Title: Power generation method including membrane separation

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

A method for generating electric power, such as at, or close to, natural gas fields. The method includes conditioning natural gas containing C.sub.3+ hydrocarbons and/or acid gas by means of a membrane separation step. This step creates a leaner, sweeter, drier gas, which is then used as combustion fuel to run a turbine, which is in turn used for power generation.

Process, including PSA and membrane separation, for separating hydrogen from hydrocarbons

Patent Baker, Richard W [Palo Alto, CA]; Lokhandwala, Kaaeid A [Union City, CA]; He, Zhenjie [Fremont, CA]; ...

An improved process for separating hydrogen from hydrocarbons. The process includes a pressure swing adsorption step, a compression/cooling step and a membrane separation step. The membrane step relies on achieving a methane/hydrogen selectivity of at least about 2.5 under the conditions of the process.

Process, including membrane separation, for separating hydrogen from hydrocarbons

Patent Baker, Richard W [Palo Alto, CA]; Lokhandwala, Kaaeid A [Union City, CA]; He, Zhenjie [Fremont, CA]; ...

Processes for providing improved methane removal and hydrogen reuse in reactors, particularly in refineries and petrochemical plants. The improved methane removal is achieved by selective purging, by passing gases in the reactor recycle loop across membranes selective in favor of methane over hydrogen, and capable of exhibiting a methane/hydrogen selectivity of at least about 2.5 under the process conditions.

Oxygen transport membrane reactor based method and system for generating electric power

Patent Kelly, Sean M.; Chakravarti, Shrikar; Li, Juan

A carbon capture enabled system and method for generating electric power and/or fuel from methane containing sources using oxygen transport membranes by first converting the methane containing feed gas into a high pressure synthesis gas. Then, in one configuration the synthesis gas is combusted in oxy-combustion mode in oxygen transport membranes based boiler reactor operating at a pressure at least twice that of ambient pressure and the heat generated heats steam in thermally coupled steam generation tubes within the boiler reactor; the steam is expanded in steam turbine to generate power; and the carbon dioxide rich effluent leaving the boilermore » « less
