- natural gas refers to a multi-component gas obtained from a crude oil well (associated gas) or from a subterranean gas-bearing formation (non- associated gas).
- the composition and pressure of natural gas can vary significantly.
- a typical natural gas stream contains methane (CH 4 ) as a major component, i.e. greater than 50 mol% of the natural gas stream is methane.
- the natural gas stream can also contain ethane (C 2 H 6 ), higher molecular weight hydrocarbons ⁇ e.g., C 3 -C 2 o hydrocarbons), one or more acid gases ⁇ e.g., hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide), or any combination thereof.
- the natural gas can also contain minor amounts of contaminants such as water, nitrogen, iron sulfide, wax, crude oil, or any combination thereof.
- the term “stoichiometric combustion” refers to a combustion reaction having a volume of reactants comprising a fuel and an oxidizer and a volume of products formed by combusting the reactants where the entire volume of the reactants is used to form the products.
- the term “substantially stoichiometric combustion” refers to a combustion reaction having a molar ratio of combustion fuel to oxygen ranging from about plus or minus 10% of the oxygen required for a stoichiometric ratio or more preferably from about plus or minus 5% of the oxygen required for the stoichiometric ratio.
- the stoichiometric ratio of fuel to oxygen for methane is 1 :2 (CH 4 + 202 > CO 2 + 2H 2 0) .
- Propane will have a stoichiometric ratio of fuel to oxygen of 1 :5.
- Another way of measuring substantially stoichiometric combustion is as a ratio of oxygen supplied to oxygen required for stoichiometric combustion, such as from about 0.9: 1 to about 1.1 : 1 , or more preferably from about 0.95 : 1 to about 1.05 : 1.
- stream refers to a volume of fluids, although use of the term stream typically means a moving volume of fluids ⁇ e.g. , having a velocity or mass flow rate).
- stream does not require a velocity, mass flow rate, or a particular type of conduit for enclosing the stream.
- Embodiments of the presently disclosed systems and processes may be used to produce ultra low emission electric power and C0 2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) or sequestration applications.
- a mixture of air and fuel can be stoichiometrically or substantially stoichiometrically combusted and mixed with a stream of recycled exhaust gas.
- the combustor may be operated in an effort to obtain stoichiometric combustion, with some deviation to either side of stoichiometric combustion.
- the combustor and the gas turbine system may be adapted with a preference to substoichiometric combustion to err or deviate on the side of depriving the system of oxygen rather than supplying excess oxygen.
- the stream of recycled exhaust gas generally including products of combustion such as C0 2 , can be used as a diluent to control or otherwise moderate the temperature of the combustion chamber and/or the temperature of the exhaust gas entering the succeeding expander.
- Combustion at near stoichiometric conditions can prove advantageous in order to eliminate the cost of excess oxygen removal.
- a relatively high content C0 2 stream can be produced.
- a portion of the recycled exhaust gas can be utilized for temperature moderation in the closed Brayton cycle, a remaining purge stream can be used for EOR applications and electric power can be produced with little or no SOx, ⁇ , or C0 2 being emitted to the atmosphere.
- FIG. 1 depicts a schematic of an illustrative integrated system 100 for power generation and C0 2 recovery using a combined-cycle arrangement, according to one or more embodiments.
- the power generation system 100 can include a gas turbine system 102 characterized as a power- producing, closed Brayton cycle.
- the gas turbine system 102 can have a first or main compressor 104 coupled to an expander 106 via a shaft 108.
- the shaft 108 can be any mechanical, electrical, or other power coupling, thereby allowing a portion of the mechanical energy generated by the expander 106 to drive the main compressor 104.
- the gas turbine system 102 can be a standard gas turbine, where the main compressor 104 and expander 106 form the compressor and expander ends, respectively. In other embodiments, however, the main compressor 104 and expander 106 can be individualized components in the system 102.
- the gas turbine system 102 can also include a combustion chamber 110 configured to combust a fuel in line 112 mixed with a compressed oxidant in line 114.
- the fuel in line 112 can include any suitable hydrocarbon gas or liquid, such as natural gas, methane, ethane, naphtha, butane, propane, syngas, diesel, kerosene, aviation fuel, coal derived fuel, bio-fuel, oxygenated hydrocarbon feedstock, or combinations thereof.
