Background
The goal of Fossil Energy Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) is to ensure the availability of ultra-clean (zero emissions), abundant, low-cost, domestic electricity and energy (including hydrogen) to fuel economic prosperity and strengthen energy security. A broad portfolio of technologies is being developed within the Clean Coal Program to accomplish this objective. Ever increasing technological enhancements are in various stages of the research pipeline, and multiple paths are being pursued to create a portfolio of promising technologies for development, demonstration, and eventual deployment. The technological progress of recent years has created a remarkable new opportunity for coal. Advances in technology are making it possible to generate power from fossil fuels with great improvements in the efficiency of energy use while at the same time significantly reducing the impact on the environment, including the long-term impact of fossil energy use on the Earths climate. The objective of the Clean Coal RD&D Program is to build on these advances and bring these building blocks together into a new, revolutionary concept for future coal-based power and energy production.
Objective To establish baseline performance and cost estimates for todays fossil energy plants, it is necessary to look at the current state of technology. Such a baseline can be used to benchmark the progress of the Fossil Energy RD&D portfolio. This study provides an accurate, independent assessment of the cost and performance for Pulverized Coal (PC) Combustion, Integrated Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC), and Natural Gas Combined Cycles (NGCC), all with and without carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and sequestration assuming that the plants use technology available today.
Approach The power plant configurations analyzed in this study were modeled using the ASPEN Plus (Aspen) modeling program. Performance and process limits were based upon published reports, information obtained from vendors and users of the technology, cost and performance data from design/build utility projects, and/or best engineering judgment. Capital and operating costs were estimated by WorleyParsons based on simulation results and through a combination of existing vendor quotes, scaled estimates from previous design/build projects, or a combination of the two.
Operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and the cost for transporting, storing, and monitoring (TS&M) carbon dioxide (CO2) in the cases with carbon capture were also estimated based on reference data and scaled estimates. The cost of electricity (COE) was determined for all plants assuming investor-owned utility (IOU) financing. The initial results of this analysis were subjected to a significant peer review by industry experts, academia and government research and regulatory agencies. Based on the feedback from these experts, the report was updated both in terms of technical content and revised costs.
Results This independent analysis of fossil energy plant cost and performance is considered to be the most comprehensive set of publicly available data to date. While input was sought from technology vendors, the final assessment of performance and cost was determined independently, and may not represent the views of the technology vendors. The extent of collaboration with technology vendors varied from case to case, with minimal or no input from some vendors. Selection of system components and plant configurations from potential options and the rapid escalation in labor and material costs made it a challenge to develop state-of-the-art configurations and cost estimates. The rigorous expert technical review and systematic use of existing vendor quotes and project design/build data to develop the cost estimates in this report are believed to provide the most up-to-date performance and costs available in the public literature. The main purpose of publishing Revision 2 is to update performance and economic results. New data from technology vendors was incorporated into the modeling approach, owners costs were added to the financial model, and supplemental chapters were added that extend beyond the original report scope. The following are highlights of the study:
- Coal-based plants using todays technology are capable of producing electricity at relatively high efficiencies of about 39 percent, higher heating value ([HHV], without CO2 capture) on bituminous coal while meeting or exceeding current environmental requirements for criteria pollutants.
- Total overnight cost (TOC) for the non-capture plants are as follows: NGCC, $718/kW; PC, $2,010/kW (average); IGCC, $2,505/kW (average). With CO2 capture, capital costs are: NGCC, $1,497/kW; PC, $3,590/kW (average); IGCC, $3,568/kW (average).
- At fuel costs of $1.64/MMBtu of coal and $6.55/MMBtu of natural gas, the COE for the non-capture plants is: 59 mills/kWh for NGCC, 59 mills/kWh for PC (average), and 77 mills/kWh (average) for IGCC.
- When todays technology for CO2 capture and sequestration (CCS) is integrated into these new power plants, the resultant COE, including the cost of CO2 TS&M, is: 86 mills/kWh for NGCC; 108 mills/kWh (average) for PC; and 112 mills/kWh (average) for IGCC. The cost of transporting CO2 50 miles for storage in a geologic formation with over 30 years of monitoring is estimated to add about 3 to 6 mills/kWh. This represents less than 5.5 percent of the COE for each CO2 capture case.
- A sensitivity study on natural gas price shows that at a coal price of $1.64/MMBtu, the average COE for IGCC with capture equals that of NGCC with CO2 capture at a gas price of $9.80/MMBtu. The average COE for PC with capture equals that of NGCC with capture at a gas price of $9.25/MMBtu. In terms of capacity factor (CF), when non-capture NGCC drops to 40 percent, such as in a peaking application, the COE is comparable to non-capture IGCC operating at base load (80 percent CF).
Fossil Energy RD&D aims at improving the performance and cost of clean coal power systems including the development of new approaches to capture and sequester greenhouse gases (GHGs). Improved efficiencies and reduced costs are required to improve the competitiveness of these systems in todays market and regulatory environment as well as in a carbon constrained scenario. The results of this analysis provide a starting point from which to measure the progress of RD&D achievements.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
The objective of this report is to present an accurate, independent assessment of the cost and performance of fossil energy power systems, specifically integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), pulverized coal (PC), and natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) plants, using a consistent technical and economic approach that accurately reflects current market conditions. This is Volume 1 of a four volume report. The four volume series consists of the following:
- Volume 1: Bituminous Coal and Natural Gas to Electricity
- Volume 2: Coal to Synthetic Natural Gas and Ammonia (Various Coal Ranks)
- Volume 3: Low Rank Coal and Natural Gas to Electricity
- Volume 4: Bituminous Coal to Liquid Fuels with Carbon Capture The cost and performance of the various fossil fuel-based technologies will most likely determine which combination of technologies will be utilized to meet the demands of the power market. Selection of new generation technologies will depend on many factors, including:
- Capital and operating costs
- Overall energy efficiency
- Fuel prices
- Cost of electricity (COE)
- Availability, reliability, and environmental performance
- Current and potential regulation of air, water, and solid waste discharges from fossil-fueled power plants
- Market penetration of clean coal technologies that have matured and improved as a result of recent commercial-scale demonstrations under the Department of Energys (DOE)
Clean Coal Programs Twelve power plant configurations were analyzed as listed in Exhibit ES-1. The list includes six IGCC cases utilizing General Electric Energy (GEE), ConocoPhillips (CoP), and Shell Global Solutions (Shell) gasifiers each with and without carbon dioxide (CO2) capture; four PC cases, two subcritical and two supercritical (SC), each with and without CO2 capture; and two NGCC plants with and without CO2 capture. Two additional cases were originally included in this study and involve production of synthetic natural gas (SNG) and the repowering of an existing NGCC facility using SNG. The two SNG cases were subsequently moved to Volume 2 of this report resulting in the discontinuity of case numbers (1-6 and 9-14).
While input was sought from various technology vendors, the final assessment of performance and cost was determined independently and has not been reviewed by individual vendors. Thus, portions of this report may not represent the views of the technology vendors. The extent of collaboration with technology vendors varied from case to case, with minimal or no collaboration obtained from some vendors.
The methodology included performing steady-state simulations of the various technologies using the ASPEN Plus (Aspen) modeling program. The resulting mass and energy balance data from 1
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants the Aspen model were used to size major pieces of equipment. These equipment sizes formed the basis for cost estimating. Performance and process limits were based upon published reports, information obtained from vendors and users of the technology, performance data from design/build utility projects, and/or best engineering judgment. Capital and operating costs were estimated by WorleyParsons based on simulation results and through a combination of vendor quotes, scaled estimates from previous design/build projects, or a combination of the two.
Baseline fuel costs for this analysis were determined using data from the Energy Information Administrations (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook (AEO) 2008. The first year of capital expenditure (2007) costs used are $1.55/MMkJ ($1.64/MMBtu) for coal (Illinois No. 6) and
$6.21/MMkJ ($6.55 /MMBtu) for natural gas, both on a HHV basis and in 2007 United States (U.S.) dollars.

Since these are state-of-the-art plants, they will have higher efficiencies than the average power plant population.
Consequently, these plants would be expected to be near the top of the dispatch list and the study 2
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants capacity factor (CF) is chosen to reflect the maximum availability demonstrated for the specific plant type, i.e., 80 percent for IGCC and 85 percent for PC and NGCC configurations. Since variations in fuel costs and other factors can influence dispatch order and CF, sensitivity of the cost of electricity (COE) to CF is evaluated and presented later in this Executive Summary (Exhibit ES-10) and in the body of the report.
The nominal net plant output for this study is set at 550 megawatt (MW). The actual net output varies between technologies because the combustion turbines (CTs) in the IGCC and NGCC cases are manufactured in discrete sizes, but the boilers and steam turbines in the PC cases are readily available in a wide range of capacities. The result is that all of the PC cases have a net output of 550 MW, but the IGCC cases have net outputs ranging from 497 (Case 6) to 629 MW (Case 5). The range in IGCC net output is caused by the much higher auxiliary load imposed in the CO2 capture cases, primarily due to CO2 compression, and the need for extraction steam in the water-gas shift (WGS) reactions, which reduces steam turbine output. Higher auxiliary load and extraction steam requirements can be accommodated in the PC cases (larger boiler and steam turbine) but not in the IGCC cases where it is impossible to maintain a constant net output from the steam cycle given the fixed input (CT). Likewise, the two NGCC cases have a net output of 555 and 474 MW because of the CT constraint.
Exhibit ES-2 shows the cost, performance, and environmental profile summary for all cases.
The results are discussed below in the following order:
- Performance (efficiency and raw water consumption)
- Cost (plant capital costs and COE)
- Environmental profile PERFORMANCE Energy Efficiency The net plant efficiency (HHV basis) for all twelve cases is shown in Exhibit ES-3. The primary conclusions that can be drawn are:
- The NGCC with no CO2 capture has the highest net efficiency of the technologies modeled in this study with an efficiency of 50.2 percent.
- The NGCC case with CO2 capture results in the highest efficiency (42.8 percent) among all of the capture technologies.
- The NGCC with CO2 capture results in a relative efficiency penalty of 14.7 percent (7.4 absolute percent), compared to the non-capture case. The NGCC penalty is less than for the PC cases because natural gas is less carbon intensive than coal, and there is less CO2 to capture and to compress for equal net power outputs.
- The energy efficiency of the IGCC non-capture cases is as follows: the dry-fed Shell gasifier (42.1 percent), the slurry-fed, two-stage CoP gasifier (39.7 percent) and the slurry-fed, single-stage GEE gasifier (39.0 percent).

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- When CO2 capture is added to the IGCC cases, the energy efficiency of all three cases is more nearly equal than the non-capture cases, ranging from 31.0 percent for CoP to 32.6 percent for GEE, with Shell intermediate at 31.2 percent.
- The relative efficiency penalty for adding CO2 capture to the IGCC cases is 21.4 percent on average. The relative penalty for subcritical and SC PC is 28.9 and 27.6 percent, respectively. The relative penalty for NGCC is 14.7 percent.
- SC PC without CO2 capture has an efficiency of 39.3 percent. Subcritical PC has an efficiency of 36.8 percent, which is the lowest of all the non-capture cases in the study.
- The addition of CO2 capture to the PC cases via the Fluor Econamine FG PlusSM (Econamine) process has the highest relative efficiency penalties out of all the cases studied. This is primarily because the low partial pressure of CO2 in the flue gas (FG) from a PC plant requires a chemical absorption process rather than physical absorption. For chemical absorption processes, the regeneration requirements are more energy intensive. The relative efficiency impact on NGCC is less because of the lower carbon intensity of natural gas relative to coal as mentioned above.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Water Use Three water values are presented for each technology in Exhibit ES-4: raw water withdrawal, process discharge, and raw water consumption. Each value is normalized by net output. Raw water withdrawal is the difference between demand and internal recycle. Demand is the amount of water required to satisfy a particular process (slurry, quench, flue gas desulfurization [FGD]
makeup, etc.) and internal recycle is water available within the process (boiler feedwater [BFW]
blowdown, condensate, etc.). Raw water withdrawal is the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant. Raw water consumption is the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source it was withdrawn from. Raw water consumption is the difference between withdrawal and process discharge, and it represents the overall impact of the process on the water source, which in this study is considered to be 50 percent from groundwater (wells) and 50 percent from a municipal source. All plants are equipped with evaporative cooling towers, and all process blowdown streams are assumed to be treated and recycled to the cooling tower. The primary conclusions that can be drawn are:
- In all cases the primary water consumer is cooling tower makeup, which ranges from 73 to 99 percent of the total raw water consumption.
- Among non-capture cases, NGCC requires the least amount of raw water withdrawal, followed by IGCC and PC. If an average raw water consumption for the three IGCC cases and two PC cases is used, the relative normalized raw water consumption for the technologies is 2.5:1.7:1.0 (PC:IGCC:NGCC). The relative results are as expected given the much higher steam turbine output in the PC cases, which results in higher condenser duties, higher cooling water flows, and ultimately higher cooling water makeup. The IGCC cases and the NGCC case have comparable steam turbine outputs, but IGCC requires additional water for coal slurry (GEE and CoP), syngas quench (GEE), humidification (CoP and Shell), gasifier steam (Shell), and slag handling (all cases), which increases the IGCC water withdrawal over NGCC.
- Among capture cases, raw water withdrawal requirements increase (relative to non-capture cases) more dramatically for the PC and NGCC cases than for IGCC cases because of the large cooling water demand of the Econamine process, which results in greater cooling water makeup requirements. If average water consumption values are used for IGCC and PC cases, the relative normalized raw water consumption for the technologies in CO2 capture cases is 2.4:1.4:1.0 (PC:IGCC:NGCC). The NGCC CO2 capture case still has the lowest water consumption.
- CO2 capture increases the average raw water consumption for all three technologies evaluated, but the increase is lowest for the IGCC cases. The average normalized raw water consumption for the three IGCC cases increases by about 58 percent due primarily to the need for additional water in the syngas to accomplish the WGS reaction. With the addition of CO2 capture, PC normalized raw water consumption increases by 83 percent and NGCC by 91 percent. The large cooling water demand of the Econamine process drives this substantial increase for PC and NGCC.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants COST RESULTS Total Overnight Cost The Total Overnight Cost (TOC) for each plant was calculated by adding owners costs to the Total Plant Cost (TPC). The TPC for each technology was determined through a combination of vendor quotes, scaled estimates from previous design/build projects, or a combination of the two.
TPC includes all equipment (complete with initial chemical and catalyst loadings), materials, labor (direct and indirect), engineering and construction management, and contingencies (process and project). Escalation and interest on debt during the capital expenditure period were estimated and added to the TOC to provide the Total As-Spent Cost (TASC).
The cost estimates carry an accuracy of -15%/+30%, consistent with a feasibility study level of design engineering applied to the various cases in this study. The value of the study lies not in the absolute accuracy of the individual case results but in the fact that all cases were evaluated under the same set of technical and economic assumptions. This consistency of approach allows meaningful comparisons among the cases evaluated.
Project contingencies were added to the Engineering/Procurement/Construction Management (EPCM) capital accounts to cover project uncertainty and the cost of any additional equipment that would result from a detailed design. The contingencies represent costs that are expected to occur. Each bare erected cost (BEC) account was evaluated against the level of estimate detail and field experience to determine project contingency. Process contingency was added to cost account items that were deemed to be first-of-a-kind (FOAK) or posed significant risk due to lack of operating experience. The cost accounts that received a process contingency include:
- Slurry Prep and Feed - 5 percent on GE IGCC cases - systems are operating at approximately 800 psia as compared to 600 psia for the other IGCC cases.
- Gasifiers and Syngas Coolers - 15 percent on all IGCC cases - next-generation commercial offering and integration with the power island.
- Two Stage Selexol - 20 percent on all IGCC capture cases - lack of operating experience at commercial scale in IGCC service.
- Mercury Removal - 5 percent on all IGCC cases - minimal commercial scale experience in IGCC applications.
- CO2 Removal System - 20 percent on all PC/NGCC capture cases - post-combustion process unproven at commercial scale for power plant applications.
- Combustion Turbine-Generator (CTG) - 5 percent on all IGCC non-capture cases -
syngas firing and air separation unit (ASU) integration; 10 percent on all IGCC capture cases - high hydrogen firing.
- Instrumentation and Controls - 5 percent on all IGCC accounts and 5 percent on the PC and NGCC capture cases - integration issues.
The normalized components of TOC and overall TASC are shown for each technology in Exhibit ES-5. The following conclusions can be drawn:
- Among the non-capture cases, NGCC has the lowest TOC at $718 kW followed by PC with an average cost of $2,010/kW and IGCC with an average cost of $2,505/kW.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The average IGCC cost is 25 percent greater than the average PC cost. The process contingency for the IGCC cases ranges from $50-63/kW while there is zero process contingency for the PC and NGCC non-capture cases. The differential between IGCC and PC is reduced to 22 percent when process contingency is eliminated.
- The three IGCC non-capture cases have a TOC ranging from $2,351/kW (CoP) to
$2,716/kW (Shell) with GEE intermediate at $2,447/kW.
- Among the capture cases, NGCC has the lowest TOC, despite the fact that the TOC of the NGCC capture case is more than double the cost of the non-capture case at
$1,497kW.
- Among the capture cases, the PC cases have the highest TOC at an average of
$3,590/kW. The average TOC for IGCC CO2 capture cases is $3,568/kW, which is less than one percent lower than the average of the PC cases. The process contingency for the IGCC capture cases ranges from $119-131/kW, for the PC cases from $100-105/kW and $60/kW for the NGCC case.
Cost of Electricity The cost metric used in this study is the COE, which is the revenue received by the generator per net megawatt-hour during the power plants first year of operation, assuming that the COE escalates thereafter at a nominal annual rate equal to the general inflation rate, i.e., that it remains constant in real terms over the operational period of the power plant. To calculate the COE, the Power Systems Financial Model (PSFM) [2] was used to determine a base-year (2007) COE that, when escalated at an assumed nominal annual general inflation rate of 3 percent 1, provided the stipulated internal rate of return on equity over the entire economic analysis period (capital expenditure period plus thirty years of operation). The first year capital charge factor (CCF) shown in Exhibit ES-6, which was derived using the PSFM, can also be used to calculate COE using a simplified equation as detailed in Section 2.7.4.
The project financial structure varies depending on the type of project (high risk or low risk) and the length of the capital expenditure period (3 year or 5 year). All cases were assumed to be undertaken at investor owned utilities (IOUs). High risk projects are those in which commercial scale operating experience is limited. The IGCC cases (with and without CO2 capture) and the PC and NGCC cases with CO2 capture were considered to be high risk. The non-capture PC and NGCC cases were considered to be low risk. Coal based cases were assumed to have a 5 year capital expenditure period and natural gas cases a 3 year period. The current-dollar, 30-year levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) was also calculated and is shown in Exhibit 2-23, but the primary metric used in the balance of this study is COE. A more detailed discussion of the two metrics is provided in Section 2.7 of the report.

This index was used instead of the Producer Price Index for the Electric Power Generation Industry because the Electric Power Index only dates back to December 2003 and the Producer Price Index is considered the headline index for all of the various Producer Price Indices.

