Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technologies

Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Technologies discusses this innovative power generation technology that combines modern coal gasification technology with both gas turbine and steam turbine power generation, an important emerging technology which has the potential to significantly improve the efficiencies and emissions of coal power plants. The advantages of this technology over conventional pulverized coal power plants include fuel flexibility, greater efficiencies, and very low pollutant emissions. The book reviews the current status and future developments of key technologies involved in IGCC plants and how they can be integrated to maximize efficiency and reduce the cost of electricity generation in a carbon-constrained world. The first part of this book introduces the principles of IGCC systems and the fuel types for use in IGCC systems. The second part covers syngas production within IGCC systems. The third part looks at syngas cleaning, the separation of CO2 and hydrogen enrichment, with final sections describing the gas turbine combined cycle and presenting several case studies of existing IGCC plants. Provides an in-depth, multi-contributor overview of integrated gasification combined cycle technologiesReviews the current status and future developments of key technologies involved in IGCC plantsProvides several case studies of existing IGCC plants around the world INDICE: 1 An overview of IGCC systems Part 1: Fuel types for use in IGCC systems 2 Utilization of coal in IGCC systems 3 Petroleum coke (petcoke) and refinery residues 4 Biomass for use in IGCC systems 5 Municipal wastes and other potential fuels for use in IGCC systems Part 2: Syngas production and cooling 6 The air-separation unit in IGCC systems 7 Introduction to gasification for IGCC systems 8 Major gasifiers for IGCC systems 9 Syngas cooling in IGCC systems Part 3: Syngas cleaning, separation of CO2 and hydrogen enrichment 10 Wet scrubbing and gas filtration of syngas in IGCC systems 11 Acid gas removal from syngas in IGCC systems 12 Mercury removal and other aspects of syngas clean-up in IGCC systems 13 The water-gas shift (WGS) reaction in IGCC systems 14 Hydrogen production in IGCC systems Part 4: The gas turbine combined cycle 15 The gas turbine combined cycle in IGCC systems 16 The gas turbine in IGCC systems 17 The heat recovery steam generator in IGCC systems 18 The steam turbine in IGCC systems 19 By-products from the integrated gas combined cycle in IGCC systems 20 Integration of carbon capture in IGCC systems 21 Dynamic IGCC System Simulator Part 5: Case studies of existing IGCC plants 22 Case study: Tampa Electric Integrated Gasification Combined-Cycle Project, USA 23 Case study: Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project, USA 24 Case study: Nuon - Buggenum, The Netherlands 25 Case study: ELOGAS Puertollano IGCC Power Plant, Spain 26 Case study: ISAB Energy IGCC Plant, Italy 27 Case study: Sarlux IGCC Power Plant, Italy 28 Case study: Nakoso IGCC power plant, Japan 29 Case study: Kemper County IGCC Project, USA 30 The current status and future prospects for IGCC systems