- the compressed oxidant in line 114 can be derived from a second or inlet compressor 118 fluidly coupled to the combustion chamber 110 and adapted to compress a feed oxidant 120.
- the feed oxidant 120 can include any suitable gas containing oxygen, such as air, oxygen-rich air, oxygen-depleted air, pure oxygen, or combinations thereof.
- the combustion chamber 110 can also receive a compressed recycle stream 144, including an exhaust gas primarily having C0 2 and nitrogen components.
- the compressed recycle stream 144 can be derived from the main compressor 104 and adapted to help facilitate the stoichiometric or substantially stoichiometric combustion of the compressed oxidant in line 114 and fuel in line 112, and also increase the C0 2 concentration in the exhaust gas.
- a discharge stream 116 directed to the inlet of the expander 106 can be generated as a product of combustion of the fuel in line 112 and the compressed oxidant in line 114, in the presence of the compressed recycle stream 144.
- the fuel in line 112 can be primarily natural gas, thereby generating a discharge 116 including volumetric portions of vaporized water, C0 2 , nitrogen, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur oxides (SOx).
- a small portion of unburned fuel or other compounds may also be present in the discharge 116 due to combustion equilibrium limitations.
- the mechanical power generated by the expander 106 may additionally or alternatively be used for other purposes, such as to provide electricity to a local grid or to drive other systems in a facility or operation.
- the power generation system 100 can also include an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system 124.
- the EGR system 124 can include a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) 126, or similar device, fluidly coupled to a steam gas turbine 128.
- HRSG heat recovery steam generator
- the combination of the HRSG 126 and the steam gas turbine 128 can be characterized as a closed Rankine cycle.
- the HRSG 126 and the steam gas turbine 128 can form part of a combined-cycle power generating plant, such as a natural gas combined-cycle (NGCC) plant.
- NGCC natural gas combined-cycle
- the gaseous exhaust stream 122 can be sent to the HRSG 126 in order to generate a stream of steam in line 130 and a cooled exhaust gas in line 132.
- the steam in line 130 can be sent to the steam gas turbine 128 to generate additional electrical power.
- the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 can be sent to at least one cooling unit 134 configured to reduce the temperature of the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 and generate a cooled recycle gas stream 140.
- the cooling unit 134 can be a direct contact cooler, trim cooler, a mechanical refrigeration unit, or combinations thereof.
- the cooling unit 134 can also be configured to remove a portion of condensed water via a water dropout stream 138 which can, in at least one embodiment, be routed to the HRSG 126 via line 141 to provide a water source for the generation of additional steam in line 130.
- the cooled recycle gas stream 140 can be directed to a boost compressor 142 fluidly coupled to the cooling unit 134. Cooling the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 in the cooling unit 134 can reduce the power required to compress the cooled recycle gas stream 140 in the boost compressor 142.
- the boost compressor 142 can be configured to increase the pressure of the cooled recycle gas stream 140 before it is introduced into the main compressor 104. As opposed to a conventional fan or blower system, the boost compressor 142 increases the overall density of the cooled recycle gas stream 140, thereby directing an increased mass flow rate for the same volumetric flow to the main compressor 104. Because the main compressor 104 is typically volume-flow limited, directing more mass flow through the main compressor 104 can result in a higher discharge pressure from the main compressor 104, thereby translating into a higher pressure ratio across the expander 106. A higher pressure ratio generated across the expander 106 can allow for higher inlet temperatures and, therefore, an increase in expander 106 power and efficiency.
- the main compressor 104 can be configured to compress the cooled recycle gas stream 140 received from the boost compressor 142 to a pressure nominally above the combustion chamber 110 pressure, thereby generating the compressed recycle stream 144.
- a purge stream 146 can be tapped from the compressed recycle stream 144 and subsequently treated in a C0 2 separator 148 to capture C0 2 at an elevated pressure via line 150.
- the separated C0 2 in line 150 can be used for sales, used in another process requiring carbon dioxide, and/or compressed and injected into a terrestrial reservoir for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), sequestration, or another purpose.
- EOR enhanced oil recovery
- a residual stream 151 essentially depleted of C0 2 and consisting primarily of nitrogen, can be derived from the C0 2 separator 148.
- the nitrogen- rich residual stream 151 may be vented and/or used directly in one or more operations.
- the residual stream 151 which may be at pressure, can be expanded in a gas expander 152, such as a power-producing nitrogen expander, fluidly coupled to the C0 2 separator 148. As depicted in FIGs.
