Gasification-combined power plant

A gasification-combined power plant which comprises:

• a gasification apparatus for partially oxidizing a carbon-containing fuel with an oxygen-containing gas at a high temperature and under a high pressure;
• a gas turbine driven by combustion of a high temperature fuel gas generated in said gasification apparatus;
• an exhaust heat recovery boiler for recovering heat from a high-temperature gas at an outlet of said gas turbine;
• a steam turbine driven by steam produced by heat recovered respectively at said gasification apparatus and said exhaust heat recovery boiler;
• a gas clean-up apparatus for purifying at a high temperature the high-temperature fuel gas generated by said gasification apparatus, said gas cleanup apparatus being positioned downstream from said gasification apparatus;
• a dust collector for removing char and dust from the fuel gas;
• and
• a gas separation apparatus for simultaneously removing substantially all of the trace gas components from the fuel gas by way of dry physical adsorption, said gas separation apparatus being positioned downstream from said dust collector, and comprising a plurality of adsorption towers with an adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing trace gas components, a first conduit system to lead flue gas without trace gas components to a combustor of said turbine, and a second conduit system to lead trace gas components desorbed from said adsorbent to a gas disposal apparatus, wherein the dry physical adsorption of said gas separation apparatus is carried out with a pressure swing adsorption method in which trace gas components are adsorbed by said adsorbent using high pressure conditions at the gasification apparatus, and desorbed and removed therefrom by pressure reduction.
