ABSTRACT:
A gas turbine engine used to produce electric power is supplied with a fuel from a alcohol fuel producing process. A high pressure syngas left over from the alcohol fuel producing process is passed through a small turbine to drive an electric generator and produce electric power. The low pressure syngas from the turbine is then passed into a combustor of the gas turbine engine to power the gas turbine, which drive a larger electric generator to produce more electric power. The high pressure syngas can be passed through a heat exchanger to preheat the syngas prior to be burned within the combustor. By using the small turbine to reduce the pressure of the high pressure syngas, energy from the high pressure syngas can be extracted instead of wasted.
