Project Description

 

 

Project Description:

GE-EER has developed an innovative; fuel-flexible advanced gasification-combustion (AGC) concept that produces three product streams: H2; CO2; and O2-depleted air.  The objectives of the project are to determine the operating conditions to maximize the conversion of coal; production of H2; and  separation of CO2 and pollutants from vent gas.  Based on the results obtained; economic viability and market potential of the process will be evaluated.  The proposed three-year program will integrate lab-; bench-; and pilot-scale studies to demonstrate the novel AGC concept.  The experimental program will be augmented by engineering and economic analysis along with analytical modeling to develop design tools necessary for scaling up the AGC technology for demonstration.  Since coal and various opportunity fuels will be used; resource assessment and fuel-flexibility tests will also be conducted.

 

Project Background:

JOINT SPONSOR:



This project;  selected under Vision 21 Second Round solictation in FY 2000;  is jointly funded  by the following NETL Product Lines:



Product Line Product Manager



Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle Gary Stiegal

Sequestration                                                         Charles Schmidt



GE-EER has developed an innovative; fuel-flexible advanced gasification-combustion (AGC) concept that appears to produce three product streams: H2; CO2; and O2-depleted air.  The AGC module can readily be integrated into a number of Vision 21 power systems; offering the benefits of low cost; high efficiency; and good environmental quality.



In the AGC technology; coal/opportunity fuels are gasified and combusted in presence of steam and air and converted into separate streams of (1) hydrogen that can be utilized in fuel cells; (2) sequestration-ready CO2; and (3) oxygen-depleted air at high pressure/high temperature that can be used in a gas turbine to produce electricity.  The process appears to produce near-zero emissions and a theoretical thermal efficiency up to 93% based on the fuel high heating value.
