Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation system is operated with a cryogenic air separation system which produces oxygen used in a gasification system to produce fuel gas for the IGCC combustion turbine and pressurized nitrogen which is introduced into the combustor for control of nitrogen oxides and increased combustion turbine output. The air separation system produces argon as an additional product, and the air separation system preferably operates in the feed pressure range of about 100 to about 160 psia. The compressed air feed for the air separation system and the compressed combustion air for the IGCC system are provided independently in separate compression …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 6, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended March 6, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 6, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
