Abstract
A system includes a gas turbine. The gas turbine includes a first compressor configured to provide a first portion of a discharge air to a combustor. The gas turbine also includes the combustor configured to combust a mixture of the first portion of the discharge air and fuel to generate an exhaust gas and to provide the exhaust gas to a turbine. The gas turbine also includes an exhaust outlet coupled to the turbine and configured to enable the exhaust gas to exit the gas turbine. The system also includes a nitrogen purification system coupled to the gas turbine. The nitrogen purification system includes a membrane nitrogen generator configured to receive a second portion of the discharge air from the compressor or a portion of the exhaust gas from the exhaust outlet, wherein the membrane nitrogen generator is configured to generate nitrogen from the second portion of the discharge air or the portion of the exhaust gas.