While the cost basis for this study is June 2007, many price indices had similar values in January 2010 compared to June 2007. For example, the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index was 532.7 in June 2007 and 532.9 in January 2010, and the Gross Domestic Product Chain-type Price Index was 106.7 on July 1, 2007 and 110.0 on January 1, 2010. Hence the June 2007 dollar cost base used in this study is expected to be representative of January 2010 costs.
The COE results are shown in Exhibit ES-7 with the capital cost, fixed operating cost, variable operating cost, and fuel cost shown separately. In the capture cases, the CO2 transport, storage, and monitoring (TS&M) costs are also shown as a separate bar segment. The following conclusions can be drawn:
- In non-capture cases, NGCC plants have the lowest COE (58.9 mills/kWh), followed by PC (average 59.2 mills/kWh) and IGCC (average 77.2 mills/kWh).
- In capture cases, NGCC plants have the lowest COE (85.9 mills/kWh), followed by PC (average 108.2 mills/kWh) and IGCC (average 111.8 mills/kWh).
- The COE for the three IGCC non-capture cases ranges from 74.0 mills/kWh (CoP) to 81.3 mills/kWh (Shell) with GEE intermediate at 76.3 mills/kWh. The study level of accuracy is insufficient to definitively quantify the differences in COE of the three IGCC technologies.
- Non-capture SC PC has a COE of 58.9 mills/kWh and subcritical PC is 59.4 mills/kWh, an insignificant difference given the level of accuracy of the study estimate.
- IGCC is the most expensive technology with CO2 capture, 3 percent higher than PC and 30 percent higher than NGCC.
- The capital cost component of COE is between 56 and 59 percent in all IGCC and PC cases. It represents only 17 percent of COE in the NGCC non-capture case and 26 percent in the CO2 capture case.
- The fuel component of COE ranges from 15-19 percent for the IGCC cases and the PC CO2 capture cases. For the PC non-capture cases the fuel component varies from 24-26 percent. The fuel component is 76 percent of the total in the NGCC non-capture case and 61 percent in the CO2 capture case.
- CO2 TS&M is estimated to add 3 to 6 mills/kWh to the COE, which is less than 5.5 percent of the total for all capture cases.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Exhibit ES-8 shows the COE sensitivity to fuel costs for the non-capture cases. The solid line is the COE of NGCC as a function of natural gas cost. The points on the line represent the natural gas cost that would be required to make the COE of NGCC equal to PC or IGCC at a given coal cost. The coal prices shown ($1.23, $1.64, and $2.05/MMBtu) represent the baseline cost and a range of +/-25 percent around the baseline. As an example, at a coal cost of $1.64/MMBtu, the COE of PC equals NGCC at a natural gas price of $6.59/MMBtu.
Another observation from Exhibit ES-8 is that the COE of IGCC at a coal price of $1.23/MMBtu is greater than PC at a coal price of $2.05/MMBtu, due to the higher capital cost of IGCC and its relative insensitivity to fuel price. For example, a decrease in coal cost of 40 percent (from $2.05 to $1.23/MMBtu) results in an IGCC COE decrease of only nine percent (80.7 to 73.7 mills/kWh).
Fuel cost sensitivity is presented for the CO2 capture cases in Exhibit ES-9. Even at the lowest coal cost shown, the COE of NGCC is less than IGCC and PC at the baseline natural gas price of
$6.55/MMBtu. For the coal-based technologies at the baseline coal cost of $1.64/MMBtu to be equal to NGCC, the cost of natural gas would have to be $9.34/MMBtu (PC) or $9.80/MMBtu (IGCC). Alternatively, for the COE of coal-based technologies to be equal to NGCC at the high end coal cost of $2.05/MMBtu, natural gas prices would have to be $9.98/MMBtu for PC and
$10.35/MMBtu for IGCC.

The subcritical and SC PC cases with no CO2 capture are nearly identical so that the two curves appear as a single curve on the graph. The CF is plotted from 30 to 90 percent. The baseline CF is 80 percent for IGCC cases with no spare gasifier and is 85 percent for PC and NGCC cases. The curves plotted in Exhibit ES-10 for the IGCC cases assume that the CF could be extended to 90 percent with no spare gasifier. Similarly, the PC and NGCC curves assume that the CF could reach 90 percent with no additional capital equipment.
Technologies with high capital cost (PC and IGCC with CO2 capture) show a greater increase in COE with decreased CF. Conversely, NGCC with no CO2 capture is relatively flat because the COE is dominated by fuel charges, which decrease as the CF decreases. Conclusions that can be drawn from Exhibit ES-10 include:
- The COE of NGCC with CO2 capture is the lowest of the capture technologies in the baseline study, and the advantage increases as CF decreases. The relatively low capital cost component of NGCC accounts for the increased cost differential with decreased CF.
- In non-capture cases, NGCC at 40 percent CF has approximately the same COE as the average of the three IGCC cases at base load (80 percent CF) further illustrating the relatively small impact of CF on NGCC COE.

CO2 Emission Price Impact In the event that future legislation assigns a cost to carbon emissions, all of the technologies examined in this study will become more expensive. The technologies without carbon capture will be impacted to a larger extent than those with carbon capture, and coal-based technologies will be impacted more than natural gas-based technologies. The most economically favored option for each technology is shown in Exhibit ES-11. Hence the IGCC non-capture case is based on the CoP gasifier, the IGCC capture case is based on the GEE technology, and the PC technology is based on supercritical steam conditions.
The curves represent the study design conditions (capacity factor) and fuel prices used for each technology; namely 80 percent capacity factor for IGCC plants and 85 percent for PC and NGCC plants, and $1.64/MMBtu for coal and $6.55/MMBtu for natural gas. Natural gas fuel prices are more volatile than coal and tend to fluctuate over a fairly large range. The two black lines shown in Exhibit ES-11 represent NGCC at a fuel price of $9.50/MMBtu and are shown for reference.
The dispatch-based capacity factor for NGCC plants, addressed in Section 6.4 of this report, is significantly less than 85 percent and would result in a higher COE as shown in Exhibit ES-10.

For example, the cost of CO2 avoided is
$69/tonne ($63/ton) for SC PC and $84/tonne ($76/ton) for NGCC. These values can be compared to those shown in Exhibit ES-13.
The following conclusions can be drawn from the carbon emissions price graph:
- At the baseline study conditions any cost applied to carbon emissions favors NGCC technology. While PC and NGCC with no capture start at essentially equivalent COEs, they diverge rapidly as the CO2 emission cost increases. The lower carbon intensity of natural gas relative to coal and the greater efficiency of the NGCC technology account for this effect.
- Capture for NGCC systems is only justified economically at CO2 emissions prices greater than $83/tonne ($75/ton) at the baseline natural gas price of $6.55/MMBtu and $95/tonne ($86/ton) at the higher natural gas price of $9.50/MMBtu.
- The SC PC and IGCC non-capture curves are nearly parallel indicating that the CO2 emission price impacts the two technologies nearly equally. The two lines gradually converge due to the slightly lower efficiency of SC PC relative to the CoP IGCC technology (39.3 versus 39.7 percent net efficiency). The SC PC and GEE IGCC cases with CO2 capture start at nearly equivalent COE values and slowly diverge.
The COE of the SC PC case increases slightly faster than the GEE IGCC case 17
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants because of the lower efficiency (28.4 versus 32.6 percent net efficiency) and slightly lower capture efficiency (90.2 versus 90.3 percent).
- Comparing only the coal-based technologies, IGCC or PC with capture become the favored technology compared to SC PC with no capture at an emission price of
$67/tonne ($61/ton).
- At a natural gas price of $9.50/MMBtu, NGCC with capture has nearly the same COE as IGCC and SC PC with capture at a CO2 emission price of $30/tonne ($27/ton).
- At a natural gas price of $9.50/MMBtu, SC PC without capture has a lower COE than NGCC without capture until the CO2 emissions price exceeds $46/tonne ($42/ton).
The relationship between technologies and CO2 emission pricing can also be considered in a phase diagram type plot as shown in Exhibit ES-12. The lines in the plot represent cost parity between different pairs of technologies.

- At natural gas prices below $6.50/MMBtu (and a capacity factor of 85 percent)
NGCC is always preferred.
- At natural gas prices above $11/MMBtu coal plants are always preferred.
Cost of CO2 Avoided The first year cost of CO2 avoided was calculated as illustrated in Equation ES-1:
{COE with removal COE reference } $ / MWh Avoided Cost = (ES-1)
{CO2 Emissions reference CO2 Emissions with removal } tons / MWh The COE with CO2 removal includes the costs of capture and compression as well as TS&M costs. The resulting avoided costs are shown in Exhibit ES-13 for each of the six technologies modeled. The avoided costs for each capture case are calculated using the analogous non-capture plant as the reference and again with SC PC without CO2 capture as the reference. The following conclusions can be drawn:
- The total first year cost of CO2 avoided is $52.9/tonne ($48/ton) (average IGCC),
$68.3/tonne ($62/ton) (average PC), and $83.8/tonne ($76/ton) (NGCC) using analogous non-capture plants as the reference and $75/tonne ($68/ton) (average IGCC), $71.6/tonne ($65/ton) (average PC), and $35.3/tonne ($32/ton) (NGCC) using SC PC without capture as the reference.
- CO2 avoided costs for IGCC plants using analogous non-capture plants as reference are substantially less than for PC and NGCC because the IGCC CO2 removal is accomplished prior to combustion and at elevated pressure using physical absorption.
- CO2 avoided costs for IGCC plants using analogous non-capture as reference are less than NGCC plants because the baseline CO2 emissions for NGCC plants are 44 percent less than for IGCC plants. Consequently, the normalized removal cost for NGCC plants is divided by a smaller amount of CO2.
- CO2 avoided costs for the GEE IGCC plant are less than for the CoP and Shell IGCC plants. This is consistent with the efficiency changes observed when going from a non-capture to capture configuration for the GEE IGCC plant. The GEE plant started with the lowest efficiency of the IGCC plants but realized the smallest reduction in efficiency between the non-capture and capture configurations.
- CO2 avoided costs for NGCC using SC PC as the reference are 53 percent lower than IGCC and 50 percent lower than PC because of the relatively low COE of the NGCC capture plant compared to IGCC and PC.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE The environmental targets for each technology are summarized in Exhibit ES-14. Emission rates of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) are shown graphically in Exhibit ES-15, and emission rates of mercury (Hg) are shown separately in Exhibit ES-16 because of the orders of magnitude difference in emission rate values.

- IGCC cases use the EPRI targets established in their CoalFleet for Tomorrow work as documented in the CoalFleet User Design Basis Specification for Coal-Based Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) Power Plants, EPRI, Palo Alto, CA, 2009.
- PC and NGCC cases are based on best available control technology (BACT)
The primary conclusions that can be drawn are:
- The NGCC baseline plant generates the lowest emissions, followed by IGCC and then PC.
- In NGCC cases, study assumptions result in zero emissions of SO2, PM, and Hg. If the pipeline natural gas contained the maximum amount of sulfur allowed by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) definition (0.6 gr/100 scf), SO2 emissions would be 0.000839 kg/GJ (0.00195 lb/MMBtu).
- Based on vendor data it was assumed that dry low NOx (DLN) burners could achieve 25 ppmv (dry) at 15 percent O2 and, coupled with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit that achieves 90 percent NOx reduction efficiency, would result in the environmental target of 2.5 ppmv (dry) at 15 percent O2 for both NGCC cases.
- Based on vendor data it was assumed that Selexol, Sulfinol-M, and refrigerated methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) could all meet the sulfur environmental target, hence emissions of approximately 0.0128 lb/MMBtu in each of the IGCC non-capture cases. In the CO2 capture cases, to achieve 95 percent CO2 capture from the syngas, the sulfur 21
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants removal is greater than in the non-capture cases resulting in emissions of approximately 0.0009 kg/GJ (0.0022 lb/MMBtu).
- It was a study assumption that each IGCC technology could meet the filterable particulate emission limit with the combination of technologies employed. In the case of Shell and CoP, this consists of cyclones, candle filters, and the syngas scrubber. In the case of GEE particulate control consists of a water quench and syngas scrubber.
- Based on vendor data it was assumed that a combination of low NOx burners (LNBs) and nitrogen (N2) dilution could limit IGCC NOx emissions to the environmental target of 15 ppmvd at 15 percent O2. The small variations in NOx emissions are due to small variations in CT gas volumes.
- Based on vendor data it was assumed that 95 percent Hg removal could be achieved using carbon beds thus meeting the environmental target. The Hg emissions are reported in Exhibit ES-16 as lb per trillion Btu to make the values the same order of magnitude as the other reported values.
- It was a study assumption that the PC FGD unit would remove 98 percent of the inlet SO2, resulting in the environmental target of 0.037 kg/GJ (0.085 lb/MMBtu). In the CO2 capture cases, the Econamine system employs a polishing scrubber to reduce emissions to 10 ppmv entering the CO2 absorber. Nearly all of the remaining SO2 is absorbed by the Econamine solvent resulting in negligible emissions of SO2 in those cases.
- In PC cases, it was a study assumption that a fabric filter would remove 99.8 percent of the entering particulate and that there is an 80/20 split between fly ash and bottom ash.
The result is the environmental target of 0.006 kg/GJ (0.013 lb/MMBtu) of filterable particulate.
- In PC cases, it was a study assumption that NOx emissions exiting the boiler equipped with LNBs and overfire air (OFA) would be 0.22 kg/GJ (0.50 lb/MMBtu) and that an SCR unit would further reduce the NOx by 86 percent, resulting in the environmental target of 0.030 kg/GJ (0.070 lb/MMBtu).
- In PC cases, it was a study assumption that the environmental target of 90 percent of the incoming Hg would be removed by the combination of SCR, fabric filter and wet FGD thus eliminating the need for activated carbon injection. The resulting Hg emissions for each of the PC cases are 4.92 x 10-7 kg/GJ (1.14 lb/TBtu).
CO2 emissions are not currently regulated. However, since there is increasing momentum for establishing carbon limits, it was an objective of this study to examine the relative amounts of CO2 capture achievable among the six technologies. CO2 emissions are presented in Exhibit ES-17 for each case, normalized by net output. In the body of the report CO2 emissions are presented on both a net and gross MWh basis. New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) contain emission limits for SO2 and NOx on a lb/(gross) MWh basis. However, since CO2 emissions are not currently regulated, the potential future emission limit basis is not known and CO2 emissions are presented in both ways. The following conclusions can be drawn:

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- In cases with no CO2 capture, NGCC emits 56 percent less CO2 than PC and 52 percent less CO2 than IGCC per unit of net output. The lower NGCC CO2 emissions reflect the lower carbon intensity of natural gas relative to coal and the higher cycle efficiency of NGCC relative to IGCC and PC. Based on the fuel compositions used in this study, natural gas contains 41 lb carbon/MMBtu of heat input and coal contains 55 lb/MMBtu.
- The CO2 reduction goal in this study was a nominal 90 percent in all cases. The result is that the controlled CO2 emissions follow the same trend as the uncontrolled, i.e., the NGCC case emits less CO2 than the IGCC cases, which emit less than the PC cases.
- In the IGCC cases the nominal 90 percent CO2 reduction was accomplished by using two sour gas shift (SGS) reactors to convert carbon monoxide (CO) to CO2. A two-stage Selexol process with a second stage CO2 removal efficiency of 92 percent, a number that was supported by vendor quotes, was used in the GEE and Shell cases. The GEE CO2 capture case resulted in 90.3 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas. The Shell capture case resulted in 90.1 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas. In the CoP case, in order for the capture target of 90 percent to be achieved, the Selexol efficiency was increased to 95 percent. This was done because of the high syngas methane content (1.5 vol% compared to 0.10 vol% in the GEE gasifier and 0.06 vol% in the Shell gasifier). The CoP capture case resulted in 90.4 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas.
- Among the three non-capture IGCC cases the Shell process has slightly lower emissions primarily because it is the most efficient. The emissions in the CO2 capture cases are nearly identical for each case.
- The PC and NGCC cases both assume that all of the carbon in the fuel is converted to CO2 in the FG and that 90 percent is subsequently removed in the Econamine process, which was also supported by a vendor quote.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- 1. INTRODUCTION The objective of this report is to present an accurate, independent assessment of the cost and performance of fossil energy power systems, specifically IGCC, PC, and NGCC plants, in a consistent technical and economic manner that accurately reflects current market conditions.
This is Volume 1 of a four volume report. The four volume series consists of the following:
- Volume 1: Bituminous Coal and Natural Gas to Electricity
- Volume 2: Coal to Synthetic Natural Gas and Ammonia (Various Coal Ranks)
- Volume 3: Low Rank Coal and Natural Gas to Electricity
- Volume 4: Bituminous Coal to Liquid Fuels with Carbon Capture The cost and performance of the various fossil fuel-based technologies will largely determine which technologies will be utilized to meet the demands of the power market. Selection of new generation technologies will depend on many factors, including:
- Capital and operating costs
- Overall energy efficiency
- Fuel prices
- Cost of electricity (COE)
- Availability, reliability, and environmental performance
- Current and potential regulation of air, water, and solid waste discharges from fossil-fueled power plants
- Market penetration of clean coal technologies that have matured and improved as a result of recent commercial-scale demonstrations under the DOEs Clean Coal Programs Twelve different power plant design configurations were analyzed. The configurations are listed in Exhibit 1-1. The list includes six IGCC cases utilizing the GEE, CoP, and Shell gasifiers each with and without CO2 capture, and six cases representing conventional technologies: PC-subcritical, PC-SC, and NGCC plants, with and without CO2 capture. While input was sought from various technology vendors, the final assessment of performance and cost was determined independently, and may not represent the views of the technology vendors. Individual vendors have not reviewed this report and the extent of collaboration with technology vendors varied from case to case, with minimal or no collaboration obtained from some vendors.
Cases 7 and 8 were originally included in this study and involve production of SNG and the repowering of an existing NGCC facility using SNG. The two SNG cases were subsequently moved to Volume 2 of this report resulting in the discontinuity of case numbers (1-6 and 9-14).
GENERATING UNIT CONFIGURATIONS A summary of plant configurations considered in this study is presented in Exhibit 1-1.
Components for each plant configuration are described in more detail in the corresponding report sections for each case.
27
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The IGCC cases have different gross and net power outputs because of the gas turbine (GT) size constraint. The advanced F-class turbine used to model the IGCC cases comes in a standard size of 232 MW when operated on syngas at International Standards Organization (ISO) conditions.
Each case uses two CTs for a combined gross output of 464 MW. In the combined cycle a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) extracts heat from the CT exhaust to power a steam turbine.
However, the CO2 capture cases consume more extraction steam than the non-capture cases, thus reducing the steam turbine output. In addition, the capture cases have a higher auxiliary load requirement than non-capture cases, which serves to further reduce net plant output. While the two CTs provide 464 MW gross output in all six cases, the overall combined cycle gross output ranges from 673 to 748 MW, which results in a range of net output from 497 (case 6) to 629 MW (case 5). The coal feed rate required to achieve the gross power output is also different between the six cases, ranging from 198,220 to 220,899 kg/hr (437,000 to 487,000 lb/hr).
Similar to the IGCC cases, the NGCC cases do not have a common net power output. The NGCC system is again constrained by the available CT size, which is 181 MW at ISO conditions for both cases (based on the same advanced F class turbine used in the IGCC cases). Since the CO2 capture case requires both a higher auxiliary power load and a significant amount of extraction steam, which significantly reduces the steam turbine output, the net output in the NGCC case is also reduced.
All four PC cases have a net output of 550 MW. The boiler and steam turbine industrys ability to match unit size to a custom specification has been commercially demonstrated enabling a common net output comparison of the PC cases in this study. The coal feed rate was increased in the CO2 capture cases to increase the gross steam turbine output and account for the higher auxiliary load, resulting in a constant net output.
The balance of this report is organized as follows:
- Chapter 2 provides the basis for technical, environmental, and cost evaluations.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- 2. GENERAL EVALUATION BASIS For each of the plant configurations in this study an Aspen model was developed and used to generate material and energy balances, which in turn were used to provide a design basis for items in the major equipment list. The equipment list and material balances were used as the basis for generating the capital and operating cost estimates. Performance and process limits were based upon published reports, information obtained from vendors and users of the technology, performance data from design/build utility projects, and/or best engineering judgment. Capital and operating costs were estimated by WorleyParsons based on simulation results and through a combination of vendor quotes, scaled estimates from previous design/build projects, or a combination of the two. Ultimately a COE was calculated for each of the cases and is reported as the revenue requirement figure-of-merit.
The balance of this chapter documents the design basis common to all technologies, as well as environmental targets and cost assumptions used in the study. Technology specific design criteria are covered in subsequent chapters.
2.1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS All plants in this study are assumed to be located at a generic plant site in Midwestern U.S., with ambient conditions and site characteristics as presented in Exhibit 2-1 and Exhibit 2-2. The ambient conditions are the same as ISO conditions.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The land area for PC and IGCC cases assumes 30 acres are required for the plant proper and the balance provides a buffer of approximately 0.25 miles to the fence line. The extra land could also provide for a rail loop if required. In the NGCC cases it was assumed the plant proper occupies about 10 acres leaving a buffer of 0.15 miles to the plant fence line.
In all cases it was assumed that the steam turbine is enclosed in a turbine building and in the PC cases the boiler is also enclosed. The gasifier in the IGCC cases and the CTs in the IGCC and NGCC cases are not enclosed.
The following design parameters are considered site-specific, and are not quantified for this study. Allowances for normal conditions and construction are included in the cost estimates.
- Flood plain considerations
- Existing soil/site conditions
- Water discharges and reuse
- Rainfall/snowfall criteria
- Seismic design
- Buildings/enclosures
- Local code height requirements
- Noise regulations - Impact on site and surrounding area 2.2 COAL CHARACTERISTICS The design coal is Illinois No. 6 with characteristics presented in Exhibit 2-3. The coal properties are from NETLs Coal Quality Guidelines [1].
The Power Systems Financial Model (PSFM) was used to derive the capital charge factors (CCF) and levelization factors (LF) for this study [ 2]. The PSFM requires that all cost inputs have a consistent cost year basis. Because the capital and operating cost estimates are in June 2007 dollars, the fuel costs must also be in June 2007 dollars.
The coal cost used in this study is $1.55/GJ ($1.64/MMBtu) (2007 cost of coal in June 2007 dollars). This cost was determined using the following information from the EIA 2008 AEO:
- The 2007 minemouth cost of Illinois No. 6 in 2006 dollars, $32.66/tonne
($29.63/ton), was obtained from Supplemental Table 112 of the EIAs 2008 AEO for eastern interior high-sulfur bituminous coal.
- The cost of Illinois No. 6 coal was escalated to 2007 dollars using the gross domestic product (GDP) chain-type price index from AEO 2008, resulting in a price of
$33.67/tonne ($30.55/ton) [3].
- Transportation costs for Illinois No. 6 were estimated to be 25 percent of the minemouth cost based on the average transportation rate of the respective coals to the surrounding regions [ 4]. The final delivered costs for Illinois No. 6 coal used in the calculations is $42.09/tonne ($38.18/ton) or $1.55/GJ ($1.64/MMBtu). (Note: The Illinois No. 6 coal cost of $1.6366/MMBtu was used in calculations, but only two decimal places are shown in the report.)

