초록 ▼

The invention is directed to a method of fueling gas turbines from natural gas reserves with relatively low methane concentrations. The invention uses such reserves to generate electric power. The invention permits the use of these reserves at significantly lower cost than by producing pipeline natural gas to fuel gas turbines to generate electric power. These reserves currently generally are used only after the removal of impurities to produce pipeline natural gas quality turbine fuel. The latter current technology is capital intensive, and at current natural gas prices, economically unattractive. The process of the invention can remove the impurities from the gas from the natural gas reserve necessary for protection of the environment and leaves inert gasses in the fuel in an amount which will increase the output of a gas turbine for the generation of power by about 5 to about 20%.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of fueling a gas turbine with methane gas from natural gas reserves having from about 40 to about 80 volume percent methane, the method comprising: providing a natural gas stream from the natural gas reserve; separating inert gases from methane gas in the natural gas stream to provide a separated methane gas and a separated inert gas/methane gas blend wherein the separation is made such that when the inert gas methane gas blend is used as turbine fuel there is an amount of inert gases in the blend which is effective for permitting the blend to increase an output of the gas turbine by at least about 5 percent as compared to a turbine fueled with pipeline quality natural gas. 2. A method of fueling a gas turbine with methane gas from natural gas reserves having from about 40 to about 80 volume percent methane, the method comprising; providing a first natural gas stream from the natural gas reserve; separating inert gases from methane gas in the first natural gas stream to provide a separated methane gas and a separated inert gas/methane gas blend having less than about 40 volume percent methane; removing at least one acid component from the separated inert gas/methane gas blend to provide a sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend; mixing the sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend and water to provide a hydrated sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend, the water in the hydrated sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend being in an amount effective for permitting the conversion of a portion of the methane in the sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend to hydrogen gas and effective for providing a flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend; catalytically converting a portion of the methane to hydrogen gas in the hydrated sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend to provide a hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend, the conversion effective for providing the flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend; dehydrating hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend to provide flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend; and fueling a gas turbine with the dehydrated flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend. 3. The method for fueling a gas turbine as recited in claim 2 wherein the methane in the hydrated sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend is catalytically converted using a shift catalyst selected from the group consisting of iron/chrome/copper, copper/zinc/aluminum and mixtures thereof. 4. The method as recited in claim 3 wherein the sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend does not have more than about 35 volume percent methane and the dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend comprises from about 6 to about 10 volume percent hydrogen gas. 5. A method of fueling a gas turbine with methane gas from natural gas reserves having from about 40 to about 80 volume percent methane, the method comprising; providing a first natural gas stream from the natural gas reserve; separating inert gases from methane gas in the first natural gas stream to provide a separated methane gas and a separated inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend having less than about 40 volume percent methane; mixing the separated inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend and water to provide a hydrated inert enhance inert gas/methane gas blend, the water in the hydrated sweet inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend being in an amount effective for permitting the conversion of a portion of the methane in the inert enhance inert gas/methane gas blend to hydrogen gas and effective for providing a flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas hydrogen gas blend; catalytically converting a portion of the methane to hydrogen in the inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas/water blend to provide a hydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend, the conversion effective for providing the flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend; dehydrating hydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend to provide flame stable dehydrated inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend; and fueling a gas turbine with the flame stable dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend. 6. The method for fueling a gas turbine as recited in claim 5 wherein the methane in the inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas/water blend is catalytically converted using a chrome/molybdenum catalyst. 7. The method as recited in claim 6 wherein the inert enhanced inert gas/methane gas blend does not have more than about 35 volume percent methane and the dehydrated hydrogen enhanced inert gas/methane gas/hydrogen gas blend comprises from about 6 to about 10 volume percent hydrogen gas.