- the gas expander 152 can be optionally coupled to the inlet compressor 118 through a common shaft 154 or other mechanical, electrical, or other power coupling, thereby allowing a portion of the power generated by the gas expander 152 to drive the inlet compressor 118.
- an exhaust gas in line 156 consisting primarily of nitrogen, can be vented to the atmosphere or implemented into other applications known in the art.
- the expanded nitrogen stream can be used in an evaporative cooling process configured to further reduce the temperature of the exhaust gas as generally described in the concurrently filed U.S.
- the combination of the gas expander 152, inlet compressor 118, and C0 2 separator can be characterized as an open Brayton cycle, or the third power producing component of the system 100.
- the gas expander 152 can be used to provide power to other applications, and not directly coupled to the stoichiometric compressor 118.
- the expander 152 could be adapted to drive a smaller compressor (not shown) that demands less power.
- the gas expander 152 can be replaced with a downstream compressor
- the EGR system 124 as described herein, especially with the addition of the boost compressor 142, can be implemented to achieve a higher concentration of C0 2 in the exhaust gas of the power generation system 100, thereby allowing for more effective C0 2 separation for subsequent sequestration, pressure maintenance, or EOR applications.
- embodiments disclosed herein can effectively increase the concentration of C0 2 in the exhaust gas stream to about 10vol% or higher.
- the combustion chamber 110 can be adapted to stoichiometrically combust the incoming mixture of fuel in line 112 and compressed oxidant in line 114.
- a portion of the exhaust gas derived from the compressed recycle stream 144 can be simultaneously injected into the combustion chamber 110 as a diluent.
- embodiments of the disclosure can essentially eliminate any excess oxygen from the exhaust gas while simultaneously increasing its C0 2 composition.
- the gaseous exhaust stream 122 can have less than about 3.0 vol% oxygen, or less than about 1.0 vol% oxygen, or less than about 0.1 vol% oxygen, or even less than about 0.001 vol% oxygen.
- the inlet compressor 118 can be configured to provide compressed oxidant in line 114 at pressures ranging between about 280 psia and about 300 psia. Also contemplated herein, however, is aeroderivative gas turbine technology, which can produce and consume pressures of up to about 750 psia and more.
- the main compressor 104 can be configured to compress recycled exhaust gas into the compressed recycle stream 144 at a pressure nominally above or at the combustion chamber 110 pressure, and use a portion of that recycled exhaust gas as a diluent in the combustion chamber 110. Because amounts of diluent needed in the combustion chamber 110 can depend on the purity of the oxidant used for stoichiometric combustion or the model of expander 106, a ring of thermocouples and/or oxygen sensors (not shown) can be associated with the combustion chamber or the gas turbine system generally to determine, by direct measurement or by estimation and/or calculation, the temperature and/or oxygen concentration in one or more streams.
- thermocouples and/or oxygen sensors may be disposed on the outlet of the combustion chamber 110, the inlet of the expander 106, and/or the outlet of the expander 106.
- the thermocouples and sensors can be adapted to regulate and determine the volume of exhaust gas required as diluent to cool the products of combustion to the required expander inlet temperature, and also regulate the amount of oxidant being injected into the combustion chamber 110.
- the volumetric mass flow of compressed recycle stream 144 and compressed oxidant in line 114 can be manipulated or controlled to match the demand.
- a pressure drop of about 12-13 psia can be experienced across the combustion chamber 110 during stoichiometric combustion.
- Combustion of the fuel in line 112 and the compressed oxidant in line 114 can generate temperatures between about 2000 °F and about 3000 °F and pressures ranging from 250 psia to about 300 psia.
- a higher pressure ratio can be achieved across the expander 106, thereby allowing for higher inlet temperatures and increased expander 106 power.
- the gaseous exhaust stream 122 exiting the expander 106 can have a pressure at or near ambient. In at least one embodiment, the gaseous exhaust stream 122 can have a pressure of about 15.2 psia.
- the temperature of the gaseous exhaust stream 122 can range from about 1180 °F to about 1250 °F before passing through the HRSG 126 to generate steam in line 130 and a cooled exhaust gas in line 132.
- the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 can have a temperature ranging from about 190 °F to about 200 °F.