The cost was determined using the following information from the EIAs 2008 AEO:
- The 2007 East North Central region delivered cost of natural gas to electric utilities in 2006 dollars, $231.47/1000 m3 ($6.55/1000 ft3), was obtained from the AEO 2008 reference case Table 108 and converted to an energy basis, $6.02/MMkJ
($6.35/MMBtu).
- The 2007 cost was escalated to 2007 dollars using the GDP chain-type price index from AEO 2008, resulting in a delivered 2007 price in 2007 dollars of $6.21/MMkJ
($6.55/MMBtu) [3]. (Note: The natural gas cost of $6.5478/MMBtu was used in calculations, but only two decimal places are shown in the report.)
2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL TARGETS The environmental targets for the study were considered on a technology- and fuel-specific basis.
In setting the environmental targets a number of factors were considered, including current emission regulations, regulation trends, results from recent permitting activities and the status of current BACT.
The current federal regulation governing new fossil-fuel fired electric utility steam generating units is the NSPS as amended in February 2006 and shown in Exhibit 2-5, which represents the 34
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants minimum level of control that would be required for a new fossil energy plant [6]. Stationary CT emission limits are further defined in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KKKK.
Exhibit 2-5 Standards of Performance for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units Built, Reconstructed, or Modified After February 28, 2005 New Units Reconstructed Units Modified Units Emission Emission Emission % %
Limit % Reduction Limit Limit Reduction Reduction (lb/MMBtu) (lb/MMBtu) 0.015 PM 99.9 0.015 99.9 0.015 99.8 lb/MMBtu SO2 1.4 lb/MWh 95 0.15 95 0.15 90 NOx 1.0 lb/MWh N/A 0.11 N/A 0.15 N/A The new NSPS standards apply to units with the capacity to generate greater than 73 MW of power by burning fossil fuels, as well as cogeneration units that sell more than 25 MW of power and more than one-third of their potential output capacity to any utility power distribution system. The rule also applies to combined cycle, including IGCC plants, and combined heat and power CTs that burn 75 percent or more synthetic-coal gas. In cases where both an emission limit and a percent reduction are presented, the unit has the option of meeting one or the other.
All limits with the unit lb/MWh are based on gross power output.
Other regulations that could affect emissions limits from a new plant include the New Source Review (NSR) permitting process and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). The NSR process requires installation of emission control technology meeting either BACT determinations for new sources being located in areas meeting ambient air quality standards (attainment areas),
or Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) technology for sources being located in areas not meeting ambient air quality standards (non-attainment areas). Environmental area designation varies by county and can be established only for a specific site location. Based on the EPA Green Book Non-attainment Area Map relatively few areas in the Midwestern U.S. are classified as non-attainment so the plant site for this study was assumed to be in an attainment area [7].
In addition to federal regulations, state and local jurisdictions can impose even more stringent regulations on a new facility. However, since each new plant has unique environmental requirements, it was necessary to apply some judgment in setting the environmental targets for this study.
As of October 2009, no active legislation establishes acceptable mercury emission levels. The levels previously established by the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) have been vacated through the D.C Circuit Court. Until new limits are established, the previously established CAMR levels are used in this report. The CAMR established NSPS limits for Hg emissions from new PC-fired boilers based on coal type as well as for IGCC units independent of coal type.
The NSPS limits, based on gross output, are shown in Exhibit 2-6 [8]. The applicable limit in this study is 20 x 10-6 lb/MWh for both bituminous coal-fired PC boilers and for IGCC units.

Hence, as illustrated in Exhibit 2-7, there is a 50 percent probability that the mercury content in the Illinois No. 6 coal would not exceed 0.09 ppm (dry basis). The coal mercury content for this study was assumed to be 0.15 ppm (dry) for all IGCC and PC cases, which corresponds to the mean plus one standard deviation and encompasses about 84 percent of the samples. It was further assumed that all of the coal Hg enters the gas phase and none leaves with the bottom ash or slag.
The current NSPS emission limits are provided below for each technology along with the environmental targets for this study and the control technologies employed to meet the targets.
In some cases, application of the control technology results in emissions that are less than the target, but in no case are the emissions greater than the target.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 2.4.1 IGCC The IGCC environmental targets were chosen to match the EPRIs design basis for their CoalFleet for Tomorrow Initiative and are shown in Exhibit 2-8 [10]. EPRI notes that these are design targets and are not to be used for permitting values.

Based on published vendor literature, it was assumed that LNBs and nitrogen dilution can achieve 15 ppmvd at 15 percent O2, and that value was used for all IGCC cases [11,12].
To achieve an environmental target of 0.0128 lb/MMBtu of SO2 requires approximately 28 ppmv sulfur in the sweet syngas. The acid gas removal (AGR) process must have a sulfur capture efficiency of about 99.7 percent to reach the environmental target. Vendor data on each of the three AGR processes used in the non-capture cases indicate that this level of sulfur removal is possible. In the CO2 capture cases, the two-stage Selexol process was designed for 95 percent CO2 removal, which results in a sulfur capture of greater than 99.7 percent, hence the lower sulfur emissions in the CO2 capture cases.
Most of the coal ash is removed from the gasifier as slag. The ash that remains entrained in the syngas is captured in the downstream equipment, including the syngas scrubber and a cyclone and either ceramic or metallic candle filters (CoP and Shell). The environmental target of 0.0071 lb/MMBtu filterable particulates can be achieved with each combination of particulate control devices so that in each IGCC case it was assumed the environmental target was met exactly.
The environmental target for mercury capture is greater than 90 percent. Based on experience at the Eastman Chemical plant, where syngas from a GEE gasifier is treated, the actual mercury removal efficiency used is 95 percent. Sulfur-impregnated activated carbon is used by Eastman as the adsorbent in the packed beds operated at 30°C (86°F) and 6.2 MPa (900 psig). Mercury removal between 90 and 95 percent has been reported with a bed life of 18 to 24 months.
Removal efficiencies may be even higher, but at 95 percent the measurement precision limit was 37
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants reached. Eastman has yet to experience any mercury contamination in its product [13]. Mercury removals of greater than 99 percent can be achieved by the use of dual beds, i.e., two beds in series. However, this study assumes that the use of sulfur-impregnated carbon in a single carbon bed achieves 95 percent reduction of mercury emissions, which meets the environmental target and NSPS limits in all cases.
2.4.2 PC BACT was applied to each of the PC cases and the resulting emissions compared to NSPS limits and recent permit averages. Since the BACT results met or exceeded the NSPS requirements and the average of recent permits, they were used as the environmental targets as shown in Exhibit 2-9. The average of recent permits is comprised of 8 units at 5 locations. The 5 plants include Elm Road Generating Station, Longview Power, Prairie State, Thoroughbred, and Cross.
It was assumed that LNBs and staged OFA would limit NOx emissions to 0.5 lb/MMBtu and that SCR technology would be 86 percent efficient, resulting in emissions of 0.07 lb/MMBtu for all cases.
The wet limestone scrubber was assumed to be 98 percent efficient, which results in SO2 emissions of 0.085 lb/MMBtu. Current technology allows FGD removal efficiencies in excess of 99 percent, but based on NSPS requirements and recent permit averages, such high removal efficiency is not necessary.
The fabric filter used for particulate control was assumed to be 99.8 percent efficient. The result is particulate emissions of 0.013 lb/MMBtu in all cases, which also exceeds NSPS and recent permit average requirements.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Mercury control for PC cases was assumed to occur through 90 percent co-benefit capture in the fabric filter and the wet FGD scrubber. EPA used a statistical method to calculate the Hg co-benefit capture from units using a best demonstrated technology approach, which for bituminous coals was considered to be a combination of a fabric filter and an FGD system. The statistical analysis resulted in a co-benefit capture estimate of 86.7 percent with an efficiency range of 83.8 to 98.8 percent [14]. EPAs documentation for their Integrated Planning Model (IPM) provides mercury emission modification factors (EMF) based on 190 combinations of boiler types and control technologies. The EMF is simply one minus the removal efficiency.
For PC boilers (as opposed to cyclones, stokers, fluidized beds, and others) with a fabric filter, SCR and wet FGD, the EMF is 0.1, which corresponds to a removal efficiency of 90 percent
[15]. The average reduction in total Hg emissions developed from EPAs Information Collection Request (ICR) data on U.S. coal-fired boilers using bituminous coal, fabric filters, and wet FGD is 98 percent [16]. The referenced sources bound the co-benefit Hg capture for bituminous coal units employing SCR, a fabric filter and a wet FGD system between 83.8 and 98 percent. Ninety percent was chosen as near the mid-point of this range and it also matches the value used by EPA in their IPM.
Since co-benefit capture alone exceeds the requirements of NSPS and recent permit averages, no activated carbon injection is included in this study.
2.4.3 NGCC BACT was applied to the NGCC cases and the resulting emissions compared to NSPS limits.
The NGCC environmental targets were chosen based on reasonably obtainable limits given the control technologies employed and are presented in Exhibit 2-10.
Exhibit 2-10 Environmental Targets for NGCC Cases 40 CFR Part 60, Environmental Control Pollutant Subpart KKKK Target Technology Limits Low NOx burners NOx 2.5 ppmv @ 15% O2 15 ppmv @ 15% O2 and SCR 0.9 lb/MWh Low sulfur content SO2 Negligible (0.134 lb/MMBtu)1 fuel Particulate Matter N/A N/A N/A (Filterable)

