In cooperation with U.S. Department of Energy’s Morgantown Energy Technology Center, a Westinghouse-led team is working on the second part of an 8-year, Advanced Turbine Systems Program to develop the technology required to provide a significant increase in natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation plant efficiency. This paper reports on the Westinghouse program to develop an innovative natural gas-fired advanced turbine cycle, which, in combination with increased firing temperature, use of advanced materials, increased component efficiencies, and reduced cooling air usage, has the potential of achieving a lower heating value plant efficiency in excess of 60 percent.

Application of coke dry quenching technology provides saving of energy resources, decreasing of environment pollution and increase of metallurgical coke quality. Despite of advantages of coke dry quenching facilities, an additional quantity of circulating gas is generated because of quenching technology peculiarities. This additional circulating gas must be released out of the cooling agent circuit resulting in environment pollution. Existing and proposed methods of reduction of emissions into atmosphere of excess circulating gas considered. It was shown, that utilization of the excess circulating gas as a fuel is the most effective solution of the considered problem. The solution comprise stabilization and support of combustible components composition in the circulating gas at the level of approved indices, joining of excess gas flows out of the dry quenching facility chambers, it enrichment by some amount of high calorie gas (coke or natural) and supply to gas uses. This technical solution was first realized by ArcelorMittal at the coke plant of the steel-works after E. Zendzimir in Krakov, Poland. In 2017 at the EVRAZ NTMK coke plant a project of the dry coke quenching facility modification was realized, comprising utilization of excess circulating gas, which has a considerable technical difference comparing with ArcelorMittal project. According to technology flowsheet, the excess circulating gas is collected  out of operating chambers into a collector, cleaned of dust in a bag filter, chilled, enriched by a high calorie gas and delivered into the gas pipe of BF gas for further utilization as a fuel. To increase efficiency of the technology and to reduce the natural gas consumption for calorie content of enriched gas stabilization and supply it into the BF gas pipe line, the CO and H2 content in the circulating gas of the coke dry quenching facility is kept at the level of 12–15 and 4–5 % correspondently. Implementation of the technical modification of the coke dry quenching facility with elimination of harmful substances emissions within the excess circulating gas provided decrease of harmful substances emissions at JSC EVRAZ NTMK – 4 kg per ton of steel.

This article illustrates aspects of heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) design when employing process integration in an integrated reforming combined cycle (IRCC) with precombustion CO2 capture. Specifically, the contribution of this paper is to show how heat integration in a precombustion CO2 capture plant impacts the selection of HRSG design. The purpose of such a plant is to generate power with very low CO2 emissions, typically below 100 g CO2/net kWh electricity. This should be compared with a state-of-the-art natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) plant with CO2 emissions around 380 g CO2/net kWh electricity. The design of the HRSG for the IRCC process was far from standard because of the significant amount of steam production from the heat generated by the autothermal reforming process. This externally generated steam was transferred to the HRSG superheaters and used in a steam turbine. For an NGCC plant, a triple-pressure reheat steam cycle would yield the highest net plant efficiency. However, when generating a significant amount of high-pressure steam external to the HRSG, the picture changed. The complexity of selecting an HRSG design increased when also considering that steam can be superheated and low-pressure and intermediate-pressure steam can be generated in the process heat exchangers. For the concepts studied, it was also of importance to maintain a high net plant efficiency when operating on natural gas. Therefore, the selection of HRSG design had to be a compromise between NGCC and IRCC operating modes.

Gas Turbine fuel flexibility is becoming an increasingly important global issue. The global power sector is being driven by a complex assembly of customer economics, environmental concerns and global political uncertainties to look at cost-effective gas and liquid fuel alternatives without sacrificing plant efficiency and emissions characteristics. In this climate, fuel flexibility includes natural gas, but also expands to non-traditional fuels. GE’s extensive experience with natural gas, industrial and syngas fuels, as well as biofuels segments are surveyed.
