System and method for producing hydrogen rich fuel

A system for providing hydrogen enriched fuel, comprising:

• a. a low pressure compressor, wherein the low pressure compressor produces a first compressed working fluid;
• b. a combustor downstream of the low pressure compressor;
• c. a low pressure turbine downstream of the combustor;
• d. a high pressure compressor in fluid communication with the low pressure compressor, wherein the high pressure compressor receives a portion of the first compressed working fluid and produces a second compressed working fluid having a higher pressure than the first compressed working fluid;
• e. a reformer downstream of the high pressure compressor, wherein the reformer receives the second compressed working fluid and produces a reformed fuel;
• f. a high pressure turbine downstream of the reformer, wherein the high pressure turbine receives the reformed fuel and produces a cooled reformed fuel;
• g. a first shaft connecting the high pressure turbine to the high pressure compressor and providing a driving engagement between the high pressure turbine and the high pressure compressor;
• and
• h. a fuel skid in fluid communication with the high pressure turbine and the combustor, wherein the fuel skid provides a flow path for the cooled reformed fuel from the high pressure turbine to the combustor.

A method for providing hydrogen enriched fuel, comprising:

• a. diverting a portion of a first compressed working fluid from a first compressor to a second compressor;
• b. providing a second compressed working fluid from the second compressor;
• c. mixing a fuel with the second compressed working fluid in a reformer to produce a reformed fuel;
• d. flowing the reformed fuel through a second turbine to cool the reformed fuel;
• and
• e. connecting the second turbine to the second compressor so that the second turbine drives the second compressor.
