The primary gas is desulfurized and converted in increasing portion into methanol which is stored as the load on the power plant increases. An increasing proportion of the stored methanol is used in addition to desulfurized primary gas in the power plant as the load on the power plant increases.Field of SearchIncluding production of withdrawable product or steam for external useOf accommodating, fluctuating or peak loads Including mixing or separating materials of different chemical compositions in a motive fluid flow path Including vaporizing a motive fluid other than water Motive fluid comprises a material other than steam or water Including heat, steam, or compressed gas storage means Producing power by heating and cooling a single phase fluid Single state motive fluid energized by indirect heat transfer |
