Definitions

  • a technical advantage of the present invention is that it provides a feasible use of high-sulfur, high- nitrogen, low-BTU natural gas for electrical power generation.
  • Another technical advantage of the present invention is that it minimizes environmental pollutants that typically arise in natural gas exploration and refining. Prior methods of producing natural gas often flare or burn off the low-BTU sour natural gas to the atmosphere. This process releases undesirable pollutants to the atmosphere. Instead of burning the low-BTU natural gas off to the atmosphere, the present invention makes it economically attractive to refine and use the low-BTU natural gas. Using the low-BTU natural gas for electrical power generator results in releasing fewer air pollutants into the atmosphere than occurs when the low- BTU natural gas is flared or burned.

Abstract

Procédé de production d'énergie électrique utilisant du gaz naturel sulfureux présentant une teneur élevée en sulfure et un pouvoir calorifique brut inférieur à 750 BTU par pied carré dans un moteur à combustion interne tel qu'une installation de production d'énergie électrique à turbine à gaz. Le procédé consiste à extraire le soufre du gaz naturel sulfureux pour produire un gaz naturel désulfuré présentant un pouvoir calorifique brut inférieur à 750 BTU par pied carré. Ce gaz naturel désulfuré et à faible pouvoir calorifique alimente ensuite le moteur à combustion interne, dont la puissance dégagée est appliquée à un générateur électrique qui produit de l'énergie électrique.
