A process is provided, which comprises transforming a synthesis gas into a liquid fuel, producing a fuel gas using the liquid fuel and a first gas, the first gas having an oxygen content less than that of ambient air, and contacting the fuel gas with a second gas, the second gas comprising at least
A process is provided, which comprises transforming a synthesis gas into a liquid fuel, producing a fuel gas using the liquid fuel and a first gas, the first gas having an oxygen content less than that of ambient air, and contacting the fuel gas with a second gas, the second gas comprising at least one oxidizing agent, to form a combustion gas. Systems for carrying out the process are also provided.

1. A process for operating an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant, the IGCC plant comprising a gasifier for gasifying coal to produce syngas, a syngas combustion system for combusting the syngas to produce electricity, and a premixed combustion system for combusting a combustion gas
1. A process for operating an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant, the IGCC plant comprising a gasifier for gasifying coal to produce syngas, a syngas combustion system for combusting the syngas to produce electricity, and a premixed combustion system for combusting a combustion gas other than syngas to produce additional electricity, the process comprising: operating the gasifier to produce synthesis gas at a substantially constant rate less than a rate sufficient for the syngas combustion system to produce enough electricity to meet a peak electrical demand;when a current demand for electricity is below a base load that could be produced by supplying syngas to the syngas combustion system at the substantially constant rate, supplying a first portion of the synthesis gas from the gasifier to the syngas combustion system sufficient to meet the current electrical demand, andtransforming a second portion of the synthesis gas into liquid fuel and storing the liquid fuel; andwhen a current demand for electricity is above the base load that could be produced by supplying synthesis gas to the syngas combustion system at the substantially constant rate, supplying all of the syngas from the gasifier to the syngas combustion system to meet a first portion of the current demand,producing, using the liquid fuel stored when the demand for electricity was below the base load, a fuel gas by vaporizing the liquid fuel and combining it with a first gas, the first gas having an oxygen content less than that of ambient air,contacting the fuel gas with a second gas, the second gas comprising at least one oxidizing agent, to form the combustion gas, andcombusting the combustion gas in the premixed combustion system to produce sufficient electricity to meet a second portion of the current demand. 2. The process of claim 1 further comprising producing the synthesis gas from a carbon source selected from the group consisting of coal, lignite, brown coal, anthracite, sub-bituminous coal, particulate carbon, fossil fuels, solid hydrocarbons, liquid hydrocarbons, residual oil, low API gravity fuel oil, tar sand oil, shale oil, VacResid, petroleum coke, petroleum bottoms, asphalt, API asphalt, coke residue, natural gas, wax, waste, bitumen, ORIMULSION™, biomass, carbohydrates, cellulosistics, peat, corn, straw, wood, wood residues, manure, sewage sludge, rice hulls, rice straw, oat hulls, pine tree bark, tires and/or tire derived fuel, furfural residue, oat hulls, switchgrass, olive waste, salsa, whole tree waste, sugar cane bagasse, undigested dried sewage sludge, digested dried sewage sludge, carpet manufacturing selvage, post consumer carpet, chicken litter, turkey litter, laminate flooring dust, urban green waste, pulp sludge, corn stover, ethanol plant dried, distiller's grains, and a mixture thereof. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein transforming the synthesis gas into liquid fuel comprises a Fischer-Tropsch process. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein the liquid fuel is vaporized before contacting it with the first gas. 5. The process of claim 1, wherein liquid fuel is vaporized by contacting it with the first gas. 6. The process of claim 1, wherein the first gas stream comprises one or more of inert gas, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, NOx, SOx, hydrocarbon, methane, ethane, propane, butane, ammonia, gas supplied by an air separator unit, exhaust gas, hot exhaust gas, cold exhaust gas, synthesis gas or a combination thereof. 7. The process of claim 1, wherein the oxygen content in the first gas stream is sufficiently low such that combustion of the fuel gas is not supported. 8. The process of claim 1, wherein the first gas stream contains substantially no oxygen. 9. The process of claim 1, wherein the oxygen content in the first gas stream is sufficiently low such that autoignition of the combustion gas is delayed or reduced. 10. The process of claim 1, further comprising, prior to producing the fuel gas, sending the liquid fuel to a storage vessel, storing the liquid fuel in the storage vessel for a period of time, and removing the liquid fuel from the storage vessel. 11. The process of claim 1, further comprising, prior to producing the fuel gas, transporting the liquid fuel by truck, rail, pipeline, or ship, or a combination thereof. 12. The process of claim 1, wherein the combustion gas is formed prior to arrival at a flame front in a combustion device. 13. The process of claim 1, wherein the IGCC plant further comprises an air separation unit, the process further comprising: supplying an oxygen-rich gas stream from the air separation unit to the gasifier; andusing a nitrogen-rich gas stream from the air separation unit as the first gas when producing the fuel gas. 14. The process of claim 1, wherein the IGCC plant includes a single gasifier.