- the cooling unit 134 can reduce the temperature of the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 thereby generating the cooled recycle gas stream 140 having a temperature between about 32 °F and 120 °F, depending primarily on wet bulb temperatures in specific locations and during specific seasons.
- the cooling unit may be adapted to increase the mass flow rate of the cooled recycled gas stream.
- the boost compressor 142 can be configured to elevate the pressure of the cooled recycle gas stream 140 to a pressure ranging from about 17.1 psia to about 21 psia.
- the main compressor 104 receives and compresses a recycled exhaust gas with a higher density and increased mass flow, thereby allowing for a substantially higher discharge pressure while maintaining the same or similar pressure ratio.
- the temperature of the compressed recycle stream 144 discharged from the main compressor 104 can be about 800 °F, with a pressure of around 280 psia.
- embodiments including a boost compressor 142 can result in an increase in expander 106 power ⁇ i.e., "Gas Turbine Expander Power" due to the increase in pressure ratios.
- the power demand for the main compressor 104 can increase, its increase is more than offset by the increase in power output of the expander 106, thereby resulting in an overall thermodynamic performance efficiency improvement of around 1% lhv (lower heated value).
- boost compressor 142 can also increase the power output of the nitrogen expander 152, when such an expander is incorporated. Still further, boost compressor 142 may increase the C0 2 pressure in the purge stream 146 line. An increase in purge pressure of the purge stream 146 can lead to improved solvent treating performance in the C0 2 separator 148 due to the higher C0 2 partial pressure. Such improvements can include, but are not limited to, a reduction in overall capital expenditures in the form of reduced equipment size for the solvent extraction process.
- FIG. 2 depicted is an alternative embodiment of the power generation system 100 of FIG. 1, embodied and described as system 200.
- FIG. 2 may be best understood with reference to FIG. 1.
- the system 200 of FIG. 2 includes a gas turbine system 102 coupled to or otherwise supported by an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system 124.
- the EGR system 124 in FIG. 2 can include an embodiment where the boost compressor 142 follows or may otherwise be fluidly coupled to the HRSG 126.
- the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 can be compressed in the boost compressor 142 before being reduced in temperature in the cooling unit 134.
- the cooling unit 134 can serve as an aftercooler adapted to remove the heat of compression generated by the boost compressor 142.
- the water dropout stream 138 may or may not be routed to the HRSG 126 to generate additional steam in line 130.
- the cooled recycle gas stream 140 can then be directed to the main compressor 104 where it is further compressed, as discussed above, thereby generating the compressed recycle stream 144.
- cooling the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 in the cooling unit 134 after compression in the boost compressor 142 can reduce the amount of power required to compress the cooled recycle gas stream 140 to a predetermined pressure in the succeeding main compressor 104.
- FIG. 3 depicts another embodiment of the low emission power generation system 100 of FIG. 1, embodied as system 300.
- FIG. 3 may be best understood with reference to FIGs. 1 and 2.
- the system 300 includes a gas turbine system 102 supported by or otherwise coupled to an EGR system 124.
- the EGR system 124 in FIG. 3, however, can include a first cooling unit 134 and a second cooling unit 136, having the boost compressor 142 fluidly coupled therebetween.
- each cooling unit 134, 136 can be a direct contact cooler, trim cooler, or the like, as known in the art.
- the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 discharged from the HRSG 126 can be sent to the first cooling unit 134 to produce a condensed water dropout stream 138 and a cooled recycle gas stream 140.
- the cooled recycle gas stream 140 can be directed to the boost compressor 142 in order to boost the pressure of the cooled recycle gas stream 140, and then direct it to the second cooling unit 136.
- the second cooling unit 136 can serve as an aftercooler adapted to remove the heat of compression generated by the boost compressor 142, and also remove additional condensed water via a water dropout stream 143.
- each water dropout stream 138, 143 may or may not be routed to the HRSG 126 to generate additional steam in line 130.
- the cooled recycle gas stream 140 can then be introduced into the main compressor 104 to generate the compressed recycle stream 144 nominally above or at the combustion chamber 110 pressure.
- cooling the cooled exhaust gas in line 132 in the first cooling unit 134 can reduce the amount of power required to compress the cooled recycle gas stream 140 in the boost compressor 142.
- further cooling exhaust in the second cooling unit 136 can reduce the amount of power required to compress the cooled recycle gas stream 140 to a predetermined pressure in the succeeding main compressor 104.
