A system () includes a modular exhaust collector () configured to be arranged in a first orientation () or a second orientation (). The modular exhaust collector () is configured to receive an exhaust flow along an inlet axis (), to direct the exhaust flow along a first direction () through an outlet () when in the first orientation (), and to direct the exhaust flow along a second direction () through the outlet () when in the second orientation (). The modular exhaust collector () includes an exhaust passage () to receive the exhaust flow, a plurality of compressor discharge (CD) ports (), a plurality of flow ports (), a bottom face () opposite the outlet () with a first drain (), and a first side wall () with a second drain () between the bottom face () and the outlet (). Each CD port () is disposed a first radial distance () from the inlet axis (), and each flow port () is disposed a second radial distance () from the inlet axis ().

Turbine exhaust collector

In one embodiment, a method includes gasifying a fuel source using a first oxygen stream supplied from an air separation unit (ASU), discharging a gasifier blowdown from a gasification and scrubbing system configured to gasify the fuel source, generating a grey water from the gasifier blowdown, and biologically treating the grey water in a reactor using a second oxygen stream supplied by the ASU.

Gasification waste water treatment using air separation unit oxygen

The present application and the resultant patent provide an integrated gasification combined cycle system. The integrated gasification combined cycle system may include a gas turbine engine, one or more power plant components, one or more carbon dioxide compressors, and a vapor absorption chiller. The vapor absorption chiller is driven by a waste heat source flow from the carbon dioxide compressors to produce a chilling medium flow to cool the power plant components.
