So2 Gas

In the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) process, the sulfur compounds present in coal are converted to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) when the coal is gasified. Due to its harmful effects on sorbent/solvent and environmental regulations, H2S needs to be removed from the product gas stream. To simulate the H2S removal process, desulfurization was carried out using a dry sorbent as a fluidizing material within a bubbling, high-temperature fluidized bed reactor. The ZnO-based sorbent showed not only an excellent capacity of H2S removal but also long-term stability. However, unexpected SO2 gas at a concentration of several hundred ppm was detected during the desulfurization reaction. Thus, we determined that there is an unknown source that supplies oxygen to ZnS, and identified the oxygen supplier through three possibilities: oxygen by reactant (fresh sorbent, ZnO), byproduct (ZnSO4), and product (H2O). From the experiment results, we found that the H2O produced from the reaction reacts with ZnS, resulting in SO2 gas being generated during desulfurization. The unknown oxygen source during desulfurization was deduced to be oxygen from H2O produced during desulfurization. That is, the oxygen from produced H2O reacts with ZnS, leading to SO2 generation at high temperature.

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.

The Cost

In this study a new multi-generation system which generates power (electricity), thermal energy (heating and cooling) and ash for agricultural needs has been developed and analysed. The system consists of a Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC) and an absorption chiller system. The system generates about 3.4 MW electricity, 4.9 MW of heat, 88 kW of cooling and 90 kg/h of ash. The multi-generation system has been modelled using Cycle Tempo and EES. Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of this system had been conducted and exergy costs have been calculated. The exergoeconomic study shows that gasifier, combustor, and Heat Recovery Steam Generator are the main components where the total cost rates are the highest. Exergoeconomic variables such as relative cost difference (r) and exergoeconomic factor (f) have also been calculated. Exergoeconomic factor of evaporator, combustor and condenser are 1.3%, 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively, which is considered very low, indicates that the capital cost rates are much lower than the exergy destruction cost rates. It implies that the improvement of these components could be achieved by increasing the capital investment. The exergy cost of electricity produced in the gas turbine and steam turbine is 0.1050 £/kWh and 0.1627 £/kWh, respectively. The cost of ash is 0.0031 £/kg. In some Asian countries, such as Indonesia, ash could be used as fertilizer for agriculture. Heat exergy cost is 0.0619 £/kWh for gasifier and 0.3972 £/kWh for condenser in the BIGCC system. In the AC system, the exergy cost of the heat in the condenser and absorber is about 0.2956 £/kWh and 0.5636 £/kWh, respectively. The exergy cost of cooling in the AC system is 0.4706 £/kWh. This study shows that exergoeconomic analysis is powerful tool for assessing the costs of products.

In order to investigate the necessary device improvements for high-temperature CO sensing with SiC metal insulator semiconductor field effect transistor (MISFET)-based chemical gas sensors, devices employing, as the gas-sensitive gate contact, a film of co-deposited Pt/Al2O3 instead of the commonly used catalytic metal-based contacts were fabricated and characterized for CO detection at elevated temperatures and different CO and O2 levels. It can be concluded that the sensing mechanism at elevated temperatures correlates with oxygen removal from the sensor surface rather than the surface CO coverage as observed at lower temperatures. The long-term stability performance was also shown to be improved compared to that of previously studied devices.
