Disclosed herein is a power generation process in which a portion of the carbon dioxide generated by gaseous fuel combustion is recycled back to the power generation process, either pre-combustion, post-combustion, or both. The power generation process of the invention may be a combined cycle process or a traditional power generation process. The process utilizes sweep-based membrane separation.

1. A process for controlling carbon dioxide exhaust from combustion of a gaseous fuel, comprising: (a) performing a combined cycle power generation process, comprising (i) performing a combustion step by combusting a mixture comprising a gaseous fuel and an oxygen-containing gas, thereby generating a combustor exhaust stream comprising carbon dioxide and nitrogen,(ii) routing the combustor exhaust stream as at least a portion of a working gas stream to a gas turbine, thereby generating electrical power and creating a turbine exhaust stream,(iii) withdrawing from the gas turbine a first portion of the turbine exhaust stream at a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure;(iv) routing the first portion of the turbine exhaust stream to a boiler, thereby generating steam and creating a first boiler exhaust stream,(v) routing the steam to a steam turbine, thereby generating additional electrical power;(b) routing the first boiler exhaust stream to a membrane-based carbon dioxide capture step, wherein the capture step comprises (i) providing a first membrane having a first feed side and a first permeate side, and being selectively permeable to carbon dioxide over nitrogen and to carbon dioxide over oxygen,(ii) passing the first boiler exhaust stream across the first feed side,(iii) withdrawing from the first permeate side a partially concentrated carbon dioxide first permeate stream,(iv) withdrawing from the first feed side a carbon dioxide-depleted first residue stream;(c) routing the first residue stream to a sweep-based membrane separation step, wherein the sweep-based membrane separation step comprises (i) providing a second membrane having a second feed side and a second permeate side, and being selectively permeable to carbon dioxide over nitrogen and to carbon dioxide over oxygen,(ii) passing the first residue stream across the second feed side,(iii) passing air, oxygen-enriched air, or oxygen as a sweep stream across the second permeate side,(iv) withdrawing from the second feed side a second residue stream that is depleted in carbon dioxide compared to the feed gas,(v) withdrawing from the second permeate side a second permeate stream comprising oxygen and carbon dioxide;(d) passing the second permeate stream back to the power generation process;(e) passing the second residue stream to an expander unit,(f) withdrawing from the gas turbine a second portion of the turbine exhaust stream at approximately atmospheric pressure;(g) routing the second portion of the turbine exhaust stream to the boiler, thereby generating steam and creating a second boiler exhaust stream; and(h) routing the second boiler exhaust stream back to the power generation process as a recycle gas stream. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the turbine exhaust stream is withdrawn at a pressure within the range of about 2 bar to about 5 bar. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the second permeate stream is routed back to the power generation process prior to the combustion step, as part of the oxygen-containing gas provided to the combustion step. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein the oxygen-containing gas provided to the combustion step comprises at least 15 volume % oxygen. 5. The process of claim 1, wherein the combustor exhaust stream comprises at least 2 volume % oxygen. 6. The process of claim 1, wherein the process recovers at least 80 volume % of the carbon dioxide generated by the combustion step into a partially concentrated carbon dioxide product stream. 7. The process of claim 6, wherein the partially concentrated carbon dioxide product stream contains at least 20 volume % carbon dioxide. 8. The process of claim 1, wherein the first membrane exhibits a selectivity for carbon dioxide over oxygen of at least 10. 9. The process of claim 1, wherein the second membrane exhibits a selectivity for carbon dioxide over oxygen of at least 10.