Published vendor literature indicates that 25 ppmv NOx at 15 percent O2 is achievable using natural gas and DLN technology [17,18]. The application of SCR with 90 percent efficiency further reduces NOx emissions to 2.5 ppmv, which was selected as the environmental target.
39
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants For the purpose of this study, natural gas was assumed to contain a negligible amount of sulfur compounds, and therefore generate negligible sulfur emissions. The EPA defines pipeline natural gas as containing >70 percent methane by volume or having a gross calorific value (GCV) of between 35.4 and 40.9 MJ/Nm3 (950 and 1,100 Btu/scf) and having a total sulfur content of less than 13.7 mg/Nm3 (0.6 gr/100 scf) [19]. Assuming a sulfur content equal to the EPA limit for pipeline natural gas, resulting SO2 emissions for the two NGCC cases in this study would be approximately 21 tonnes/yr (23.2 tons/yr) at 85 percent CF or 0.00084 kg/GJ (0.00195 lb/MMBtu). Thus, for the purpose of this study, SO2 emissions were considered negligible.
The pipeline natural gas was assumed to contain no particulate matter (PM) and no mercury resulting in no emissions of either.
2.4.4 Carbon Dioxide CO2 is not currently regulated nationally. However, the possibility exists that federal carbon limits will be imposed in the future and this study examines cases that include a reduction in CO2 emissions. Because the form of emission limits, should they be imposed, is not known, CO2 emissions are reported on both a lb/(gross) MWh and lb/(net) MWh basis in each capture case emissions table.
For the IGCC cases that have CO2 capture, the basis is a nominal 90 percent removal based on carbon input from the coal and excluding carbon that exits the gasifier with the slag. In the GEE and Shell cases, this was accomplished by using two SGS reactors, to convert CO to CO2, and a two-stage Selexol process with a second stage CO2 removal efficiency of 92 percent, a number that was supported by vendor quotes. The GEE CO2 capture case resulted in 90.3 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas. The Shell capture case resulted in 90.1 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas. In the CoP case, in order for the capture target of 90 percent to be achieved, a third SGS reactor was added and the Selexol efficiency was increased to 95 percent (the maximum removal efficiency supported by vendor quotes). This was done because of the high syngas methane content (1.5 vol% compared to 0.10 vol% in the GEE gasifier and 0.06 vol% in the Shell gasifier). The CoP capture case resulted in 90.4 percent reduction of CO2 in the syngas.
For PC and NGCC cases that have CO2 capture, it is assumed that all of the fuel carbon is converted to CO2 in the FG. CO2 is also generated from limestone in the FGD system, and 90 percent of the CO2 exiting the FGD absorber is subsequently captured using the Econamine technology.
The cost of CO2 capture was calculated as an avoided cost as illustrated in the equation below.
Analogous non-capture technologies and SC non-capture PC were chosen as separate reference cases. The COE in the CO2 capture cases includes TS&M as well as capture and compression.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 2.5 CAPACITY FACTOR This study assumes that each new plant would be dispatched any time it is available and would be capable of generating maximum capacity when online. Therefore, CF and availability are equal. The availability for PC and NGCC cases was determined using the Generating Availability Data System (GADS) from the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) [20]. Since there are only two operating IGCC plants in North America, the same database was not useful for determining IGCC availability. Rather, input from EPRI and their work on the CoalFleet for Tomorrow Initiative was used.
NERC defines an equivalent availability factor (EAF), which is essentially a measure of the plant CF assuming there is always a demand for the output. The EAF accounts for planned and scheduled derated hours as well as seasonal derated hours. As such, the EAF matches this studys definition of CF.
The average EAF for coal-fired plants in the 400-599 MW size range was 84.9 percent in 2004 and averaged 83.9 percent from 2000-2004. Given that many of the plants in this size range are older, the EAF was rounded up to 85 percent and that value was used as the PC plant CF.
The average EAF for NGCC plants in the 400-599 MW size range was 84.7 percent in 2004 and averaged 82.7 percent from 2000-2004. Using the same rationale as for PC plants, the EAF was rounded up to 85 percent and that value was also used as the NGCC plant CF.
EPRI examined the historical forced and scheduled outage times for IGCCs and concluded that the reliability factor (which looks at forced or unscheduled outage time only) for a single train IGCC (no spares) would be about 90 percent [21]. To get the availability factor, one has to deduct the scheduled outage time. In reality the scheduled outage time differs from gasifier technology-to-gasifier technology, but the differences are relatively small and would have minimal impact on the CF, so for this study it was assumed to be constant at a 30-day planned outage per year (or two 15-day outages). The planned outage would amount to 8.2 percent of the year, so the availability factor would be (90 percent - 8.2 percent), or 81.2 percent.
There are four operating IGCCs worldwide that use a solid feedstock and are primarily power producers (Polk, Wabash, Buggenum, and Puertollano). A 2006 report by Higman et al.
examined the reliability of these IGCC power generation units and concluded that typical annual on-stream times are around 80 percent [ 22]. The CF would be somewhat less than the on-stream time since most plants operate at less than full load for some portion of the operating year.
Given the results of the EPRI study and the Higman paper, a CF of 80 percent was chosen for IGCC with no spare gasifier required.
The addition of CO2 capture to each technology was assumed not to impact the CF. This assumption was made to enable a comparison based on the impact of capital and variable operating costs only. Any reduction in assumed CF would further increase the COE for the CO2 capture cases.
2.6 RAW WATER WITHDRAWAL AND CONSUMPTION A water balance was performed for each case on the major water consumers in the process. The total water demand for each subsystem was determined and internal recycle water available from various sources like BFW blowdown and condensate from syngas or FG (in CO2 capture cases) was applied to offset the water demand. The difference between demand and recycle is raw 41
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants water withdrawal. Raw water withdrawal is the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant. Raw water consumption is also accounted for as the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source it was withdrawn from.
Raw water makeup was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as cooling tower makeup, BFW makeup, slurry preparation makeup, ash handling makeup, syngas humidification, quench system makeup, and FGD system makeup. The difference between withdrawal and process water returned to the source is consumption. Consumption represents the net impact of the process on the water source.
BFW blowdown and a portion of the sour water stripper blowdown were assumed to be treated and recycled to the cooling tower. The cooling tower blowdown and the balance of the SWS blowdown streams were assumed to be treated and 90 percent returned to the water source with the balance sent to the ash ponds for evaporation.
The largest consumer of raw water in all cases is cooling tower makeup. It was assumed that all cases utilized a mechanical draft, evaporative cooling tower, and all process blowdown streams were assumed to be treated and recycled to the cooling tower. The design ambient wet bulb temperature of 11°C (51.5°F) (Exhibit 2-1) was used to achieve a cooling water temperature of 16°C (60°F) using an approach of 5°C (8.5°F). The cooling water range was assumed to be 11°C (20°F). The cooling tower makeup rate was determined using the following:[23]
- Evaporative losses of 0.8 percent of the circulating water flow rate per 10°F of range
- Drift losses of 0.001 percent of the circulating water flow rate
- Blowdown losses were calculated as follows:
o Blowdown Losses = Evaporative Losses / (Cycles of Concentration - 1)
Where cycles of concentration is a measure of water quality, and a mid-range value of 4 was chosen for this study.
The water balances presented in subsequent sections include the water demand of the major water consumers within the process, the amount provided by internal recycle, the amount of raw water withdrawal by difference, the amount of process water returned to the source and the raw water consumption, again by difference.
2.7 COST ESTIMATING METHODOLOGY The estimating methodology for capital costs, operations and maintenance costs, and CO2 TS&M costs are described below. The finance structure, basis for the discounted cash flow analysis, and first-year COE cost calculations are also described.
2.7.1 Capital Costs As illustrated in Exhibit 2-11, this study reports capital cost at four levels: Bare Erected Cost (BEC), Total Plant Cost (TPC), Total Overnight Cost (TOC) and Total As-spent Capital (TASC).
BEC, TPC and TOC are overnight costs and are expressed in base-year dollars. The base year is the first year of capital expenditure, which for this study is assumed to be 2007. TASC is 42
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants expressed in mixed-year, current-year dollars over the entire capital expenditure period, which is assumed to last five years coal plants (2007 to 2011) and three years for natural gas plants (2007 to 2009).
Exhibit 2-11 Capital Cost Levels and their Elements process equipment Bare Erected Cost supporting facilities BEC Total Plant Cost Total Overnight Cost direct and indirect labor TPC Total As-Spent Cost EPC contractor services process contingency TOC project contingency TASC preproduction costs inventory capital BEC, TPC and TOC are all financing costs overnight costs expressed other owners costs in base-year dollars.
TASC is expressed in mixed-escalation during capital expenditure period year current dollars, spread over the capital expenditure interest on debt during capital expenditure period period.
The BEC comprises the cost of process equipment, on-site facilities and infrastructure that support the plant (e.g., shops, offices, labs, road), and the direct and indirect labor required for its construction and/or installation. The cost of EPC services and contingencies is not included in BEC. BEC is an overnight cost expressed in base-year (2007) dollars.
The TPC comprises the BEC plus the cost of services provided by the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor and project and process contingencies. EPC services include:
detailed design, contractor permitting (i.e., those permits that individual contractors must obtain to perform their scopes of work, as opposed to project permitting, which is not included here),
and project/construction management costs. TPC is an overnight cost expressed in base-year (2007) dollars.
The TOC comprises the TPC plus owners costs. TOC is an overnight cost, expressed in base-year (2007) dollars and as such does not include escalation during construction or interest during construction. TOC is an overnight cost expressed in base-year (2007) dollars.
The TASC is the sum of all capital expenditures as they are incurred during the capital expenditure period including their escalation. TASC also includes interest during construction.
43
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Accordingly, TASC is expressed in mixed, current-year dollars over the capital expenditure period.
Cost Estimate Basis and Classification The TPC and Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs for each of the cases in the study were estimated by WorleyParsons using an in-house database and conceptual estimating models.
Costs were further calibrated using a combination of adjusted vendor-furnished and actual cost data from recent design projects.
Recommended Practice 18R-97 of the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering International (AACE) describes a Cost Estimate Classification System as applied in Engineering, Procurement and Construction for the process industries [24].
Most techno-economic studies completed by NETL feature cost estimates intended for the purpose of a Feasibility Study (AACE Class 4). Exhibit 2-12 describes the characteristics of an AACE Class 4 Cost Estimate. Cost estimates in this study have an expected accuracy range of -15%/+30%.
Exhibit 2-12 Features of an AACE Class 4 Cost Estimate Project Typical Engineering Completed Expected Accuracy Definition plant capacity, block schematics, indicated
-15% to -30% on the low layout, process flow diagrams for main process 1 to 15% side, and +20% to +50% on systems, and preliminary engineered process and the high side utility equipment lists System Code-of-Accounts The costs are grouped according to a process/system oriented code of accounts. This type of code-of-account structure has the advantage of grouping all reasonably allocable components of a system or process so they are included in the specific system account. (This would not be the case had a facility, area, or commodity account structure been chosen instead).
Non-CO2 Capture Plant Maturity The case estimates provided include technologies at different commercial maturity levels. The estimates for the non-CO2-capture PC and NGCC cases represent well-developed commercial technology or nth plants. The non-capture IGCC cases are also based on commercial offerings, however, there have been very limited sales of these units so far. These non-CO2-capture IGCC plant costs are less mature in the learning curve, and the costs listed reflect the next commercial offering level of cost rather than mature nth-of-a-kind (NOAK) cost. Thus, each of these cases reflects the expected cost for the next commercial sale of each of these respective technologies.
CO2 Removal Maturity The post-combustion CO2 removal technology for the PC and NGCC capture cases is immature technology. This technology remains unproven at commercial scale in power generation applications.
44
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The pre-combustion CO2 removal technology for the IGCC capture cases has a stronger commercial experience base. Pre-combustion CO2 removal from syngas streams has been proven in chemical processes with similar conditions to that in IGCC plants, but has not been demonstrated in IGCC applications. While no commercial IGCC plant yet uses CO2 removal technology in commercial service, there are currently IGCC plants with CO2 capture well along in the planning stages.
Contracting Strategy The estimates are based on an EPCM approach utilizing multiple subcontracts. This approach provides the Owner with greater control of the project, while minimizing, if not eliminating most of the risk premiums typically included in an Engineer/Procure/Construct (EPC) contract price.
In a traditional lump sum EPC contract, the Contractor assumes all risk for performance, schedule, and cost. However, as a result of current market conditions, EPC contractors appear more reluctant to assume that overall level of risk. Rather, the current trend appears to be a modified EPC approach where much of the risk remains with the Owner. Where Contractors are willing to accept the risk in EPC type lump-sum arrangements, it is reflected in the project cost.
In todays market, Contractor premiums for accepting these risks, particularly performance risk, can be substantial and increase the overall project costs dramatically.
The EPCM approach used as the basis for the estimates here is anticipated to be the most cost effective approach for the Owner. While the Owner retains the risks, the risks become reduced with time, as there is better scope definition at the time of contract award(s).
Estimate Scope The estimates represent a complete power plant facility on a generic site. The plant boundary limit is defined as the total plant facility within the fence line including coal receiving and water supply system, but terminating at the high voltage side of the main power transformers.
TS&M cost is not included in the reported capital cost or O&M costs, but is treated separately and added to the COE.
Capital Cost Assumptions WorleyParsons developed the capital cost estimates for each plant using the companys in-house database and conceptual estimating models for each of the specific technologies. This database and the respective models are maintained by WorleyParsons as part of a commercial power plant design base of experience for similar equipment in the companys range of power and process projects. A reference bottoms-up estimate for each major component provides the basis for the estimating models.
Other key estimate considerations include the following:
- Labor costs are based on Midwest, Merit Shop. The estimating models are based on U.S.
Gulf Coast and the labor has been factored to Midwest. The basis for the factors is the PAS, Inc. (PAS) Merit Shop Wage & Benefit Survey, which is published annually.
Based on the data provided in PAS, WorleyParsons used the weighted average payroll plus fringe rate for a standard craft distribution as developed for the estimating models.
PAS presents information for eight separate regions. For this study, Region 5 (IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, and WI) was selected.
45
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- The estimates are based on a competitive bidding environment, with adequate skilled craft labor available locally.
- Labor is based on a 50-hour work-week (5-10s). No additional incentives such as per-diems or bonuses have been included to attract craft labor.
- While not included at this time, labor incentives may ultimately be required to attract and retain skilled labor depending on the amount of competing work in the region, and the availability of skilled craft in the area at the time the projects proceed to construction.
- The estimates are based on a greenfield site.
- The site is considered to be Seismic Zone 1, relatively level, and free from hazardous materials, archeological artifacts, or excessive rock. Soil conditions are considered adequate for spread footing foundations. The soil bearing capability is assumed adequate such that piling is not needed to support the foundation loads.
- Costs are limited to within the fence line, terminating at the high voltage side of the main power transformers with the exception of costs included for TS&M, which are treated as an addition to COE.
- Engineering and Construction Management are estimated at 8-10 percent of BEC. These costs consist of all home office engineering and procurement services as well as field construction management costs. Site staffing generally includes a construction manager, resident engineer, scheduler, and personnel for project controls, document control, materials management, site safety, and field inspection.
Price Fluctuations During the course of this study, the prices of equipment and bulk materials fluctuated quite substantially. Some reference quotes pre-dated the 2007 year cost basis while others were received post-2007. All vendor quotes used to develop these estimates were adjusted to June 2007 dollars accounting for the price fluctuations. Adjustments of costs pre-dating 2007 benefitted from a vendor survey of actual and projected pricing increases from 2004 through mid-2007 that WorleyParsons conducted for another project. The results of that survey were used to validate/recalibrate the corresponding escalation factors used in the conceptual estimating models. The more recent economic down turn has resulted in a reduction of commodity prices such that many price indices have similar values in January 2010 compared to June 2007. For example, the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index was 532.7 in June 2007 and 532.9 in January 2010, and the Gross Domestic Product Chain-type Price Index was 106.7 on July 1, 2007 and 110.0 on January 1, 2010. While these overall indices are nearly constant, it should be noted that the cost of individual equipment types may still deviate from the June 2007 reference point.
Cross-comparisons In all technology comparison studies, the relative differences in costs are often more significant than the absolute level of TPC. This requires cross-account comparison between technologies to review the consistency of the direction of the costs.
In performing such a comparison, it is important to reference the technical parameters for each specific item, as these are the basis for establishing the costs. Scope or assumption differences 46
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants can quickly explain any apparent anomalies. There are a number of cases where differences in design philosophy occur. Some key examples are:
- The CT account in the GEE IGCC cases includes a syngas expander, which is not required for the CoP or Shell cases.
- The CTs for the IGCC capture cases include an additional cost for firing a high hydrogen content fuel.
- The Shell gasifier syngas cooling configuration is different between the CO2-capture and non-CO2-capture cases, resulting in a significant differential in thermal duty between the syngas coolers for the two cases.
Exclusions The capital cost estimate includes all anticipated costs for equipment and materials, installation labor, professional services (Engineering and Construction Management), and contingency. The following items are excluded from the capital costs:
- All taxes, with the exception of payroll and property taxes (property taxes are included with the fixed O&M costs)
- Site specific considerations - including, but not limited to, seismic zone, accessibility, local regulatory requirements, excessive rock, piles, laydown space, etc.
- Labor incentives in excess of 5-10s
- Additional premiums associated with an EPC contracting approach Contingency Process and project contingencies are included in estimates to account for unknown costs that are omitted or unforeseen due to a lack of complete project definition and engineering.
Contingencies are added because experience has shown that such costs are likely, and expected, to be incurred even though they cannot be explicitly determined at the time the estimate is prepared.
Capital cost contingencies do not cover uncertainties or risks associated with
- scope changes
- changes in labor availability or productivity
- delays in equipment deliveries
- changes in regulatory requirements
- unexpected cost escalation
- performance of the plant after startup (e.g., availability, efficiency)
Process Contingency Process contingency is intended to compensate for uncertainty in cost estimates caused by performance uncertainties associated with the development status of a technology. Process contingencies are applied to each plant section based on its current technology status.
47
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants As shown in Exhibit 2-13, AACE International Recommended Practice 16R-90 provides guidelines for estimating process contingency based on EPRI philosophy [25].
Process contingencies have been applied to the estimates in this study as follows:
- Slurry Prep and Feed - 5 percent on GE IGCC cases - systems are operating at approximately 800 psia as compared to 600 psia for the other IGCC cases
- Gasifiers and Syngas Coolers - 15 percent on all IGCC cases - next-generation commercial offering and integration with the power island
- Two Stage Selexol - 20 percent on all IGCC capture cases - unproven technology at commercial scale in IGCC service
- Mercury Removal - 5 percent on all IGCC cases - minimal commercial scale experience in IGCC applications
- CO2 Removal System - 20 percent on all PC/NGCC capture cases - post-combustion process unproven at commercial scale for power plant applications
- CTG - 5 percent on all IGCC non-capture cases - syngas firing and ASU integration; 10 percent on all IGCC capture cases - high hydrogen firing.
- Instrumentation and Controls - 5 percent on all IGCC accounts and 5 percent on the PC and NGCC capture cases - integration issues Exhibit 2-13 AACE Guidelines for Process Contingency Process Contingency Technology Status

New concept with limited data 40+

Project Contingency AACE 16R-90 states that project contingency for a budget-type estimate (AACE Class 4 or 5) should be 15 to 30 percent of the sum of BEC, EPC fees and process contingency. This was used as a general guideline, but some project contingency values outside of this range occur based on WorleyParsons in-house experience.
48
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Owners Costs Exhibit 2-15 explains the estimation method for owners costs. With some exceptions, the estimation method follows guidelines in Sections 12.4.7 to 12.4.12 of AACE International Recommended Practice No. 16R-90 [25]. The Electric Power Research Institutes Technical Assessment Guide (TAG) - Power Generation and Storage Technology Options also has guidelines for estimating owners costs. The EPRI and AACE guidelines are very similar. In instances where they differ, this study has sometimes adopted the EPRI approach.
Interest during construction and escalation during construction are not included as owners costs but are factored into the COE and are included in TASC. These costs vary based on the capital expenditure period and the financing scenario. Ratios of TASC/TOC determined from the PSFM are used to account for escalation and interest during construction. Given TOC, TASC can be determined from the ratios given in Exhibit 2-14.

- 6 months operating labor
- 1 month maintenance materials at full capacity
- 1 month non-fuel consumables at full capacity
- 1 month waste disposal Preproduction (Start-Up)
- 25% of one months fuel cost at full capacity Costs
- 2% of TPC Compared to AACE 16R-90, this includes additional costs for operating labor (6 months versus 1 month) to cover the cost of training the plant operators, including their participation in startup, and involving them occasionally during the design and construction. AACE 16R-90 and EPRI TAG differ on the amount of fuel cost to include; this estimate follows EPRI.
Working Although inventory capital (see below) is accounted for, no additional costs are included for working capital.
Capital
- 0.5% of TPC for spare parts
- 60 day supply (at full capacity) of fuel. Not applicable for natural gas.
Inventory
- 60 day supply (at full capacity) of non-fuel consumables (e.g., chemicals and catalysts) that are stored on site. Does Capital not include catalysts and adsorbents that are batch replacements such as WGS, COS, and SCR catalysts and activated carbon.
AACE 16R-90 does not include an inventory cost for fuel, but EPRI TAG does.
Land * $3,000/acre (300 acres for IGCC and PC, 100 acres for NGCC)
- 2.7% of TPC Financing This financing cost (not included by AACE 16R-90) covers the cost of securing financing, including fees and closing costs Cost but not including interest during construction (or AFUDC). The rule of thumb estimate (2.7% of TPC) is based on a 2008 private communication with a capital services firm.
50
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Owners Estimate Basis Cost
- 15% of TPC This additional lumped cost is not included by AACE 16R-90 or EPRI TAG. The rule of thumb estimate (15% of TPC) is based on a 2009 private communication with WorleyParsons. Significant deviation from this value is possible as it is very site and owner specific. The lumped cost includes:
Preliminary feasibility studies, including a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study Economic development (costs for incentivizing local collaboration and support)
Construction and/or improvement of roads and/or railroad spurs outside of site boundary Legal fees Permitting costs Owners engineering (staff paid by owner to give third-party advice and to help the owner oversee/evaluate the work of the EPC contractor and other contractors)
Other Owners contingency (Sometimes called management reserve, these are funds to cover costs relating to delayed Owners startup, fluctuations in equipment costs, unplanned labor incentives in excess of a five-day/ten-hour-per-day work Costs week. Owners contingency is NOT a part of project contingency.)
This lumped cost does NOT include:
EPC Risk Premiums (Costs estimates are based on an Engineering Procurement Construction Management approach utilizing multiple subcontracts, in which the owner assumes project risks for performance, schedule and cost)
Transmission interconnection: the cost of interconnecting with power transmission infrastructure beyond the plant busbar.
Taxes on capital costs: all capital costs are assumed to be exempt from state and local taxes.
Unusual site improvements: normal costs associated with improvements to the plant site are included in the bare erected cost, assuming that the site is level and requires no environmental remediation. Unusual costs associated with the following design parameters are excluded: flood plain considerations, existing soil/site conditions, water discharges and reuse, rainfall/snowfall criteria, seismic design, buildings/enclosures, fire protection, local code height requirements, noise regulations.
51
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 2.7.2 Operations and Maintenance Costs The production costs or operating costs and related maintenance expenses (O&M) pertain to those charges associated with operating and maintaining the power plants over their expected life. These costs include:
- Operating labor
- Maintenance - material and labor
- Administrative and support labor
- Consumables
- Fuel
- Waste disposal
- Co-product or by-product credit (that is, a negative cost for any by-products sold)
There are two components of O&M costs; fixed O&M, which is independent of power generation, and variable O&M, which is proportional to power generation.
Operating Labor Operating labor cost was determined based on of the number of operators required for each specific case. The average base labor rate used to determine annual cost is $34.65/hour. The associated labor burden is estimated at 30 percent of the base labor rate. Taxes and insurance are included as fixed O&M costs totaling 2 percent of the TPC.
Maintenance Material and Labor Maintenance cost was evaluated on the basis of relationships of maintenance cost to initial capital cost. This represents a weighted analysis in which the individual cost relationships were considered for each major plant component or section.
Administrative and Support Labor Labor administration and overhead charges are assessed at rate of 25 percent of the burdened O&M labor.
Consumables The cost of consumables, including fuel, was determined on the basis of individual rates of consumption, the unit cost of each specific consumable commodity, and the plant annual operating hours.
Quantities for major consumables such as fuel and sorbent were taken from technology-specific heat and mass balance diagrams developed for each plant application. Other consumables were evaluated on the basis of the quantity required using reference data.
The quantities for initial fills and daily consumables were calculated on a 100 percent operating capacity basis. The annual cost for the daily consumables was then adjusted to incorporate the annual plant operating basis, or CF.
Initial fills of the consumables, fuels and chemicals, are different from the initial chemical loadings, which are included with the equipment pricing in the capital cost.
52
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Waste Disposal Waste quantities and disposal costs were determined/evaluated similarly to the consumables. In this study both slag from the IGCC cases and fly ash and bottom ash from the PC cases are considered a waste with a disposal cost of $17.89/tonne ($16.23/ton). The carbon used for mercury control in the IGCC cases is considered a hazardous waste with disposal cost of
$926/tonne ($840/ton).
Co-Products and By-Products By-product quantities were also determined similarly to the consumables. However, due to the variable marketability of these by-products, specifically gypsum and sulfur, no credit was taken for their potential salable value.
It should be noted that by-product credits and/or disposal costs could potentially be an additional determining factor in the choice of technology for some companies and in selecting some sites.
A high local value of the product can establish whether or not added capital should be included in the plant costs to produce a particular co-product. Ash and slag are both potential by-products in certain markets, and in the absence of activated carbon injection in the PC cases, the fly ash would remain uncontaminated and have potential marketability. However, as stated above, the ash and slag are considered wastes in this study with a concomitant disposal cost.
2.7.3 CO2 Transport, Storage and Monitoring For those cases that feature carbon sequestration, the capital and operating costs for CO2 TS&M were independently estimated by NETL. Those costs were converted to a TS&M COE increment that was added to the plant COE.
CO2 TS&M was modeled based on the following assumptions:
- CO2 is supplied to the pipeline at the plant fence line at a pressure of 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia). The CO2 product gas composition varies in the cases presented, but is expected to meet the specification described in Exhibit 2-16 [26]. A glycol dryer located near the mid-point of the compression train is used to meet the moisture specification.
Exhibit 2-16 CO2 Pipeline Specification Parameter Units Parameter Value Inlet Pressure MPa (psia) 15.3 (2,215)
Outlet Pressure MPa (psia) 10.4 (1,515)
Inlet Temperature °C (°F) 35 (95)
N2 Concentration ppmv < 300 O2 Concentration ppmv < 40 Ar Concentration ppmv < 10 H2O Concentration ppmv < 150 53
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- The CO2 is transported 80 km (50 miles) via pipeline to a geologic sequestration field for injection into a saline formation.
- The CO2 is transported and injected as a SC fluid in order to avoid two-phase flow and achieve maximum efficiency [27]. The pipeline is assumed to have an outlet pressure (above the SC pressure) of 8.3 MPa (1,200 psia) with no recompression along the way.
Accordingly, CO2 flow in the pipeline was modeled to determine the pipe diameter that results in a pressure drop of 6.9 MPa (1,000 psi) over an 80 km (50 mile) pipeline length
[28]. (Although not explored in this study, the use of boost compressors and a smaller pipeline diameter could possibly reduce capital costs for sufficiently long pipelines.) The diameter of the injection pipe will be of sufficient size that frictional losses during injection are minimal and no booster compression is required at the well-head in order to achieve an appropriate down-hole pressure, with hydrostatic head making up the difference between the injection and reservoir pressure.
- The saline formation is at a depth of 1,236 m (4,055 ft) and has a permeability of 22 millidarcy (md) (22 m2) and formation pressure of 8.4 MPa (1,220 psig) [ 29]. This is considered an average storage site and requires roughly one injection well for each 9,360 tonnes (10,320 short tons) of CO2 injected per day [29]. The assumed aquifer characteristics are tabulated in Exhibit 2-17.
The cost metrics utilized in this study provide a best estimate of TS&M costs for a favorable sequestration project, and may vary significantly based on variables such as terrain to be crossed by the pipeline, reservoir characteristics, and number of land owners from which sub-surface rights must be acquired. Raw capital and operating costs are derived from detailed cost metrics found in the literature, escalated to June 2007-year dollars using appropriate price indices. These costs were then verified against values quoted by industrial sources where possible. Where regulatory uncertainty exists or costs are undefined, such as liability costs and the acquisition of underground pore volume, analogous existing policies were used for representative cost scenarios.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants TS&M Captial Costs TS&M capital costs include both a 20 percent process contingency and 30 percent project contingency.
In several areas, such as Pore Volume Acquisition, Monitoring, and Liability, cost outlays occur over a longer time period, up to 100 years. In these cases a capital fund is established based on the net present value of the cost outlay, and this fund is then levelized similar to the other costs.
Transport Costs CO2 transport costs are broken down into three categories: pipeline costs, related capital expenditures, and O&M costs.
Pipeline costs are derived from data published in the Oil and Gas Journals (O&GJ) annual Pipeline Economics Report for existing natural gas, oil, and petroleum pipeline project costs from 1991 to 2003. These costs are expected to be analogous to the cost of building a CO2 pipeline, as noted in various studies [27, 29, 30]. The University of California performed a regression analysis to generate cost curves from the O&GJ data: (1) Pipeline Materials, (2)
Direct Labor, (3) Indirect Costs, and (4) Right-of-way acquisition, with each represented as a function of pipeline length and diameter [30]. These cost curves were escalated to the June 2007 year dollars used in this study.
Related capital expenditures were based on the findings of a previous study funded by DOE/NETL, Carbon Dioxide Sequestration in Saline Formations - Engineering and Economic Assessment [29]. This study utilized a similar basis for pipeline costs (O&GJ Pipeline cost data up to the year 2000) but added a CO2 surge tank and pipeline control system to the project.
Transport O&M costs were assessed using metrics published in a second DOE/NETL sponsored report entitled Economic Evaluation of CO2 Storage and Sink Enhancement Options [27]. This study was chosen due to the reporting of O&M costs in terms of pipeline length, whereas the other studies mentioned above either (a) do not report operating costs, or (b) report them in absolute terms for one pipeline, as opposed to as a length- or diameter-based metric.
Storage Costs Storage costs were divided into five categories: (1) Site Screening and Evaluation, (2) Injection Wells, (3) Injection Equipment, (4) O&M Costs, and (5) Pore Volume Acquisition. With the exception of Pore Volume Acquisition, all of the costs were obtained from Economic Evaluation of CO2 Storage and Sink Enhancement Options [27]. These costs include all of the costs associated with determining, developing, and maintaining a CO2 storage location, including site evaluation, well drilling, and the capital equipment required for distributing and injecting CO2.
Pore Volume Acquisition costs are the costs associated with acquiring rights to use the sub-surface volume where the CO2 will be stored, i.e., the pore space in the geologic formation.
These costs were based on recent research by Carnegie Mellon University, which examined existing sub-surface rights acquisition as it pertains to natural gas storage [31]. The regulatory uncertainty in this area combined with unknowns regarding the number and type (private or government) of property owners, require a number of best engineering judgment decisions to be made. In this study it was assumed that long-term lease rights were acquired from the property owners in the projected CO2 plume growth region for a nominal fee, and that an annual rent was paid when the plume reached each individual acre of their property for a period of up 55
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants to 100 years from the injection start date. The present value of the life cycle pore volume costs are assessed at a 10 percent discount rate and a capital fund is set up to pay for these costs over the 100 year rent scenario.
Liability Protection Liability Protection addresses the fact that if damages are caused by injection and long-term storage of CO2, the injecting party may bear financial liability. Several types of liability protection schemes have been suggested for CO2 storage, including Bonding, Insurance, and Federal Compensation Systems combined with either tort law (as with the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Fund), or with damage caps and preemption, as is used for nuclear energy under the Price Anderson Act [32]. However, at present, a specific liability regime has yet to be dictated either at a Federal or (to our knowledge) State level. However, certain state governments have enacted legislation, which assigns liability to the injecting party, either in perpetuity (Wyoming) or until ten years after the cessation of injection operations, pending reservoir integrity certification, at which time liability is turned over to the state (North Dakota and Louisiana) [33,34,35]. In the case of Louisiana, a trust fund totaling five million dollars is established over the first ten years (120 months) of injection operations for each injector. This fund is then used by the state for CO2 monitoring and, in the event of an at-fault incident, damage payments.
Liability costs assume that a bond must be purchased before injection operations are permitted in order to establish the ability and good will of an injector to address damages where they are deemed liable. A figure of five million dollars was used for the bond based on the Louisiana fund level. This bond level may be conservatively high, in that the Louisiana fund covers both liability and monitoring, but that fund also pertains to a certified reservoir where injection operations have ceased, having a reduced risk compared to active operations. The bond cost was not escalated.
Monitoring Costs Monitoring costs were evaluated based on the methodology set forth in the International Energy Agency (IEA) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) R&D Programmes Overview of Monitoring Projects for Geologic Storage Projects report [36]. In this scenario, operational monitoring of the CO2 plume occurs over 30 years (during plant operation) and closure monitoring occurs for the following fifty years (for a total of eighty years). Monitoring is via electromagnetic (EM) survey, gravity survey, and periodic seismic survey; EM and gravity surveys are ongoing while seismic survey occurs in years 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 during the operational period, then in years 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 after injection ceases.
2.7.4 Finance Structure, Discounted Cash Flow Analysis, and COE The global economic assumptions are listed in Exhibit 2-18.
Finance structures were chosen based on the assumed type of developer/owner (investor-owned utility (IOU) or independent power producer) and the assumed risk profile of the plant being assessed (low-risk or high-risk). For this study the owner/developer was assumed to be an IOU.
All IGCC cases as well as PC and NGCC cases with CO2 capture were considered high risk.
The non-capture PC and NGCC cases were considered low risk. Exhibit 2-19 describes the low-risk IOU and high-risk IOU finance structures that were assumed for this study. These finance 56
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants structures were recommended in a 2008 NETL report based on interviews with project developers/owners, financial organizations and law firms [37].

