Abstract

A system and method for generating power having a partial oxidation turbine system and a primary turbine system. The partial oxidation turbine system receives a first air stream and a fuel stream and then partially oxidizes said fuel stream to produce a partially oxidized fuel stream. The primary turbine system receives the partially oxidized fuel stream and a second air stream and then combusts said partially oxidized fuel stream to produce rotating shaft power and an emission stream.
