O2GenOptimization of Oxygen-based CFBC Technology with CO2 capture
Project under EU 7th FPstarted 10/2012, duration 3 yearstotal budget 11.9 M€ (EU contribution 6.6 M€)
Consortium contains 11 partners4 companies and 7 research organisationsfrom Spain (5), Finland (3), France (1), Italy (1) and Poland (1)

O2GenOptimization of Oxygen-based CFBC Technology with CO2 capture
The project objective is to demonstrate the concept of the 2nd
generation oxyfuel combustion that reduce significantly (around50%) the overall efficiency penalty of CO2 capture into powerplants, from approximately 12 to 6 %-points.The efficiency improvements will be achieved by
the use of higher O2 concentrations in oxyfuel combustion reducingthe flue gas recirculation and energy penalty (also enabling boilersize reduction and thus cost reductions)integration of ASU (air separation unit) and CPU (CO2 processingunit) with the power plant reducing energy penaltiesmore efficient oxygen production, and CO2 purification andcompression steps
As a result, conceptual design for 600 MWe scale 2nd generationoxygen-fired CFB power plant will be created

Motivation:Decrease the costs of CCS and making the way to towards competitivecommercialization of oxy-CFB based CCS technology

Fuel impulse testsObjectives and test matrix
Objectives in fuel impulse tests are to solve how high O2 concentrations
affect the
• char reactivity of coal
• emission (NO, CO, SO2) formation

Bench scale fuel impulse tests: O2 responses
• When the oxygen concentration inprimary and secondary gasincreases combustion rateincreases
• Combustion of volatiles, chargasification and combustion occuralmost simultaneously in highoxygen combustion, whereas inlow concetrations and with largerparticles these phases separate
• Combustion of bituminous coaloccurs faster compared toanthracite due to higher volatilecontent of fuel
99
Bench scale fuel impulse tests: Temperature, CO
• Peak temperature increases along with the increase in oxygen concentration• Char gasification in CO2 environment increases CO formation
• CO formation is controlled by feeding secondary gas• The less oxygen is fed
• the more CO forms• the longer CO forms
1010
Fuel impulse tests: Nitrogen emission formation
NO formation:• The rate of NO formation increases
along with the increase in oxygenfeed.
• Formation of NO strictly follows theincrease in temperature.
• There no significant change in totalamount of N released although therate of NO formation increases
• In 50% oxygen feed N2Oformation increases and NOformation decreases

CFB-pilot testsAnthracite-petcoke blend
Test matrix with anthracite/petcoke blend contained 7 tests:Test 1: air reference, medium temperatureTest 2: oxyfuel 28% (ref. to 1st generation design), medium temperatureTests 3-5: oxyfuel 42% (ref. to 2nd generation design), 3 temperature levelsTest 6-7: Oxyfuel 42%, oxygen staging (prim. O2 share 60...80%)
Total feed gas flow and prim./sec. gas share (fluidisation conditions)were constantAlso Ca/S-ratio (limestone calcium to fuel sulphur ratio, mol/mol) waskept as constant as possible

CFB-pilot testsSO2 formation and capture – calcination/carbonation
At low temperature and high CO2 partial pressure, CaCO3 is not calcined to CaO (direct sulfation to CaSO4)From the bottom ash analysis it can be seen that poor sulphur capture in test 5 was due to slow directsulfation of CaCO3 (main part remained as CaCO3)

CFB-pilot testsFormation of nitrogen oxides
NO and N2O emissions were clearly higher in air-firingIn high-O2 tests:
NO was higher and N2O lower than in 28% oxyfuel at comparable conditionsNO increased and N2O decreased with increasing temperatureO2-staging had relatively small effect on NO or N2O