3 An average annual inflation rate of 3.0 percent is assumed. This rate is equivalent to the average annual escalation rate between 1947 and 2008 for the U.S. Department of Labor's Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, the so-called "headline" index of the various Producer Price Indices. (The Producer Price Index for the Electric Power Generation Industry may be more applicable, but that data does not provide a long-term historical perspective since it only dates back to December 2003.)

DCF Analysis and Cost of Electricity The NETL Power Systems Financial Model (PSFM) is a nominal-dollar 4 (current dollar) discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis tool. As explained below, the PSFM was used to calculate COE 5 in two ways: a COE and a levelized COE (LCOE). To illustrate how the two are related, COE solutions are shown in Exhibit 2-20 for a generic pulverized coal (PC) power plant and a generic natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant, each with carbon capture and sequestration installed.
- The COE is the revenue received by the generator per net megawatt-hour during the power plants first year of operation, assuming that the COE escalates thereafter at a nominal annual rate equal to the general inflation rate, i.e., that it remains constant in real terms over the operational period of the power plant. To calculate the COE, the PSFM was used to determine a base-year (2007) COE that, when escalated at an assumed nominal annual general inflation rate of 3 percent 6, provided the stipulated internal rate of return on equity over the entire economic analysis period (capital expenditure period plus thirty years of operation). The COE solutions are shown as curved lines in the upper portion of Exhibit 2-20 for a PC power plant and a NGCC power plant. Since this analysis assumes that COE increases over the economic analysis period at the nominal annual general inflation rate, it remains constant in real terms and the first-year COE is equivalent to the base-year COE when expressed in base-year (2007) dollars.
4 Since the analysis takes into account taxes and depreciation, a nominal dollar basis is preferred to properly reflect the interplay between depreciation and inflation.
5 For this calculation, cost of electricity is somewhat of a misnomer because from the power plants perspective it is actually the price received for the electricity generated to achieve the stated IRROE. However, since the price paid for generation is ultimately charged to the end user, from the customers perspective it is part of the cost of electricity.
6 This nominal escalation rate is equal to the average annual inflation rate between 1947 and 2008 for the U.S.
Department of Labors Producer Price Index for Finished Goods. This index was used instead of the Producer Price Index for the Electric Power Generation Industry because the Electric Power Index only dates back to December 2003 and the Producer Price Index is considered the headline index for all of the various Producer Price Indices.

- The LEVELIZED COE is the revenue received by the generator per net megawatt-hour during the power plants first year of operation, assuming that the COE escalates thereafter at a nominal annual rate of 0 percent, i.e., that it remains constant in nominal terms over the operational period of the power plant. This study reports LCOE on a current-dollar basis over thirty years. Current dollar refers to the fact that levelization is done on a nominal, rather than a real, basis 7. Thirty-years refers to the length of the operational period assumed for the economic analysis. To calculate the LCOE, the PSFM was used to calculate a base-year COE that, when escalated at a nominal annual rate of 0 percent, provided the stipulated return on equity over the entire economic analysis period. For the example PC and NGCC power plant cases, the LCOE solutions are shown as horizontal lines in the upper portion of Exhibit 2-20.
Exhibit 2-20 also illustrates the relationship between COE and the assumed developmental and operational timelines for the power plants. As shown in the lower portion of Exhibit 2-20, the capital expenditure period is assumed to start in 2007 for all cases in this report. All capital costs included in this analysis, including project development and construction costs, are assumed to be incurred during the capital expenditure period. Coal-fueled plants are assumed to have a capital expenditure period of five years and natural gas-fueled plants are assumed to have a capital expenditure period of three years. Since both types of plants begin expending capital in the base year (2007), this means that the analysis assumes that they begin operating in different years: 2012 for coal plants and 2010 for natural gas plants in this study. Note that, according to the Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index, June-2007 dollars are nearly equivalent to January-2010 dollars.
7 For this current-dollar analysis, the LCOE is uniform in current dollars over the analysis period. In contrast, a constant-dollar analysis would yield an LCOE that is uniform in constant dollars over the analysis period.
59
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Exhibit 2-20 Illustration of COE Solutions using DCF Analysis In addition to the capital expenditure period, the economic analysis considers thirty years of operation for both coal and natural gas plants.
Since 2007 is the first year of the capital expenditure period, it is also the base year for the economic analysis. Accordingly, it is convenient to report the results of the economic analysis in base-year (June 2007) dollars, except for TASC, which is expressed in mixed-year, current dollars over the capital expenditure period.
Consistent with our nominal-dollar discounted cash flow methodology, the COEs shown on Exhibit 2-20 are expressed in current dollars. However, they can also be expressed in constant, base year dollars (June 2007) as shown in Exhibit 2-21 by adjusting them with the assumed nominal annual general inflation rate (3 percent).
Exhibit 2-21 illustrates the same information as in Exhibit 2-20 for a PC plant with CCS only on a constant 2007 dollar basis. With an assumed nominal COE escalation rate equal to the rate of inflation, the COE line now becomes horizontal and the LCOE decreases at a rate of 3 percent per year.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Exhibit 2-21 PC with CCS in Current 2007 Dollars Estimating COE with Capital Charge Factors For scenarios that adhere to the global economic assumptions listed in Exhibit 2-18 and utilize one of the finance structures listed in Exhibit 2-19, the following simplified equation can be used to estimate COE as a function of TOC 8, fixed O&M, variable O&M (including fuel), capacity factor and net output. The equation requires the application of one of the capital charge factors (CCF) listed in Exhibit 2-22. These CCFs are valid only for the global economic assumptions listed in Exhibit 2-18, the stated finance structure, and the stated capital expenditure period.
8 Although TOC is used in the simplified COE equation, the CCF that multiplies it accounts for escalation during construction and interest during construction (along with other factors related to the recovery of capital costs).

Accordingly, all first-year costs (COE and O&M) are equivalent to base-year costs when expressed in base-year (2007) dollars.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The primary cost metric in this study is the COE, which is the base-year cost presented in base-year dollars. Exhibit 2-23 presents this cost metric along with the COE escalated to the first year of operation (2010 for NGCC cases and 2012 for coal cases) using the average annual inflation rate of 3 percent. Similarly, the LCOE is presented in both base-year dollars and first year of operation dollars. Using a similar methodology, the reader may generate either metric in the desired cost year basis.

Plant size ranges from 622 - 629 MW (net) for non-capture cases and 497 - 543 MW (net) for capture cases.
Within the power industry there are several power producers interested in pursuing construction of an IGCC plant. While these projects are still in the relatively early stages of development, some cost estimates have been published. Published estimates tend to be limited in detail, leaving it to the reader to speculate as to what is contained within the estimate. In November 2007, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approved Duke Energys proposal to build an IGCC plant in Edwardsport, Indiana. The estimated cost to build the 630 MW plant is
$4,472/kW in June 2007 dollars. Duke expects the plant to begin operation in 2012. Other published estimates for similar proposed non-CO2 capture gasification plants range from
$2,483/kW to $3,122/kW in June 2007 dollars. Corresponding plant sizes range form 770 - 600 63
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants MW, respectively. Published estimates from similar CO2 capture facilities range from
$4,581/kW to $5,408/kW, in June 2007 dollars, with sizes ranging from 400 to 580 MW

- 3. IGCC POWER PLANTS Six IGCC power plant configurations were evaluated and the results are presented in this section.
Each design is based on a market-ready technology that is assumed to be commercially available to support startup.
The six cases are based on the GEE gasifier, the CoP E-Gas' gasifier and the Shell gasifier, each with and without CO2 capture. As discussed in Section 1, the net output for the six cases varies because of the constraint imposed by the fixed GT output and the high auxiliary loads imparted by the CO2 capture process.
The CT is based on an advanced F-class design. The HRSG/steam turbine cycle varies based on the CT exhaust conditions. Steam conditions range from 12.4 MPa/559°C/559°C (1800 psig/1038°F/1038°F) to 12.4 MPa/562°C/562°C (1800 psig/1043°F/1043°F) for all of the non-CO2 capture cases and 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/993°F/993°F) to 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/994°F/994°F) for all of the CO2 capture cases. The capture cases have a lower main and reheat steam temperature primarily because the turbine firing temperature is reduced to allow for a parts life equivalent to NGCC operation with a high-hydrogen content fuel, which results in a lower turbine exhaust temperature.
The evaluation scope included developing heat and mass balances and estimating plant performance. Equipment lists were developed for each design to support plant capital and operating cost estimates. The evaluation basis details, including site ambient conditions, fuel composition and environmental targets, were provided in Section 2. Section 3.1 covers general information that is common to all IGCC cases, and case specific information is subsequently presented in Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.
3.1 IGCC COMMON PROCESS AREAS The IGCC cases have process areas, which are common to each plant configuration such as coal receiving and storage, oxygen supply, gas cleanup, power generation, etc. As detailed descriptions of these process areas for each case would be burdensome and repetitious, they are presented in this section for general background information. Where there is case-specific performance information, the performance features are presented in the relevant case sections.
3.1.1 Coal Receiving and Storage The function of the Coal Receiving and Storage system is to unload, convey, prepare, and store the coal delivered to the plant. The scope of the system is from the trestle bottom dumper and coal receiving hoppers up to and including the slide gate valves at the outlet of the coal storage silos. Coal receiving and storage is identical for all six IGCC cases; however, coal preparation and feed are gasifier-specific.
Operation Description - The coal is delivered to the site by 100-car unit trains comprised of 91 tonne (100 ton) rail cars. The unloading is done by a trestle bottom dumper, which unloads the coal into two receiving hoppers. Coal from each hopper is fed directly into a vibratory feeder.
The 8 cm x 0 (3" x 0) coal from the feeder is discharged onto a belt conveyor. Two conveyors with an intermediate transfer tower are assumed to convey the coal to the coal stacker, which transfer the coal to either the long-term storage pile or to the reclaim area. The conveyor passes under a magnetic plate separator to remove tramp iron and then to the reclaim pile.
67
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The reclaimer loads the coal into two vibratory feeders located in the reclaim hopper under the pile. The feeders transfer the coal onto a belt conveyor that transfers the coal to the coal surge bin located in the crusher tower. The coal is reduced in size to 3 cm x 0 (11/4" x 0) by the crusher. A conveyor then transfers the coal to a transfer tower. In the transfer tower the coal is routed to the tripper, which loads the coal into one of three silos. Two sampling systems are supplied: the as-received sampling system and the as-fired sampling system. Data from the analyses are used to support the reliable and efficient operation of the plant.
3.1.2 Air Separation Unit (ASU) Choice and Integration In order to economically and efficiently support IGCC projects, air separation equipment has been modified and improved in response to production requirements and the consistent need to increase single train output. Elevated pressure air separation designs have been implemented that result in distillation column operating pressures that are about twice as high as traditional plants. In this study, the main air compressor discharge pressure was set at 1.3 MPa (190 psia) compared to a traditional ASU plant operating pressure of about 0.7 MPa (105 psia) [ 42]. For IGCC designs the elevated pressure ASU process minimizes power consumption and decreases the size of some of the equipment items. When the air supply to the ASU is integrated with the GT, the ASU operates at or near the supply pressure from the GTs air compressor.
Residual Nitrogen Injection The residual nitrogen that is available after gasifier oxygen and nitrogen requirements have been met is often compressed and sent to the GT. Since all product streams are being compressed, the ASU air feed pressure is optimized to reduce the total power consumption and to provide a good match with available compressor frame sizes.
Increasing the diluent flow to the GT by injecting residual nitrogen from the ASU can have a number of benefits, depending on the design of the GT:
- Increased diluent increases mass flow through the turbine, thus increasing the power output of the GT while maintaining optimum firing temperatures for syngas operation.
This is particularly beneficial for locations where the ambient temperature and/or elevation are high and the GT would normally operate at reduced output.
- By mixing with the syngas or by being injected directly into the combustor, the diluent nitrogen lowers the firing temperature (relative to natural gas) and reduces the formation of thermal NOx.
In this study, the ASU nitrogen product was used as the primary diluent with a design target of reducing the syngas lower heating value (LHV) to 4.4-4.7 MJ/Nm3 (119-125 Btu/scf). If the amount of available nitrogen was not sufficient to meet this target, additional dilution was provided through syngas humidification, and if still more dilution was required, the third option was steam injection.
Air Integration Integration between the ASU and the CT can be practiced by extracting some, or all, of the ASUs air requirement from the GT. Medium British thermal unit (Btu) syngas streams result in a higher mass flow than natural gas to provide the same heat content to the GT. Some GT designs may need to extract air to maintain stable compressor or turbine operation in response to increased fuel flow rates. Other GTs may balance air extraction against injection of all of the 68
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants available nitrogen from the ASU. The amount of air extracted can also be varied as the ambient temperature changes at a given site to optimize year-round performance.
An important aspect of air-integrated designs is the need to efficiently recover the heat of compression contained in the air extracted from the GT. Extraction air temperature is normally in the range 399 - 454°C (750 - 850°F), and must be cooled to the last stage main air compressor discharge temperature prior to admission to the ASU. High-level recovery from the extracted air occurs by transferring heat to the nitrogen stream to be injected into the GT with a gas-to-gas heat exchanger.
Elevated Pressure ASU Experience in Gasification The Buggenum, Netherlands unit built for Demkolec was the first elevated-pressure, fully integrated ASU to be constructed. It was designed to produce up to 1,796 tonnes/day (1,980 tons per day [TPD]) of 95 percent purity oxygen for a Shell coal-based gasification unit that fuels a Siemens V94.2 GT. In normal operation at the Buggenum plant the ASU receives all of its air supply from and sends all residual nitrogen to the GT.
The Polk County, Florida ASU for the Tampa Electric IGCC is also an elevated-pressure, 95 percent purity oxygen design that provides 1,832 tonnes/day (2,020 TPD) of oxygen to a GEE coal-based gasification unit, which fuels a General Electric 7FA GT. All of the nitrogen produced in the ASU is used in the GT. The original design did not allow for air extraction from the CT. After a CT air compressor failure in January, 2005, a modification was made to allow air extraction, which in turn eliminated a bottleneck in ASU capacity and increased overall power output [43].
ASU Basis For this study, air integration is used for the non-carbon capture cases only. In the CO2 capture cases, once the syngas is diluted to the target heating value, all of the available combustion air is required to maintain mass flow through the turbine and hence maintain power output.
The amount of air extracted from the GT in the non-capture cases is determined through a process that includes the following constraints:
- The diluted syngas must meet heating value requirements specified by a CT vendor, which ranged from 4.4-4.7 MJ/Nm3 (119-125 Btu/scf).
Meeting the above constraints resulted in different levels of air extraction in the three non-carbon capture cases as shown in Exhibit 3-1. It was not a goal of this project to optimize the integration of the CT and the ASU, although several recent papers have shown that providing 25-30 percent of the ASU air from the turbine compressor provides the best balance between maximizing plant output and efficiency without compromising plant availability or reliability
[44,45].

