Abstract:
A process of generating electrical power comprising:a) providing a hydrocarbon liquid to a stripper at a pressure between about 100 psi and about 3000 psi, said hydrocarbon liquid comprising dissolved volatile hydrocarbons and dissolved hydrogen gas, b) contacting the hydrocarbon liquid with a stripper gas, thereby transferring at least a portion of the volatile hydrocarbons and hydrogen to the stripper gas; c) separating the stripper gas from the hydrocarbon liquid; d) conveying said stripper gas and a fuel gas to a combustion turbine, e) combusting said fuel gas and the said stripper gas at a pressure of between about 100 psi and about 500 psi, thereby producing an exhaust gas; f) expanding the exhaust gas though a combustion turbine expander which is connected to a generator, thereby generating electrical power.
