Abstract:

The objective of this project was to investigate the impact on performance and cost of coal based gasification plant of the installation and operation of CO₂ capture equipment at high pressure. This involved:

Establishing three design cases. A medium pressure CO₂-in Base Case, a medium pressure CO₂-removed case and a high pressure CO₂-removed case

Outline the advantages and risks of high pressure IGCC operation compared to medium pressure

Carry out an assessment to identify areas in which improvements to equipment are desirable and, if possible, propose solutions. Address expected problem areas namely the operation of lockhoppers at high pressure

Develop a device giving improved accuracy in the measurement of dense phase coal flow