The air separation plant is designed to produce 95 mole percent (mol%) O2 for use in the gasifier.
The plant is designed with two production trains, one for each gasifier. The air compressor is powered by an electric motor. Nitrogen is also recovered, compressed, and used as dilution in the GT combustor. A process schematic of a typical ASU is shown in Exhibit 3-2.
The air feed to the ASU is supplied from two sources. A portion of the air is extracted from the compressor of the GT (non-CO2 capture cases only). The remaining air is supplied from a stand-alone compressor. Air to the stand-alone compressor is first filtered in a suction filter upstream of the compressor. This air filter removes particulate, which may tend to cause compressor wheel erosion and foul intercoolers. The filtered air is then compressed in the centrifugal compressor, with intercooling between each stage.
Air from the stand-alone compressor is combined with the extraction air, and the combined stream is cooled and fed to an adsorbent-based pre-purifier system. The adsorbent removes water, CO2, and C4+ saturated hydrocarbons in the air. After passing through the adsorption beds, the air is filtered with a dust filter to remove any adsorbent fines that may be present.
Downstream of the dust filter a small stream of air is withdrawn to supply the instrument air requirements of the ASU.
Regeneration of the adsorbent in the pre-purifiers is accomplished by passing a hot nitrogen stream through the off-stream bed(s) in a direction countercurrent to the normal airflow. The nitrogen is heated against extraction steam (1.7 MPa [250 psia]) in a shell and tube heat exchanger. The regeneration nitrogen drives off the adsorbed contaminants. Following regeneration, the heated bed is cooled to near normal operating temperature by passing a cool nitrogen stream through the adsorbent beds. The bed is re-pressurized with air and placed on stream so that the current on-stream bed(s) can be regenerated.
The air from the pre-purifier is then split into three streams. About 70 percent of the air is fed directly to the cold box. About 25 percent of the air is compressed in an air booster compressor.
This boosted air is then cooled in an aftercooler against cooling water in the first stage and against chilled water in the second stage before it is fed to the cold box. The chiller utilizes low-pressure (LP) process steam at 0.3 MPa (50 psia) to drive the absorption refrigeration cycle. The remaining five percent of the air is fed to a turbine-driven, single-stage, centrifugal booster compressor. This stream is cooled in a shell and tube aftercooler against cooling water before it is fed to the cold box.
70
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants All three air feeds are cooled in the cold box to cryogenic temperatures against returning product oxygen and nitrogen streams in plate-and-fin heat exchangers. The large air stream is fed directly to the first distillation column to begin the separation process. The second largest air stream is liquefied against boiling liquid oxygen before it is fed to the distillation columns. The third, smallest air stream is fed to the cryogenic expander to produce refrigeration to sustain the cryogenic separation process.
Inside the cold box the air is separated into oxygen and nitrogen products. The oxygen product is withdrawn from the distillation columns as a liquid and is pressurized by a cryogenic pump.
The pressurized liquid oxygen is then vaporized against the high-pressure (HP) air feed before being warmed to ambient temperature. The gaseous oxygen exits the cold box and is fed to the centrifugal compressor with intercooling between each stage of compression. The compressed oxygen is then fed to the gasification unit.
Nitrogen is produced from the cold box at two pressure levels. LP nitrogen is split into two streams. The majority of the LP nitrogen is compressed and fed to the GT as diluent nitrogen. A small portion of the nitrogen is used as the regeneration gas for the pre-purifiers and recombined with the diluent nitrogen. A HP nitrogen stream is also produced from the cold box and is further compressed before it is also supplied to the GT.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.1.3 Water Gas Shift Reactors Selection of Technology - In the cases with CO2 separation and capture, the gasifier product must be converted to hydrogen-rich syngas. The first step is to convert most of the syngas CO to hydrogen (H2) and CO2 by reacting the CO with water over a bed of catalyst. The H2O:CO molar ratio in the shift reaction, shown below, is adjusted to approximately 2: 1 by the addition of steam to the syngas stream thus promoting a high conversion of CO. In the cases without CO2 separation and capture, CO shift convertors are not required.
Water Gas Shift: CO + H2O CO2 + H2 The CO shift converter can be located either upstream of the AGR step (SGS) or immediately downstream (sweet gas shift). If the CO converter is located downstream of the AGR, then the metallurgy of the unit is less stringent but additional equipment must be added to the process.
Products from the gasifier are humidified with steam or water and contain a portion of the water vapor necessary to meet the water-to-gas criteria at the reactor inlet. If the CO converter is located downstream of the AGR, then the gasifier product would first have to be cooled and the free water separated and treated. Then additional steam would have to be generated and re-injected into the CO converter feed to meet the required water-to-gas ratio. If the CO converter is located upstream of the AGR step, no additional equipment is required. This is because the CO converter promotes carbonyl sulfide (COS) hydrolysis without a separate catalyst bed.
Therefore, for this study the CO converter was located upstream of the AGR unit and is referred to as SGS.
Process Description - The SGS consists of two paths of parallel fixed-bed reactors arranged in series. Two reactors in series are used in each parallel path to achieve sufficient conversion to meet the 90 percent CO2 capture target. In the CoP case, a third shift reactor is added to each path to increase the CO conversion because of the relatively high amount of CH4 present in the syngas. With the third reactor added, CO2 capture is 90.4 percent in the CoP case.
Cooling is provided between the series of reactors to control the exothermic temperature rise.
The parallel set of reactors is required due to the high gas mass flow rate. In all three CO2 capture cases the heat exchanger after the first SGS reactor is used to vaporize water that is then used to adjust the syngas H2O:CO ratio to 2:1 on a molar basis. The heat exchanger after the second SGS reactor is used to raise intermediate pressure (IP) steam, which then passes through the reheater (RH) section of the HRSG in the GEE and CoP cases, and is used to preheat the syngas prior to the first SGS reactor in the Shell case. Approximately 97 percent conversion of the CO is achieved in the GEE and Shell cases, and about 98 percent conversion is achieved in the CoP case.
3.1.4 Mercury Removal An IGCC power plant has the potential of removing mercury in a more simple and cost-effective manner than conventional PC plants. This is because mercury can be removed from the syngas at elevated pressure and prior to combustion so that syngas volumes are much smaller than FG volumes in comparable PC cases. A conceptual design for an activated, sulfur-impregnated, carbon bed adsorption system was developed for mercury control in the IGCC plants being studied. Data on the performance of carbon bed systems were obtained from the Eastman Chemical Company, which uses carbon beds at its syngas facility in Kingsport, Tennessee [13].
72
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The coal mercury content (0.15 ppm dry) and carbon bed removal efficiency (95 percent) were discussed previously in Section 2.4. IGCC-specific design considerations are discussed below.
Carbon Bed Location - The packed carbon bed vessels are located upstream of the sulfur recovery unit (SRU) and syngas enters at a temperature near 38°C (100°F). Consideration was given to locating the beds further upstream before the COS hydrolysis unit (in non-CO2 capture cases) at a temperature near 204°C (400°F). However, while the mercury removal efficiency of carbon has been found to be relatively insensitive to pressure variations, temperature adversely affects the removal efficiency [47]. Eastman Chemical also operates their beds ahead of their SRU at a temperature of 30°C (86°F) [13].
Consideration was also given to locating the beds downstream of the SRU. However, it was felt that removing the mercury and other contaminants before the SRU would enhance the performance of the SRU and increase the life of the various solvents.
Process Parameters - An empty vessel basis gas residence time of approximately 20 seconds was used based on Eastman Chemicals experience [13]. Allowable gas velocities are limited by considerations of particle entrainment, bed agitation, and pressure drop. One-foot-per-second superficial velocity is in the middle of the range normally encountered [47] and was selected for this application.
The bed density of 30 lb/ft3 was based on the Calgon Carbon Corporation HGR-P sulfur-impregnated pelletized activated carbon [48]. These parameters determined the size of the vessels and the amount of carbon required. Each gasifier train has one mercury removal bed and there are two gasifier trains in each IGCC case, resulting in two carbon beds per case.
Carbon Replacement Time - Eastman Chemicals replaces its bed every 18 to 24 months [13].
However, bed replacement is not because of mercury loading, but for other reasons including:
- A buildup in pressure drop
- A buildup of water in the bed
- A buildup of other contaminants For this study a 24 month carbon replacement cycle was assumed. Under these assumptions, the mercury loading in the bed would build up to 0.6 - 1.1 weight percent (wt%). Mercury capacity of sulfur-impregnated carbon can be as high as 20 wt% [49]. The mercury laden carbon is considered to be a hazardous waste, and the disposal cost estimate reflects this categorization.
3.1.5 Acid Gas Removal (AGR) Process Selection Gasification of coal to generate power produces a syngas that must be treated prior to further utilization. A portion of the treatment consists of AGR and sulfur recovery. The environmental target for these IGCC cases is 0.0128 lb SO2/MMBtu, which requires that the total sulfur content of the syngas be reduced to less than 30 ppmv. This includes all sulfur species, but in particular the total of COS and H2S, thereby resulting in stack gas emissions of less than 4 ppmv SO2.
COS Hydrolysis The use of COS hydrolysis pretreatment in the feed to the AGR process provides a means to reduce the COS concentration. This method was first commercially proven at the Buggenum plant, and was also used at both the Tampa Electric and Wabash River IGCC projects. Several 73
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants catalyst manufacturers including Haldor Topsoe and Porocel offer a catalyst that promotes the COS hydrolysis reaction. The non-carbon capture COS hydrolysis reactor designs are based on information from Porocel. In cases with CO2 capture, the SGS reactors reduce COS to H2S as discussed in Section 3.1.3.
The COS hydrolysis reaction is equimolar with a slightly exothermic heat of reaction. The reaction is represented as follows.
COS + H2O CO2 + H2S Since the reaction is exothermic, higher conversion is achieved at lower temperatures. However, at lower temperatures the reaction kinetics are slower. Based on the feed gas for this evaluation, Porocel recommended a temperature of 177 to 204°C (350 to 400°F). Since the exit gas COS concentration is critical to the amount of H2S that must be removed with the AGR process, a retention time of 50-75 seconds was used to achieve 99.5 percent conversion of the COS. The Porocel activated alumina-based catalyst, designated as Hydrocel 640 catalyst, promotes the COS hydrolysis reaction without promoting reaction of H2S and CO to form COS and H2.
Although the reaction is exothermic, the heat of reaction is dissipated among the large amount of non-reacting components. Therefore, the reaction is essentially isothermal. The product gas, now containing less than 4 ppmv of COS, is cooled prior to entering the mercury removal process and the AGR.
Sulfur Removal H2S removal generally consists of absorption by a regenerable solvent. The most commonly used technique is based on countercurrent contact with the solvent. Acid-gas-rich solution from the absorber is stripped of its acid gas in a regenerator, usually by application of heat. The regenerated lean solution is then cooled and recirculated to the top of the absorber, completing the cycle. Exhibit 3-3 is a simplified diagram of the AGR process [50].
There are well over 30 AGR processes in common commercial use throughout the oil, chemical, and natural gas industries. However, in a 2002 report by SFA Pacific a list of 42 operating and planned gasifiers shows that only six AGR processes are represented: Rectisol, Sulfinol, MDEA, Selexol, aqueous di-isoproponal (ADIP) amine, and FLEXSORB [52]. These processes can be separated into three general types: chemical reagents, physical solvents, and hybrid solvents.
74
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Exhibit 3-3 Flow Diagram for a Conventional AGR Unit Condenser Treated Gas Acid Gas Cooler Absorber L/R Lean Exchanger Stripper Solvent Feed Gas Reboiler Rich Solvent Lean Solvent Pump Chemical Solvents Frequently used for AGR, chemical solvents are more suitable than physical or hybrid solvents for applications at lower operating pressures. The chemical nature of acid gas absorption makes solution loading and circulation less dependent on the acid gas partial pressure. Because the solution is aqueous, co-absorption of hydrocarbons is minimal. In a conventional amine unit, the chemical solvent reacts exothermically with the acid gas constituents. They form a weak chemical bond that can be broken, releasing the acid gas and regenerating the solvent for reuse.
In recent years MDEA, a tertiary amine, has acquired a much larger share of the gas-treating market. Compared with primary and secondary amines, MDEA has superior capabilities for selectively removing H2S in the presence of CO2, is resistant to degradation by organic sulfur compounds, has a low tendency for corrosion, has a relatively low circulation rate, and consumes less energy. Commercially available are several MDEA-based solvents that are formulated for high H2S selectivity.
Chemical reagents are used to remove the acid gases by a reversible chemical reaction of the acid gases with an aqueous solution of various alkanolamines or alkaline salts in water. Exhibit 3-4 lists commonly used chemical reagents along with principal licensors that use them in their processes. The process consists of an absorber and regenerator, which are connected by a circulation of the chemical reagent aqueous solution. The absorber contacts the lean solution with the main gas stream (at pressure) to remove the acid gases by absorption/ reaction with the chemical solution. The acid-gas-rich solution is reduced to LP and heated in the stripper to reverse the reactions and strip the acid gas. The acid-gas-lean solution leaves the bottom of the regenerator stripper and is cooled, pumped to the required pressure and recirculated back to the absorber. For some amines, a filter and a separate reclaiming section (not shown) are needed to remove undesirable reaction byproducts.

The liquid circulation rates can vary widely, depending on the amount of acid gas being captured. However, the most suitable processes are those that will dissolve 2 to 10 standard cubic feet (scf) acid gas per gallon of solution circulated. Steam consumption can vary widely also: 0.7 to 1.5 pounds per gallon (lb/gal) of liquid is typical, with 0.8 to 0.9 being a typical good value. CoP non-capture, which utilizes the chemical solvent MDEA, uses 0.88 pounds of steam per gallon of liquid. The steam conditions are 0.45 MPa (65 psia) and 151°C (304°F).
The major advantage of these systems is the ability to remove acid gas to low levels at low to moderate H2S partial pressures.
Physical Solvents Physical solvents involve absorption of acid gases into certain organic solvents that have a high solubility for acid gases. As the name implies, physical solvents involve only the physical solution of acid gas - the acid gas loading in the solvent is proportional to the acid gas partial pressure (Henrys Law). Physical solvent absorbers are usually operated at lower temperatures than is the case for chemical solvents. The solution step occurs at HP and at or below ambient temperature while the regeneration step (dissolution) occurs by pressure letdown and indirect stripping with LP 0.45 MPa (65 psia) steam. It is generally accepted that physical solvents become increasingly economical, and eventually superior to amine capture, as the partial pressure of acid gas in the syngas increases.
The physical solvents are regenerated by multistage flashing to LPs. Because the solubility of acid gases increases as the temperature decreases, absorption is generally carried out at lower temperatures, and refrigeration is often required.
Most physical solvents are capable of removing organic sulfur compounds. Exhibiting higher solubility of H2S than CO2, they can be designed for selective H2S or total AGR. In applications where CO2 capture is desired the CO2 is flashed off at various pressures, which reduces the compression work and parasitic power load associated with sequestration.
76
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Physical solvents co-absorb heavy hydrocarbons from the feed stream. Since heavy hydrocarbons cannot be recovered by flash regeneration, they are stripped along with the acid gas during heated regeneration. These hydrocarbon losses result in a loss of valuable product and may lead to CO2 contamination.
Several physical solvents that use anhydrous organic solvents have been commercialized. They include the Selexol process, which uses dimethyl ether of polyethylene glycol as a solvent; Rectisol, with methanol as the solvent; Purisol, which uses N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent; and the propylene-carbonate process.
Exhibit 3-5 is a simplified flow diagram for a physical reagent type AGR process [50]. Common physical solvent processes, along with their licensors, are listed in Exhibit 3-6.

Some examples of hybrid solvents are Sulfinol, Flexsorb PS, and Ucarsol LE.
Sulfinol is a mixture of sulfolane (a physical solvent), diisopropanolamine (DIPA) or MDEA (chemical solvent), and water. DIPA is used when total AGR is specified, while MDEA provides for selective removal of H2S.

