ABSTRACT:
In a coal gasification plant there is a requirement for supplying oxygen to the coal gasifier in order to produce coal gas fuel. An oxygen plant will produce oxygen and nitrogen from an input supply of compressed air. In the presence of a fired gas turbine which is supplied with coal gas fuel, the waste heat from the fired gas turbine may be used to heat compressed air for driving an air cycle turbine. The air cycle turbine in turn drives an air cycle compressor for producing air to the oxygen plant. The nitrogen gas by-product from the oxygen plant is injected into the air cycle for disposal through the air turbine.
