engine system, wherein the working fluid is substantially nitrogen-free and wherein each of the turbines coupled within the turbine engine system is operable with the resulting fuel-oxygen-working fluid mixture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 30, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 19, 2014
    Assignees: The University of Wyoming, General Electric Company

  • Publication number: 20100024378
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine system is provided. The gas turbine engine system includes a gas turbine engine and an exhaust gas conditioning system. The gas turbine engine includes at least one combustion chamber and at least one turbine downstream from the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is coupled in flow communication to a source of hydrocarbonaceous fuel and to a source of oxygen. The gas turbine engine is operable with a working fluid that is substantially nitrogen-free. The exhaust gas conditioning system is coupled between a discharge outlet of the gas turbine engine and an inlet of the gas turbine engine.

  • Publication number: 20100024433
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine system is provided. The gas turbine engine system includes a gas turbine engine, an exhaust gas conditioning system, and a sequestration chamber. The gas turbine engine includes at least one compressor, at least one combustion chamber downstream from the compressor, and at least one turbine downstream from the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is coupled in flow communication to a source of hydrocarbonaceous fuel and to a source of oxygen. The gas turbine engine is operable with a working fluid that is substantially nitrogen-free. The exhaust gas conditioning system is coupled between a discharge outlet and an inlet of the gas turbine engine. The exhaust gas conditioning system receives all of the exhaust discharged from the gas turbine engine. The sequestration chamber stores carbon dioxide and is coupled to the gas turbine engine for receiving working fluid bled from the turbine upstream from combustion chamber.
