- Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1, illustrating the installation of Figure 1, when the gas turbine is stopped;
- FIG. 3 is an anaTogue " aTa FIG. 17 view illustrating an installation in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, in normal operation of the gas turbine;
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, illustrating the installation of Figure 3, when the gas turbine is stopped.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 The installation represented in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises a gas turbine, generally designated by the reference 2, which comprises, in a conventional manner, an air compressor 4, an expansion turbine 6, coupled to the compressor 4 , as well as a combustion chamber 8.
- This gas turbine 2 is also provided with an alternator 10, driven by a shaft 12, common to the compressor 4 as well as to the turbine 6.
- FIG. 1 also comprises an air separation unit, of known type, designated as a whole by the reference 14.
- the inlet of this separation unit 14 is supplied with air by a pipe 16, communication with the discharge circuit 5 of the compressor 4.
- This pipe 16 is equipped with a valve 17, as well as a flow sensor 18.
- the separation unit operates by cryogenics and for this purpose comprises several distillation columns not shown.
- a line 20 makes it possible to evacuate, out of unit 14, a first stream W of residual nitrogen.
- This stream contains at least 90%, preferably at least 95 mol% of nitrogen, as well as a few% of oxygen.
- This line 20 opens into a compressor 22, downstream of which extends a pipe 24, which is provided with a valve 26 and opens into the combustion chamber 8.
- Line 32 allows 14, an oxygen-rich GOX gas stream, which contains at least 70%, preferably at least 80 mol%, of oxygen.
- This pipe 32 opens into a compressor 34, downstream of which extends a line 36, provided with a valve 38.
- This line 36 opens into a gasifier 40, of the conventional type, which is supplied by a reservoir, not shown, containing carbon products, such as coal.
- a pipe 42 fitted with a valve 44, connects the pipe 16 and the line 36.
- a line 46 which extends downstream of the gasifier 32, conveys the combustible gas resulting from the oxidation of the abovementioned carbon products.
- This line 46 which is equipped with a valve 48, is placed in communication with the combustion chamber 8 of the gas turbine.
- the senor 18 is connected to the valves 26, 30, 38 and 44, by respective control lines, shown in phantom, which are assigned references 26 ', . 30 ', 38' and 44 '.
- the air separation unit 14 receives compressed air from the compressor 4 and produces, in a conventional manner, two gas streams, enriched respectively with nitrogen and oxygen, which are conveyed by line 20 and line 32.
- the oxygen-enriched gas stream is admitted to the gasifier 40, which also receives carbon products such as coal.
- the oxidation carried out in this gasifier 40 leads to the production of combustible gas, delivered by line 46, which feeds the combustion chamber 8 of the gas turbine.
- the latter moreover receives, via line 24, the current " gaseous HAI enriched in nitrogen, as well as, via line 5, the compressed air coming from compressor 4.
- the gases coming from the corresponding combustion, mixed with nitrogen waste are sent to the inlet of the expansion turbine 6, or they relax by driving the latter. This also allows, via the shaft 12, the drive of the compressor 4 as well as of the alternator 10, which supplies for example an electrical distribution network not shown.
- the sensor 18 detects this drop in flow. Then, it sends signals to the valves 26, 30, 38 and 44, via the control lines 26 ', 30', 38 'and 44'.
- the tilting of these four valves can also be initiated by a sensor, not shown, signaling the shutdown of the turbine.
- the stream enriched in nitrogen, which can be charged with impurities, is advantageously recycled upstream of a conventional purification device. This recycled stream can also be subjected to prior cooling, before being admitted into the separation unit 14.
- the oxygen-enriched current can be delivered to the inlet of this unit 14, without being subjected to purification or to cooling. It should be noted that the mixture of these two streams enriched in nitrogen and oxygen respectively, admitted to the inlet of unit 14, has a composition close to that of air.
- This compressor 50 can also be used for starting the separation unit 14, without using the gas turbine 2, which if necessary makes it possible to start this turbine and this separation unit in parallel.
- This auxiliary compressor 50 is likely to have very small dimensions, so that it is of low cost and that it involves little energy expenditure.
- the various valves 26, 30, 38 and 44 are placed in their initial configuration. This allows to implement the installation, in its arrangement of Figure 1.
- Figures 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the installation according to the invention.
- This variant differs from the installation shown in FIG. 1, in that a compressor 52 is provided, allowing the separation unit 14 to be supplied with air, via a pipe 54.
- the mixture between the air coming from the compressor 52, and the two gas streams enriched in nitrogen and oxygen respectively has a composition close to that of air.
- a unit 56 is provided, making it possible to supply an addition of oxygen, so that the oxygen flow admitted to the inlet of the gasifier does not undergo a sudden decrease. This allows “ not to stop this gasifier, which is advantageous in terms of saving time and energy consumption.
- the fraction of non-recycled nitrogen flowing through line 24 is released to the atmosphere.
- the valve 26 is closed, while the gas turbine is stopped.
- the respective charges of the separation unit 14 and of the gasifier 40 can be gradually reduced, once these recycling operations have been implemented. In this way, it is possible to gradually reduce I ⁇ ⁇ cletr ⁇ t gas streams, recycled via line 28 and line 42, as well as the flow of oxygen supplied by the booster unit 56. Once this recycling stopped , the supply of the gasifier can again be ensured solely by the oxygen flowing in line 36.
- the invention makes it possible to achieve the objectives mentioned above.
- the Applicant has found that the loss of purity of the products extracted from the separation unit, as well as the untimely stoppages of the latter, are mainly due to the sudden decreases in the air flow, admitted at the entrance separation unit. However, such abrupt reductions are linked to malfunctions, or even to the shutdown of the gas turbine, the compressor of the latter then no longer supplying the separation unit.
