ICCI Abstract
The overall goal of this program is to develop a new sorbent based pre-combustion carbon capture technology for Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plants. This technology provides the highest net plant efficiency and lowest increase in cost of electricity of any CO2 capture technology that is currently in-use or under development.
In Phase 1 of the program, Gas Technology Institute (GTI): a) procured Illinois #6 coal, b) prepared an existing bench gasifier for generation of syngas from Illinois coal for testing, c) performed testing of TDA Research Inc. (TDA) units with simulated and actual coal syngas to obtain reactor design data, and d) performed reactor design for 0.1-MWe prototype.
The objectives for the upcoming Phases 2-4, continuing Phase 1 work, are as follows:
• Phase 2 (Year 2): a) conduct bench gasifier testing for the production of syngas, b) fabricate single desulfurization and shift reactors, c) evaluate two desulfurization sorbents and three Water Gas Shift (WGS) catalysts to obtain design data, and c) complete fabrication of the desulfurization/WGS subsystem using design for the 0.1-MWe unit.
• Phase 3 (Year 3): a) complete functional testing of the 0.1-MWe desulfurizer/WGS subsystem and ship to TDA for integration with the TDA CO2 capture system, and b) assist TDA for successfull demonstration of the 0.1-MWe system at National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC).
• Phase 4 (Year 4): a) assist TDA for successful field demonstration at Sinopec in China, and b) validate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model developed in Year 1 with NCCC and Sinopec field test data for design scaleup of megawatt-scale CO2 capture systems.
With Phase 1 already completed the total program will be accomplished in three years.