Physically similar to Sulfinol, Flexsorb PS is very stable and resistant to chemical degradation. High treated-gas purity, with less than 50 ppmv of CO2 and 4 ppmv of H2S, can be achieved. Both Ucarsol LE-701, for selective removal, and LE-702, for total AGR, are formulated to remove mercaptans from feed gas.
Mixed chemical and physical solvents combine the features of both systems. The mixed solvent allows the solution to absorb an appreciable amount of gas at HP. The amine portion is effective as a reagent to remove the acid gas to low levels when high purity is desired.
Mixed solvent processes generally operate at absorber temperatures similar to those of the amine-type chemical solvents and do not require refrigeration. They also retain some advantages of the lower steam requirements typical of the physical solvents. Common mixed chemical and physical solvent processes, along with their licensors, are listed in Exhibit 3-7. The key advantage of mixed solvent processes is their apparent ability to remove H2S and, in some cases, COS to meet very stringent purified gas specifications.
Exhibit 3-8 shows reported equilibrium solubility data for H2S and CO2 in various representative solvents [50]. The solubility is expressed as scf of gas per gallon liquid per atmosphere gas partial pressure.
The figure illustrates the relative solubilities of CO2 and H2S in different solvents and the effects of temperature. More importantly, it shows an order of magnitude higher solubility of H2S over CO2 at a given temperature, which gives rise to the selective absorption of H2S in physical solvents. It also illustrates that the acid gas solubility in physical solvents increases with lower solvent temperatures.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The ability of a process to selectively absorb H2S may be further enhanced by the relative absorption rates of H2S and CO2. Thus, some processes, besides using equilibrium solubility differences, will use absorption rate differences between the two acid gases to achieve selectivity. This is particularly true of the amine processes where the CO2 and H2S absorption rates are very different.
AGR used in CO2 Capture Cases A two-stage Selexol process is used for all IGCC CO2 capture cases in this study. A brief process description follows.
Untreated syngas enters the first of two absorbers where H2S is preferentially removed using loaded solvent from the CO2 absorber. The gas exiting the H2S absorber passes through the second absorber where CO2 is removed using first flash regenerated, chilled solvent followed by thermally regenerated solvent added near the top of the column. The treated gas exits the absorber and is sent either directly to the CT or is partially humidified prior to entering the CT.
A portion of the gas can also be used for coal drying, when required.
The amount of hydrogen recovered from the syngas stream is dependent on the Selexol process design conditions. In this study, hydrogen recovery is 99.4 percent. The minimal hydrogen slip to the CO2 sequestration stream maximizes the overall plant efficiency. The Selexol plant cost estimates are based on a plant designed to recover this high percentage of hydrogen.
The CO2 loaded solvent exits the CO2 absorber, and a portion is sent to the H2S absorber, a portion is sent to a reabsorber and the remainder is sent to a series of flash drums for regeneration. The CO2 product stream is obtained from the three flash drums, and after flash regeneration the solvent is chilled and returned to the CO2 absorber.
The rich solvent exiting the H2S absorber is combined with the rich solvent from the reabsorber and the combined stream is heated using the lean solvent from the stripper. The hot, rich solvent enters the H2S concentrator and partially flashes. The remaining liquid contacts nitrogen from the ASU and a portion of the CO2 along with lesser amounts of H2S and COS are stripped from the rich solvent. The stripped gases from the H2S concentrator are sent to the reabsorber where the H2S and COS that were co-stripped in the concentrator are transferred to a stream of loaded solvent from the CO2 absorber. The clean gas from the reabsorber is combined with the clean gas from the H2S absorber and sent to the CT.
The solvent exiting the H2S concentrator is sent to the stripper where the absorbed gases are liberated by hot gases flowing up the column from the steam heated reboiler. Water in the overhead vapor from the stripper is condensed and returned as reflux to the stripper or exported as necessary to maintain the proper water content of the lean solvent. The acid gas from the stripper is sent to the Claus plant for further processing. The lean solvent exiting the stripper is first cooled by providing heat to the rich solvent, then further cooled by exchange with the product gas and finally chilled in the lean chiller before returning to the top of the CO2 absorber.
AGR/Gasifier Pairings There are numerous commercial AGR processes that could meet the sulfur environmental target of this study. The most frequently used AGR systems (Selexol, Sulfinol, MDEA, and Rectisol) have all been used with the Shell and GEE gasifiers in various applications. Both existing E-Gas gasifiers use MDEA, but could in theory use any of the existing AGR technologies [50]. The following selections were made for the AGR process in non-CO2 capture cases:
80
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- GEE gasifier: Selexol was chosen based on the GE gasifier operating at the highest pressure (815 psia versus 615 psia for CoP and Shell), which favors the physical solvent used in the Selexol process.
- CoP gasifier: Refrigerated MDEA was chosen because the two operating E-Gas gasifiers use MDEA and because CoP lists MDEA as the selected AGR process on their website
[51]. Refrigerated MDEA was chosen over conventional MDEA because the sulfur emissions environmental target chosen is just outside of the range of conventional (higher temperature) MDEA.
- Shell gasifier: The Sulfinol process was chosen for this case because it is a Shell owned technology. While the Shell gasifier can and has been used with other AGR processes, it was concluded the most likely pairing would be with the Sulfinol process.
The two-stage Selexol process is used in all three cases that require CO2 capture. According to the previously referenced SFA Pacific report, For future IGCC with CO2 removal for sequestration, a two-stage Selexol process presently appears to be the preferred AGR process -
as indicated by ongoing engineering studies at EPRI and various engineering firms with IGCC interests.[52]
3.1.6 Sulfur Recovery/Tail Gas Cleanup Process Selection Currently, most of the worlds sulfur is produced from the acid gases coming from gas treating.
The Claus process remains the mainstay for sulfur recovery. Conventional three-stage Claus plants, with indirect reheat and feeds with a high H2S content, can approach 98 percent sulfur recovery efficiency. However, since environmental regulations have become more stringent, sulfur recovery plants are required to recover sulfur with over 99.8 percent efficiency. To meet these stricter regulations, the Claus process underwent various modifications and add-ons.
The add-on modification to the Claus plant selected for this study can be considered a separate option from the Claus process. In this context, it is often called a tail gas treating unit (TGTU) process.
The Claus Process The Claus process converts H2S to elemental sulfur via the following reactions:
H2S + 3/2 O2 H2O + SO2 2H2S + SO2 2H2O + 3S The second reaction, the Claus reaction, is equilibrium limited. The overall reaction is:
3H2S + 3/2 O2 3H2O + 3S The sulfur in the vapor phase exists as S2, S6, and S8 molecular species, with the S2 predominant at higher temperatures, and S8 predominant at lower temperatures.
A simplified process flow diagram of a typical three-stage Claus plant is shown in Exhibit 3-9
[52]. One-third of the H2S is burned in the furnace with oxygen from the air to give sufficient SO2 to react with the remaining H2S. Since these reactions are highly exothermic, a waste heat boiler that recovers this heat to generate HP steam usually follows the furnace. Sulfur is condensed in a condenser that follows the HP steam recovery section. LP steam is raised in the condenser. The tail gas from the first condenser then goes to several catalytic conversion stages, 81
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants usually 2 to 3, where the remaining sulfur is recovered via the Claus reaction. Each catalytic stage consists of gas preheat, a catalytic reactor, and a sulfur condenser. The liquid sulfur goes to the sulfur pit, while the tail gas proceeds to the incinerator or for further processing in a TGTU.
Claus Plant Sulfur Recovery Efficiency The Claus reaction is equilibrium limited, and sulfur conversion is sensitive to the reaction temperature. The highest sulfur conversion in the thermal zone is limited to about 75 percent.
Typical furnace temperatures are in the range from 1093 to 1427°C (2000 to 2600°F), and as the temperature decreases, conversion increases dramatically.
Exhibit 3-9 Typical Three-Stage Claus Sulfur Plant Claus plant sulfur recovery efficiency depends on many factors:
- H2S concentration of the feed gas
- Number of catalytic stages
- Gas reheat method In order to keep Claus plant recovery efficiencies approaching 94 to 96 percent for feed gases that contain about 20 to 50 percent H2S, a split-flow design is often used. In this version of the Claus plant, part of the feed gas is bypassed around the furnace to the first catalytic stage, while the rest of the gas is oxidized in the furnace to mostly SO2. This results in a more stable temperature in the furnace.
Oxygen-Blown Claus Large diluent streams in the feed to the Claus plant, such as N2 from combustion air, or a high CO2 content in the feed gas, lead to higher cost Claus processes and any add-on or tail gas units.
82
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants One way to reduce diluent flows through the Claus plant and to obtain stable temperatures in the furnace for dilute H2S streams is the oxygen-blown Claus process.
The oxygen-blown Claus process was originally developed to increase capacity at existing conventional Claus plants and to increase flame temperatures of low H2S content gases. The process has also been used to provide the capacity and operating flexibility for sulfur plants where the feed gas is variable in flow and composition such as often found in refineries. The application of the process has now been extended to grass roots installations, even for rich H2S feed streams, to provide operating flexibility at lower costs than would be the case for conventional Claus units. At least four of the recently built gasification plants in Europe use oxygen enriched Claus units.
Oxygen enrichment results in higher temperatures in the front-end furnace, potentially reaching temperatures as high as 1593 to 1649°C (2900 to 3000°F) as the enrichment moves beyond 40 to 70 vol% O2 in the oxidant feed stream. Although oxygen enrichment has many benefits, its primary benefit for lean H2S feeds is a stable furnace temperature. Sulfur recovery is not significantly enhanced by oxygen enrichment. Because the IGCC process already requires an ASU, the oxygen-blown Claus plant was chosen for all cases.
Tail Gas Treating In many refinery and other conventional Claus applications, tail gas treating involves the removal of the remaining sulfur compounds from gases exiting the SRU. Tail gas from a typical Claus process, whether a conventional Claus or one of the extended versions of the process, usually contains small but varying quantities of COS, CS2, H2S, SO2, and elemental sulfur vapors. In addition, there may be H2, CO, and CO2 in the tail gas. In order to remove the rest of the sulfur compounds from the tail gas, all of the sulfur-bearing species must first be converted to H2S. Then, the resulting H2S is absorbed into a solvent and the clean gas vented or recycled for further processing. The clean gas resulting from the hydrolysis step can undergo further cleanup in a dedicated absorption unit or be integrated with an upstream AGR unit. The latter option is particularly suitable with physical absorption solvents. The approach of treating the tail gas in a dedicated amine absorption unit and recycling the resulting acid gas to the Claus plant is the one used by the Shell Claus Off-gas Treating (SCOT) process. With tail gas treatment, Claus plants can achieve overall removal efficiencies in excess of 99.9 percent.
In the case of IGCC applications, the tail gas from the Claus plant can be catalytically hydrogenated and then recycled back into the system with the choice of location being technology dependent, or it can be treated with a SCOT-type process. In the each of the six IGCC cases the Claus plant tail gas is hydrogenated, water is separated, the tail gas is compressed and then returned to the AGR process for further treatment.
Flare Stack A self-supporting, refractory-lined, carbon steel (CS) flare stack is typically provided to combust and dispose of unreacted gas during startup, shutdown, and upset conditions. However, in all six IGCC cases a flare stack was provided for syngas dumping during startup, shutdown, etc. This flare stack eliminates the need for a separate Claus plant flare.
83
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.1.7 Slag Handling The slag handling system conveys, stores, and disposes of slag removed from the gasification process. Spent material drains from the gasifier bed into a water bath in the bottom of the gasifier vessel. A slag crusher receives slag from the water bath and grinds the material into pea-sized fragments. A slag/water slurry that is between 5 and 10 percent solids leaves the gasifier pressure boundary through either a proprietary pressure letdown device (CoP) or through the use of lockhoppers (GEE and Shell) to a series of dewatering bins.
The general aspects of slag handling are the same for all three technologies. The slag is dewatered, the water is clarified and recycled and the dried slag is transferred to a storage area for disposal. The specifics of slag handling vary among the gasification technologies regarding how the water is separated and the end uses of the water recycle streams.
In this study the slag bins were sized for a nominal holdup capacity of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of full-load operation. At periodic intervals, a convoy of slag-hauling trucks will transit the unloading station underneath the hopper and remove a quantity of slag for disposal. Approximately ten truckloads per day are required to remove the total quantity of slag produced by the plant operating at nominal rated power. While the slag is suitable for use as a component of road paving mixtures, it was assumed in this study that the slag would be landfilled at a specified cost just as the ash from the PC boiler cases is assumed to be landfilled at the same per ton cost.
3.1.8 Power Island Combustion Turbine The GT generator selected for this application is representative of the advanced F Class turbines.
This machine is an axial flow, single spool, and constant speed unit, with variable inlet guide vane (IGV). The turbine includes advanced bucket cooling techniques, compressor aerodynamic design and advanced alloys, enabling a higher firing temperature than the previous generation machines. The standard production version of this machine is fired with natural gas and is also commercially offered for use with IGCC derived syngas, although only earlier versions of the turbine are currently operating on syngas. For the purposes of this study, it was assumed that the advanced F Class turbine will be commercially available for use on both conventional and high hydrogen content syngas representative of the cases with CO2 capture. High H2 fuel combustion issues like flame stability, flashback, and NOx formation were assumed to be solved in the time frame needed to support deployment. However, because these are FOAK applications, process contingencies were included in the cost estimates as described in Section 2.7. Performance typical of an advanced F class turbine on natural gas at ISO conditions is presented in Exhibit 3-10.

In this service, with syngas from an IGCC plant, the machine requires some modifications to the burner and turbine nozzles in order to properly combust the low-Btu gas and expand the combustion products in the turbine section of the machine.
The modifications to the machine include some redesign of the original can-annular combustors.
A second modification involves increasing the nozzle areas of the turbine to accommodate the mass and volume flow of low-Btu fuel gas combustion products, which are increased relative to those produced when firing natural gas. Other modifications include rearranging the various auxiliary skids that support the machine to accommodate the spatial requirements of the plant general arrangement. The generator is a standard hydrogen-cooled machine with static exciter.
Combustion Turbine Package Scope of Supply The CT is typically supplied in several fully shop-fabricated modules, complete with all mechanical, electrical, and control systems as required for CT operation. Site CT installation involves module inter-connection, and linking CT modules to the plant systems.
CT Firing Temperature Control Issue for Low Calorific Value Fuel A GT when fired on LCV syngas has the potential to increase power output due to the increase in flow rate through the turbine. The higher turbine flow and moisture content of the combustion products can contribute to overheating of turbine components, affect rating criteria for the parts lives, and require a reduction in syngas firing temperatures (compared to the natural gas firing) to maintain design metal temperature [ 53]. Uncontrolled syngas firing temperature could result in more than 50 percent life cycle reduction of stage 1 buckets. Control systems for syngas applications include provisions to compensate for these effects by maintaining virtually constant generation output for the range of the specified ambient conditions. IGVs and firing temperature are used to maintain the turbine output at the maximum torque rating, producing a flat rating up to the IGV full open position. Beyond the IGV full open position, flat output may be extended to higher ambient air temperatures by steam/nitrogen injection.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants In this study the firing temperature (defined as inlet rotor temperature) using natural gas in NGCC applications is 1371°C (2500°F) while the firing temperature in the non-capture IGCC cases is 1333-1343°C (2432-2449°F) and in the CO2 capture cases is 1317-1322°C (2402-2412°F). The further reduction in firing temperature in the CO2 capture cases is done to maintain parts life as the H2O content of the combustion products increases from 6-9 vol% in the non-capture cases to 12-14 vol% in the capture cases. The decrease in temperature also results in the lower temperature steam cycle in the CO2 capture cases, ranging from 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/993°F/993°F) to 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/994°F/994°F) for all of the CO2 capture cases versus 12.4 MPa/559°C/559°C (1800 psig/1038°F/1038°F) to 12.4 MPa/562°C/562°C (1800 psig/1043°F/1043°F) for all of the non-CO2 capture cases.
Combustion Turbine Syngas Fuel Requirements Typical fuel specifications and contaminant levels for successful CT operation are provided in reference [ 54] and presented for F Class machines in Exhibit 3-11 and Exhibit 3-12. The vast majority of published CT performance information is specific to natural gas operation. Turbine performance using syngas requires vendor input as was obtained for this study.

Notes:
- 1. The maximum fuel temperature is defined in reference [55]
- 2. To ensure that the fuel gas supply to the GT is 100 percent free of liquids the minimum fuel gas temperature must meet the required superheat over the respective dew point. This requirement is independent of the hydrocarbon and moisture concentration. Superheat calculation shall be performed as described in GEI-4140G [54].
- 3. Maximum flammability ratio limit is not defined. Fuel with flammability ratio significantly larger than those of natural gas may require start-up fuel
- 4. The quantity of sulfur in syngas is not limited by specification. Experience has shown that fuel sulfur levels up to one percent by volume do not significantly affect oxidation/corrosion rates.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Normal Operation Inlet air is compressed in a single spool compressor to a pressure ratio of approximately 16:1.
This pressure ratio was vendor specified and less than the 18.5:1 ratio used in natural gas applications. The majority of compressor discharge air remains on-board the machine and passes to the burner section to support combustion of the syngas. Compressed air is also used in burner, transition, and film cooling services. About 4-7 percent of the compressor air is extracted and integrated with the air supply of the ASU in non-carbon capture cases. It may be technically possible to integrate the CT and ASU in CO2 capture cases as well; however, in this study integration was considered only for non-carbon capture cases.

