Abstract
An integrated air separation and power generation process produces an O -enriched gas stream and an N -enriched gas stream in an air separation unit. The O -enriched gas stream is introduced with fuel and steam to a combustor, producing flue gas. At least a portion of the flue gas and steam stream exiting the combustor is used to generate power. The N -enriched gas stream is heated and power is generated from the heated N -enriched gas stream.
