Overview INTEGRATED GASIFICATION COMBINED CYCLE COMBINED CYCLE GASIFICATION PRODUCE SYNGAS POWER GENERATION LOW EMISSION HIGH EFFICIENCY
IGCC Plants in the US The Wabash River IGCC Project West Terre Haute, Indiana, 1995 Using: The ConocoPhillips E-Gas Gasification process Output: 262 MWe The Tampa Electric IGCC Project Mulberry, Florida, 1996 Using: GE Energy Gasification Output: 250 MWe
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT • Improve gasifier performance • Improve gas turbine efficiency • Improve the heat exchanger system • Reducing cost of air separation unit or switch to air blown process as Japan did • Optimize energy saving in IGCC • Improve control of the integrated system
CONCLUSION • Promising technology in early development • Substitute for current coal fired power plant • Need more R&D to make it more competitive • Prospect of zero emission from coal
