Patent EP-1007473-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ASEN KNUT INGVAR
IPC: B01D53/22
Filed: 1997-07-02
Abstract: A method is provided for performing catalytic or non-catalytic processes which uses oxygen supplied from the permeate side of a mixed oxygen ion and electron conducting membrane by means of a sweep gas at an elevated temperature. The sweep gas is formed by burning fuel in a sweep gas preheater. The sweep gas containing oxygen picked up from the membrane is reacted with a hydrocarbon fuel in a catalytic reactor to form a syngas containing nitrogen and hydrogen. The nitrogen and hydrogen containing syngas is worked up into ammonia; the ammonia is burned in an ammonia burner to produce a nitrogen oxides containing gas, and the nitrogen oxides containing gas is used in the production of nitric acid. The process is able to directly transfer the oxygen containing sweep gas to the catalytic reactor, without any intermediate cooling; recompression and reheating.

Title: Closed loop steam cooled steam turbine
Inventor: BANNISTER RONALD L
IPC: F02C7/16
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: A power plant in which hydrogen and oxygen are combusted to produce a flow of high pressure, high temperature steam. The steam is expanded in a high pressure turbine employing closed steam loop cooling for the stationary vanes and rotating blades. A heat recovery steam generator produces the cooling steam by transferring heat from the expanded steam exhausting from the high pressure turbine to feed water. The cooling steam is directed through cooling passages formed in the vanes and blades of the turbine and the heated cooling steam is collected and returned to the cycle by directing it to the combustors where it serves to moderate temperature. Steam used to cool the intermediate and low pressure vanes and blades of the high pressure turbine is directed to an intermediate pressure turbine for cooling and expansion. An intermediate pressure combustor further heats the cooling steam prior to its expansion in the intermediate pressure turbine.
