System for generating syngas and an associated method thereof

A system comprising:

• a mixing unit configured to mix a hydrocarbon fuel, an oxidant, and water to generate a fuel mixture;
• a heat exchanger coupled to the mixing unit and configured to receive the fuel mixture and evaporate the water by heating the fuel mixture, using a hot fluid, to generate a heated fuel mixture;
• an engine coupled to the heat exchanger and configured to receive the heated fuel mixture and generate an exhaust syngas by partially combusting the heated fuel mixture;
• a turbine coupled to the engine through a first exhaust manifold;
• a condenser coupled to the turbine through a second exhaust manifold, wherein the condenser is configured to receive an expanded exhaust syngas stream from the turbine through the second exhaust manifold and generate a separated syngas stream and condensed water from the expanded exhaust syngas by a condensation process;
• a compressor coupled to the condenser and configured to compress the separated syngas stream to produce a pressurized separated syngas;
• a catalytic converter coupled to the compressor and configured to receive the pressurized separated syngas from the compressor;
• a recuperator coupled to the compressor and the catalytic converter, wherein the second exhaust manifold extends from the turbine to the condenser through the heat exchanger and the recuperator, wherein the second exhaust manifold is configured to transfer the exhaust syngas in a heat exchange relationship with the fuel mixture in the heat exchanger, wherein the second exhaust manifold is further configured to transfer the exhaust syngas in a heat exchange relationship with the pressurized separated syngas in the recuperator;
• and wherein the recuperator is positioned upstream of the catalytic converter.
