POWER-AND-CATALYST COGENERATION PLANT Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: cogeneration of electricity and commercial aromatic hydrocarbons from comprehensive fraction of light hydrocarbons, gas condensates, etc. SUBSTANCE: plant is built around gas- turbine drive, electric generator with starting gas turbine, and combustion chamber of gas- turbine driven generator. Exhaust-gas path of gas turbine accommodates intermediate-pressure combustion chamber, intermediate heaters for product and starting material mixture of catalyst path, and recovery boiler. Reformer catalyst circuit connected to gas-turbine drive incorporates a number of series-connected reactors with fixed catalyst. Primary starting- material heater is installed at outlet of mixture gas products from last reactor, and fine temperature controls of reactors are placed downstream of intermediate heaters. Three high-, intermediate, and low-pressure product separators and two catalyst-reaction gaseous fraction accumulators can be interconnected and connected to starting-turbine path. Plant is designed for multiple off-line starting and cogeneration of industrial electricity and commercial catalysts. EFFECT: improved efficiency of starting material, complete use of gaseous fraction obtained, improved separation of liquid catalyst from gases. 6 cl, 1 dwg
