Integrated Gasification

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle and Pressurized Fluidized-Bed Combustion power systems have made it possible to use coal while still protecting the environment. Such power systems virtually eliminate the pollutants associated with coal-fired plants built before the 1970’s. Superior environmental performance and high system efficiency requires that gas stream cleanup be conducted under high temperature and high pressure process conditions. To realize this high system efficiency, particulate cleanup levels must meet gas turbine particulate tolerance limits. Discussed below are some of the particulate cleanup requirements and challenges for these advanced power systems. Also presented is the work underway to support particulate cleanup technology and the Clean Coal Technology (CCT) Program through pilot-scale testing and filter component development.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Fossil Energy Turbine Program is implementing a new research program to develop turbines for integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) systems that capturer CO2. On September 8, 2005 the U.S. DOE Office of Fossil Energy announced a $130 million investment of government money in turbine related technology to promote the development of IGCC power systems that can capture CO2 and minimize the emissions of criteria pollutants. These funds will be matched at various levels by the industry partners. In part through this investment the FE Advanced Turbine Program is designed to attain three primary goals: 1) By 2010 develop advanced coal based power systems capable of 45–50% efficiency at < $1000 / kW, 2) By 2012, develop technologies for capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide that result in less than 10 percent increase in the cost of electricity and 3) By 2015 demonstrate coal based energy plants that offer zero emissions (including CO2) w/ multi product production. The program has an additional primary objective to provide turbine based technology for the FutureGen Project. To attain these goals the program is organized into four areas: H2 fueled turbines for IGCC and FutureGen applications, Oxy-fuel turbines for IGCC and FutureGen applications; MW-scale H2 fueled turbines and CO2 compression technology. The paper will report on the program goals, status of these new projects and early progress towards these goals and objectives.

Under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Energy/National Energy Technology Laboratory, a multidisciplinary team led by the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) has identified a high performance biomass gasification/combined cycle system using Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) as the major fuel resource. The system consists of fuel receiving/preparation/feed, advanced transport gasifier, high temperature gas cleanup and Pratt & Whitney Power Systems FT8 aero-derivative gas turbine with heat recovery steam generator and steam turbine. One of the team members, Connecticut Resource Recovery Agency (CRRA), currently processes approximately 2200 tons/day of municipal solid waste and delivers 1825 tons/day of RDF “across the fence” to a nominal 65 MWe steam plant. Based on the characteristics of the RDF from this plant, an 80 MWe combined cycle system having an estimated efficiency of 45% (RDF in/kW out) was identified. Other advanced cycle variations had even greater performance potential. The resulting cost of electricity for the biomass integrated gasification combined cycle (BIGCC) is competitive with that of natural gas fueled combined cycles, and the plant is projected to meet or exceed all environmental requirements.

Integrated Gasification

The Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF) is an engineering scale demonstration of advanced coal-fired power systems and high-temperature, high-pressure gas filtration systems that would be integral to an improved coal-fired power plant having efficiencies well over 40%, while exceeding all current emission standards for coal-fueled plants. The paper will describe such a plant before expanding the discussion on the operational experiences of the Kellogg Brown & Root, Inc. (KBR) Transport Reactor and the Siemens Westinghouse Power Corporation (SWPC) high-temperature gas filter system currently being demonstrated at the PSDF. A short survey of the process advantages (capital, operational, efficiency, and reliability) over current Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant designs, including hot gas clean-up, air-blown gasification, non-slagging gasifier operation and equipment commonality with existing pulverized coal power plants, will be highlighted; as will the potential of the power plant to be retrofitted in response to future carbon capture requirements.
