• For IGCC reference plant:
– 784 MW (gross) unit, 464 MW is from CTs and 320 MW is from the ST
– Only ~1/3 of total output is from steam turbine, so condenser cooling water make-up needs are
Water ConsumptionIGCC vs PC

condenser cooling water make-up needs are decreased by ~2/3
• No FGD system with IGCC, so no need for water to produce limestone slurry

Water and Wastewater Discharges
• IGCC design typically based on significant re-use and recycling of process water discharges
• Zero liquid discharge systems are common
12
– Vapor recompression systems
– Evaporator-crystallizers
– Ammonium chloride brine cake for disposal
• May be a hazardous material depending on contaminants, requiring appropriate disposal,

Water Shift Reaction
• Low concentration of CO2 in syngas
• Must be increased for efficient removal
• By adding steam to the syngas, over a catalyst bed, the CO in the syngas is converted to CO

Impact of CO2 Pipeline Specification on Sulfur Removal
• Pipeline specification for H2S/COS may require additional capacity in acid gas removal system or CO2

CO2 > 95% 95% > 95% >97%

• Options for increasing CO2 purity include:
– Increase pressure to improve Selexol CO2 capture efficiency
– Add post-capture purification of CO2 through compression / liquefaction / gas separations / pumping
– Use Rectisol process

What Happens When CO2 Compressor or CO2 Pipeline is Out of Service?
• Option 1 - CO2 stream could be vented– CO and H2S/COS in stream may require thermal oxidizer ($$$
for capital and operation)
• Option 2 - Inject CO2 as diluent in CTs (instead of N2)– need to maintain Modified Wobbe Index
21
– need to maintain Modified Wobbe Index
• control heating value, specific gravity and temperature of fuel/diluent mixture
• Option 3 - Shut down/bypass water shift reactor and combust “normal” syngas (with N2 diluent) in CTs– need capability to switch from H2 to syngas at full load
– steam flow imbalances

Hybrid IGCC – an Option for IGCC with CO2 Capture
• Produce syngas in gasification area
• Use water shift reaction to produce high concentrations of H2 and CO2
• Capture the CO2 from the syngas
• Methanate the syngas to synthetic natural gas
23
• Methanate the syngas to synthetic natural gas (SNG)
• Combust SNG in conventional combined cycle or send to pipeline
• Compress the CO2 for sequestration or use in enhanced oil recovery

Hybrid IGCC
• Overall conversion rate of coal to gaseous fuel is lower than for conventional IGCC
• Two-thirds of the carbon in the coal is removed in a concentrated CO2 stream
• Limited ability to respond to CO compressor or
25
• Limited ability to respond to CO2 compressor or CO2 pipeline outages– CTs are designed for NG/SNG, but not syngas
– CO2 capture system must stay in service
– CO2 not viable as diluent in CT
– CO2 stream must be vented; thermal oxidizer may be required
