Abstract
In a power generating plant including a gas turbine which utilizes fuel gas from an oxygen blown gasifier for combustion at a predetermined pressure to drive a primary load, and where the fuel gas is supplied from the gasifier at a pressure higher than the predetermined pressure, an arrangement is provided to decrease the pressure of the fuel gas to a lower pressure required by the gas turbine. This arrangement includes a combustor and an expander downstream of the combustor, the combustor and the expander located between the gasifier and the gas turbine.