The fuel gas delivery system shall be designed to prevent generation or admittance of solid particulate to the GT gas fuel system Pressurized syngas is combusted in several (14) parallel diffusion combustors and syngas dilution is used to limit NOx formation. As described in Section 3.1.2 nitrogen from the ASU is used as the primary diluent followed by syngas humidification and finally by steam dilution, if necessary, to achieve an LHV of 4.4-4.7 MJ/Nm3 (119-125 Btu/scf). The advantages of using nitrogen as the primary diluent include:
87
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- Nitrogen from the ASU is already partially compressed and using it for dilution eliminates wasting the compression energy.
- Limiting the water content reduces the need to de-rate firing temperature, particularly in the high-hydrogen (CO2 capture) cases.
There are some disadvantages to using nitrogen as the primary diluent, and these include:
- There is a significant auxiliary power requirement to further compress the large nitrogen flow from the ASU pressures of 0.4 and 1.3 MPa (56 and 182 psia) to the CT pressure of 3.2 MPa (465 psia).
- Low quality heat not otherwise useful for other applications can be used to preheat water for the syngas humidification process.
- Nitrogen is not as efficient as water in limiting NOx emissions It is not clear that one dilution method provides a significant advantage over the other. However, in this study nitrogen was chosen as the primary diluent based on suggestions by turbine industry experts during peer review of the report.
Hot combustion products are expanded in the three-stage turbine-expander. Given the assumed ambient conditions, back-end loss, and HRSG pressure drop, the CT exhaust temperature is nominally 588°C (1090°F) for non-CO2 capture cases and 562°C (1044°F) for capture cases.
Gross turbine power, as measured prior to the generator terminals, is 232 MW. The CT generator is a standard hydrogen-cooled machine with static exciter.
3.1.9 Steam Generation Island Heat Recovery Steam Generator The HRSG is a horizontal gas flow, drum-type, multi-pressure design that is matched to the characteristics of the GT exhaust gas when firing medium-Btu gas. High-temperature FG exiting the CT is conveyed through the HRSG to recover the large quantity of thermal energy that remains. Flue gas (FG) travels through the HRSG gas path and exits at 132°C (270°F) for all six IGCC cases.
The HP drum produces steam at main steam pressure, while the IP drum produces process steam and turbine dilution steam, if required. The HRSG drum pressures are nominally 12.4/3.1 MPa (1800/443 psia) for the HP/IP turbine sections, respectively. In addition to generating and superheating steam, the HRSG performs reheat duty for the cold/hot reheat steam for the steam turbine, provides condensate and feedwater (FW) heating, and also provides deaeration of the condensate.
Natural circulation of steam is accomplished in the HRSG by utilizing differences in densities due to temperature differences of the steam. The natural circulation HRSG provides the most cost-effective and reliable design.
The HRSG drums include moisture separators, internal baffles, and piping for FW/steam. All tubes, including economizers, superheaters, and headers and drums, are equipped with drains.
Safety relief valves are furnished in order to comply with appropriate codes and ensure a safe work place.
88
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Superheater, boiler, and economizer sections are supported by shop-assembled structural steel.
Inlet and outlet duct is provided to route the gases from the GT outlet to the HRSG inlet and the HRSG outlet to the stack. A diverter valve is included in the inlet duct to bypass the gas when appropriate. Suitable expansion joints are also included.
Steam Turbine Generator and Auxiliaries The steam turbine consists of an HP section, an IP section, and one double-flow LP section, all connected to the generator by a common shaft. The HP and IP sections are contained in a single-span, opposed-flow casing, with the double-flow LP section in a separate casing. The LP turbine has a last stage bucket length of 76 cm (30 in).
Main steam from the HRSG and gasifier island is combined in a header, and then passes through the stop valves and control valves and enters the turbine at either 12.4 MPa/559°C to 562°C (1800 psig/1038°F to 1043°F) for the non-carbon capture cases, or 12.4 MPa/534°C (1800 psig/993°F to 994°F) for the carbon capture cases. The steam initially enters the turbine near the middle of the HP span, flows through the turbine, and returns to the HRSG for reheating. The reheat steam flows through the reheat stop valves and intercept valves and enters the IP section at 3.1 MPa/558°C to 561°C (443 psig/1036°F to 1041°F) for the non-carbon capture cases or 3.1 MPa/532°C to 533°C (443 psig/990°F to 992°F) for the carbon capture cases. After passing through the IP section, the steam enters a crossover pipe, which transports the steam to the LP section. The steam divides into two paths and flows through the LP sections, exhausting downward into the condenser.
Turbine bearings are lubricated by a closed-loop (CL), water-cooled, pressurized oil system. The oil is contained in a reservoir located below the turbine floor. During startup or unit trip an emergency oil pump mounted on the reservoir pumps the oil. When the turbine reaches 95 percent of synchronous speed, the main pump mounted on the turbine shaft pumps oil. The oil flows through water-cooled heat exchangers prior to entering the bearings. The oil then flows through the bearings and returns by gravity to the lube oil reservoir.
Turbine shafts are sealed against air in-leakage or steam blowout using a modern positive pressure variable clearance shaft sealing design arrangement connected to a LP steam seal system. During startup, seal steam is provided from the main steam line. As the unit increases load, HP turbine gland leakage provides the seal steam. Pressure-regulating valves control the gland header pressure and dump any excess steam to the condenser. A steam packing exhauster maintains a vacuum at the outer gland seals to prevent leakage of steam into the turbine room.
Any steam collected is condensed in the packing exhauster and returned to the condensate system.
The generator is a hydrogen-cooled synchronous type, generating power at 24 kV. A static, transformer type exciter is provided. The generator is cooled with a hydrogen gas recirculation system using fans mounted on the generator rotor shaft. The heat absorbed by the gas is removed as it passes over finned tube gas coolers mounted in the stator frame. Gas is prevented from escaping at the rotor shafts by a CL oil seal system. The oil seal system consists of storage tank, pumps, filters, and pressure controls, all skid-mounted.
The STG is controlled by a triple-redundant, microprocessor-based electro-hydraulic control system. The system provides digital control of the unit in accordance with programmed control 89
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants algorithms, color cathode ray tube (CRT) operator interfacing, and datalink interfaces to the balance-of-plant DCS, and incorporates on-line repair capability.
Condensate System The condensate system transfers condensate from the condenser hotwell to the deaerator, through the gland steam condenser, gasifier, and the low-temperature economizer section in the HRSG.
The system consists of one main condenser; two 50 percent capacity, motor-driven, vertical condensate pumps; one gland steam condenser; and a low-temperature tube bundle in the HRSG.
Condensate is delivered to a common discharge header through separate pump discharge lines, each with a check valve and a gate valve. A common minimum flow recirculation line discharging to the condenser is provided to maintain minimum flow requirements for the gland steam condenser and the condensate pumps.
Feedwater System The function of the FW system is to pump the various FW streams from the deaerator storage tank in the HRSG to the respective steam drums. Two 50 percent capacity boiler feed pumps are provided for each of three pressure levels, HP, IP, and LP. Each pump is provided with inlet and outlet isolation valves, and outlet check valve. Minimum flow recirculation to prevent overheating and cavitation of the pumps during startup and low loads is provided by an automatic recirculation valve and associated piping that discharges back to the deaerator storage tank. Pneumatic flow control valves control the recirculation flow.
The FW pumps are supplied with instrumentation to monitor and alarm on low oil pressure, or high bearing temperature. FW pump suction pressure and temperature are also monitored. In addition, the suction of each boiler feed pump is equipped with a startup strainer.
Main and Reheat Steam Systems The function of the main steam system is to convey main steam generated in the synthesis gas cooler (SGC) and HRSG from the HRSG superheater outlet to the HP turbine stop valves. The function of the reheat system is to convey steam from the HP turbine exhaust to the HRSG RH, and to the turbine reheat stop valves.
Main steam at approximately 12.4 MPa/559°C to 562°C (1800 psig/1038°F to 1043°F) (non-CO2 capture cases) or 12.4 MPa/534°C (1800 psig/993°F to 994°F) (CO2 capture cases) exits the HRSG superheater through a motor-operated stop/check valve and a motor-operated gate valve, and is routed to the HP turbine. Cold reheat steam at approximately 3.5 MPa/349°C to 372°C (501 psia/661°F to 702°F) exits the HP turbine, flows through a motor-operated isolation gate valve, to the HRSG reheater. Hot reheat steam at approximately 3.1 MPa/558 to 561°C (443 psig/1036°F to 1041°F) for the non-carbon capture cases and 3.1 MPa/532°C to 533°C (443 psig/990°F to 992°F) for the CO2 capture cases exits the HRSG RH through a motor-operated gate valve and is routed to the IP turbines.
Steam piping is sloped from the HRSG to the drip pots located near the steam turbine for removal of condensate from the steam lines. Condensate collected in the drip pots and in low-point drains is discharged to the condenser through the drain system.
Steam flow is measured by means of flow nozzles in the steam piping. The flow nozzles are located upstream of any branch connections on the main headers.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Safety valves are installed to comply with appropriate codes and to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
Circulating Water System The circulating water system (CWS) is a closed-cycle cooling water system that supplies cooling water to the condenser to condense the main turbine exhaust steam. The system also supplies cooling water to the AGR plant as required, and to the auxiliary cooling system. The auxiliary cooling system is a CL process that utilizes a higher quality water to remove heat from compressor intercoolers, oil coolers and other ancillary equipment and transfers that heat to the main circulating cooling water system in plate and frame heat exchangers. The heat transferred to the circulating water in the condenser and other applications is removed by a mechanical draft cooling tower.
The system consists of two 50 percent capacity vertical CWPs, a mechanical draft evaporative cooling tower, and CS cement-lined interconnecting piping. The pumps are single-stage vertical pumps. The piping system is equipped with butterfly isolation valves and all required expansion joints. The cooling tower is a multi-cell wood frame counterflow mechanical draft cooling tower.
The condenser is a single-pass, horizontal type with divided water boxes. There are two separate circulating water circuits in each box. One-half of the condenser can be removed from service for cleaning or for plugging tubes. This can be done during normal operation at reduced load.
The condenser is equipped with an air extraction system to evacuate the condenser steam space for removal of non-condensable gases during steam turbine operation and to rapidly reduce the condenser pressure from atmospheric pressure before unit startup and admission of steam to the condenser.
Raw Water, Fire Protection, and Cycle Makeup Water Systems The raw water system supplies cooling tower makeup, cycle makeup, service water and potable water requirements. The water source is 50 percent from a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Booster pumps within the plant boundary provide the necessary pressure.
The fire protection system provides water under pressure to the fire hydrants, hose stations, and fixed water suppression system within the buildings and structures. The system consists of pumps, underground and aboveground supply piping, distribution piping, hydrants, hose stations, spray systems, and deluge spray systems. One motor-operated booster pump is supplied on the intake structure of the cooling tower with a diesel engine backup pump installed on the water inlet line.
The cycle makeup water system provides high quality demineralized water for makeup to the HRSG cycle, for steam injection ahead of the WGS reactors in CO2 capture cases, and for injection steam to the auxiliary boiler for control of NOx emissions, if required.
The cycle makeup system consists of two 100 percent trains, each with a full-capacity activated carbon filter, primary cation exchanger, primary anion exchanger, mixed bed exchanger, recycle pump, and regeneration equipment. The equipment is skid-mounted and includes a control panel and associated piping, valves, and instrumentation.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.1.10 Accessory Electric Plant The accessory electric plant consists of switchgear and control equipment, generator equipment, station service equipment, conduit and cable trays, and wire and cable. It also includes the main power transformer, all required foundations, and standby equipment.
3.1.11 Instrumentation and Control An integrated plant-wide distributed control system (DCS) is provided. The DCS is a redundant microprocessor-based, functionally DCS. The control room houses an array of multiple video monitor (CRT) and keyboard units. The CRT/keyboard units are the primary interface between the generating process and operations personnel. The DCS incorporates plant monitoring and control functions for all the major plant equipment. The DCS is designed to be operational and accessible 99.5 percent of the time it is required (99.5 percent availability). The plant equipment and the DCS are designed for automatic response to load changes from minimum load to 100 percent. Startup and shutdown routines are manually implemented, with operator selection of modular automation routines available. The exception to this, and an important facet of the control system for gasification, is the critical controller system, which is a part of the license package from the gasifier supplier and is a dedicated and distinct hardware segment of the DCS.
This critical controller system is used to control the gasification process. The partial oxidation of the fuel feed and oxygen feed streams to form a syngas product is a stoichiometric, temperature-and pressure-dependent reaction. The critical controller utilizes a redundant microprocessor executing calculations and dynamic controls at 100- to 200-millisecond intervals. The enhanced execution speeds as well as evolved predictive controls allow the critical controller to mitigate process upsets and maintain the reactor operation within a stable set of operating parameters.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.2 GENERAL ELECTRIC ENERGY IGCC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 1 and 2, which are based on the GEE gasifier in the radiant only configuration. GEE offers three design configurations:[56]
- Quench: In this configuration, the hot syngas exiting the gasifier passes through a pool of water to quench the temperature to 289°C (550°F) before entering the syngas scrubber. It is the simplest and lowest capital cost design, but also the least efficient. This configuration is examined in Section 8.
- Radiant Only: In this configuration, the hot syngas exiting the gasifier passes through a radiant syngas cooler where it is cooled from about 1316°C (2400°F) to 677°C (1250°F),
then through a water quench where the syngas is further cooled to about 232°C (450°F) prior to entering the syngas scrubber. Relative to the quench configuration, the radiant only design offers increased output, higher efficiency, improved reliability/availability, and results in the lowest COE. This configuration was chosen by GEE and Bechtel for the design of their reference plant.
- Radiant-Convective: In this configuration, the hot syngas exiting the gasifier passes through a radiant syngas cooler where it is cooled from about 1316°C (2400°F) to 760°C (1400°F), then passes over a pool of water where particulate is removed but the syngas is not quenched, then through a convective syngas cooler where the syngas is further cooled to about 371°C (700°F) prior to entering additional heat exchangers or the scrubber. This configuration has the highest overall efficiency, but at the expense of highest capital cost and the lowest availability. This is the configuration used at Tampa Electrics Polk Power Station.
Note that the radiant only configuration includes a water quench and, based on functionality, would be more appropriately named radiant-quench. The term radiant only is used to distinguish it from the radiant-convective configuration. Since radiant only is the terminology used by GEE, it will be used throughout this report.

3.2.1 Gasifier Background Development and Current Status[ 57] - Initial development of the GEE gasification technology (formerly licensed by Texaco and then ChevronTexaco) was conducted in the 1940s at Texacos Montebello, California laboratories. From 1946 to 1954 the Montebello pilot plant produced syngas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide) by partial oxidation of a variety of feedstocks, including natural gas, oil, asphalt, coal tar, and coal. From 1956 to 1958, coal was gasified in a 91 tonne/day (100 TPD) Texaco coal gasifier at the Olin Mathieson Chemical Plant in Morgantown, West Virginia, for the production of ammonia.
The oil price increases and supply disruptions of the 1970s renewed interest in the Texaco partial-oxidation process for gasification of coal or other solid opportunity fuels. Three 14 tonne/day (15 TPD) pilot plants at the Montebello laboratories have been used to test numerous coals. Two larger pilot plants were also built. The first gasified 150 tonne/day (165 TPD) of coal and was built to test syngas generation by Rührchemie and Rührkohle at Oberhausen, Germany, and included a SGC. The second gasified 172 tonne/day (190 TPD) of coal using a quench-only gasifier cooler and was built to make hydrogen at an existing TVA ammonia plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabama. These two large-scale pilot plants successfully operated for several years during the 1980s and tested a number of process variables and numerous coals.
The first commercial Texaco coal gasification plant was built for Tennessee Eastman at Kingsport, Tennessee, and started up in 1983. To date, 24 gasifiers have been built in 12 plants for coal and petroleum coke. Several of the plants require a hydrogen-rich gas and therefore directly water quench the raw gas to add the water for shifting the CO to H2, and have no SGCs.
The Cool Water plant was the first commercial-scale Texaco coal gasification project for the electric utility industry. This facility gasified 907 tonne/day (1,000 TPD) (dry basis) of bituminous coal and generated 120 MW of electricity by IGCC operation. In addition, the plant was the first commercial-sized Texaco gasifier used with a SGC. The Cool Water plant operated from 1984 to 1989 and was a success in terms of operability, availability, and environmental performance.
The Tampa Electric IGCC Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Project built on the Cool Water experience to demonstrate the use of the Texaco coal gasification process in an IGCC plant. The plant utilizes approximately 2,268 tonne/day (2,500 TPD) of coal in a single Texaco gasifier to generate a net of approximately 250 megawatts electric (MWe). The syngas is cooled in a high-temperature radiant heat exchanger, generating HP steam, and further cooled in convective heat exchangers (the radiant-convective configuration). The particles in the cooled gas are removed in a water-based scrubber. The cleaned gas then enters a hydrolysis reactor where COS is converted to H2S. After additional cooling, the syngas is sent to a conventional AGR unit, where H2S is absorbed by reaction with an amine solvent. H2S is removed from the amine by steam stripping and sent to a sulfuric acid (H2SO4) plant. The cleaned gas is sent to a General Electric MS 7001FA CT.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The Delaware Clean Energy Project is a coke gasification and CT repowering of an existing 130 MW coke-fired boiler cogeneration power plant at the Motiva oil refinery in Delaware City, Delaware. The Texaco coal gasification process was modified to gasify 1,814 tonne/day (2,000 TPD) of this low-quality petroleum coke. The plant is designed to use all the fluid petroleum coke generated at Motivas Delaware City Plant and produce a nominal 238,136 kg/hr (525,000 lb/hr) of 8.6 MPa (1250 psig) steam, and 120,656 kg/hr (266,000 lb/hr) of 1.2 MPa (175 psig) steam for export to the refinery and the use/sale of 120 MW of electrical power.
Environmentally, these new facilities help satisfy tighter NOx and SO2 emission limitations at the Delaware City Plant.
Gasifier Capacity - The largest GEE gasifier is the unit at Tampa Electric, which consists of the radiant-convective configuration. The daily coal-handling capacity of this unit is 2,268 tonnes (2,500 tons) of bituminous coal. The dry gas production rate is 0.19 million Nm3/hr (6.7 million scfh) with an energy content of about 1,897 million kJ/hr (HHV) (1,800 million Btu/hr). This size matches the F Class CTs that are used at Tampa.
Distinguishing Characteristics - A key advantage of the GEE coal gasification technology is the extensive operating experience at full commercial scale. Furthermore, Tampa Electric is an IGCC power generation facility, operated by conventional electric utility staff, and is environmentally one of the cleanest coal-fired power plants in the world. The GEE gasifier also operates at the highest pressure of the three gasifiers in this study, 5.6 MPa (815 psia) compared to 4.2 MPa (615 psia) for CoP and Shell.
Entrained-flow gasifiers have fundamental environmental advantages over fluidized-bed and moving-bed gasifiers. They produce no hydrocarbon liquids, and the only solid waste is an inert slag. The relatively high H2/CO ratio and CO2 content of GEE gasification fuel gas helps achieve low NOx and CO emissions in even the higher-temperature advanced CTs.
The key disadvantages of the GEE coal gasification technology are the limited refractory life, the relatively high oxygen requirements and high waste heat recovery duty (SGC design). As with the other entrained-flow slagging gasifiers, the GEE process has this disadvantage due to its high operating temperature. The disadvantage is magnified in the single-stage, slurry feed design.
The quench design significantly reduces the capital cost of syngas cooling, while innovative heat integration maintains good overall thermal efficiency although lower than the SGC design.
Another disadvantage of the GEE process is the limited ability to economically handle low-rank coals relative to moving-bed and fluidized-bed gasifiers or to entrained-flow gasifiers with dry feed. For slurry fed entrained gasifiers using low-rank coals, developers of two-stage slurry fed gasifiers claim advantages over single-stage slurry fed.
Important Coal Characteristics - The slurry feeding system and the recycle of process condensate water as the principal slurrying liquid make low levels of ash and soluble salts desirable coal characteristics for use in the GEE coal gasification process. High ash levels increase the ratio of water-to-carbon in the feed slurry, thereby increasing the oxygen requirements. The slurry feeding also favors the use of high-rank coals, such as bituminous coal, since their low inherent moisture content increases the moisture-free solids content of the slurry and thereby reduces oxygen requirements.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.2.2 Process Description In this section the overall GEE gasification process is described. The system description follows the block flow diagram (BFD) in Exhibit 3-13 and stream numbers reference the same exhibit.
The tables in Exhibit 3-14 provide stream compositions, temperature, pressure, enthalpy, and flow rates for the numbered streams in the BFD.
Coal Grinding and Slurry Preparation Coal receiving and handling is common to all cases and was covered in Section 3.1.1. The receiving and handling subsystem ends at the coal silo. Coal is then fed onto a conveyor by vibratory feeders located below each silo. The conveyor feeds the coal to an inclined conveyor that delivers the coal to the rod mill feed hopper. The feed hopper provides a surge capacity of about two hours and contains two hopper outlets. Each hopper outlet discharges onto a weigh feeder, which in turn feeds a rod mill. Each rod mill is sized to process 55 percent of the coal feed requirements of the gasifier. The rod mill grinds the coal and wets it with treated slurry water transferred from the slurry water tank by the slurry water pumps. The coal slurry is discharged through a trommel screen into the rod mill discharge tank, and then the slurry is pumped to the slurry storage tanks. The dry solids concentration of the final slurry is 63 percent.
The Polk Power Station operates at a slurry concentration of 62-68 percent using bituminous coal and CoP presented a paper showing the slurry concentration of Illinois No. 6 coal as 63 percent
[58].
The coal grinding system is equipped with a dust suppression system consisting of water sprays aided by a wetting agent. The degree of dust suppression required depends on local environmental regulations. All of the tanks are equipped with vertical agitators to keep the coal slurry solids suspended.
The equipment in the coal grinding and slurry preparation system is fabricated of materials appropriate for the abrasive environment present in the system. The tanks and agitators are rubber lined. The pumps are either rubber-lined or hardened metal to minimize erosion. Piping is fabricated of high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
Gasification This plant utilizes two gasification trains to process a total of 5,083 tonnes/day (5,603 TPD) of Illinois No. 6 coal. Each of the 2 x 50 percent gasifiers operates at maximum capacity. The largest operating GEE gasifier is the 2,268 tonne/day (2,500 TPD) unit at Polk Power Station.
However, that unit operates at about 2.8 MPa (400 psia). The gasifier in this study, which operates at 5.6 MPa (815 psia), will be able to process more coal and maintain the same gas residence time.
The slurry feed pump takes suction from the slurry run tank, and the discharge is sent to the feed injector of the GEE gasifier (stream 6). Oxygen from the ASU is vented during preparation for startup and is sent to the feed injector during normal operation. The air separation plant supplies 4,171 tonnes/day (4,597 TPD) of 95 mol% oxygen to the gasifiers (stream 5) and the Claus plant (stream 3). Carbon conversion in the gasifier is assumed to be 98 percent including a fines recycle stream.
96
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The gasifier vessel is a refractory-lined, HP combustion chamber. The coal slurry feedstock and oxygen are fed through a fuel injector at the top of the gasifier vessel. The coal slurry and the oxygen react in the gasifier at 5.6 MPa (815 psia) and 1,316°C (2,400°F) to produce syngas.
The syngas consists primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with lesser amounts of water vapor and carbon dioxide, and small amounts of hydrogen sulfide, COS, methane, argon, and nitrogen. The heat in the gasifier liquefies coal ash. Hot syngas and molten solids from the reactor flow downward into a radiant heat exchanger where the syngas is cooled.
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal Syngas is cooled from 1,316°C (2,400°F) to 677°C (1,250°F) in the radiant SGC (stream 9) and the molten slag solidifies in the process. The solids collect in the water sump at the bottom of the gasifier and are removed periodically using a lock hopper system (stream 8). The waste heat from this cooling is used to generate HP steam. BFW in the tubes is saturated, and then steam and water are separated in a steam drum. Approximately 412,096 kg/hr (908,500 lb/hr) of saturated steam at 13.8 MPa (2,000 psia) is produced. This steam then forms part of the general heat recovery system that provides steam to the steam turbine.
The syngas exiting the radiant cooler is directed downwards by a dip tube into a water sump.
Most of the entrained solids are separated from the syngas at the bottom of the dip tube as the syngas goes upwards through the water. The syngas exits the quench chamber saturated at a temperature of 232°C (450°F).
The slag handling system removes solids from the gasification process equipment. These solids consist of a small amount of unconverted carbon and essentially all of the ash contained in the feed coal. These solids are in the form of glass, which fully encapsulates any metals. Solids collected in the water sump below the radiant SGC are removed by gravity and forced circulation of water from the lock hopper circulating pump. The fine solids not removed from the bottom of the quench water sump remain entrained in the water circulating through the quench chamber. In order to limit the amount of solids recycled to the quench chamber, a continuous blowdown stream is removed from the bottom of the syngas quench. The blowdown is sent to the vacuum flash drum in the black water flash section. The circulating quench water is pumped by circulating pumps to the quench gasifier.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper Syngas exiting the water quench passes to a syngas scrubber where a water wash is used to remove remaining chlorides, NH3, SO2, and PM. The syngas exits the scrubber still saturated at 206°C (403°F) before it is preheated to 223°C (433°F) (stream 10) prior to entering the COS hydrolysis reactor.
The sour water stripper removes NH3, SO2, and other impurities from the scrubber and other waste streams. The stripper consists of a sour drum that accumulates sour water from the gas scrubber and condensate from SGCs. Sour water from the drum flows to the sour stripper, which consists of a packed column with a steam-heated reboiler. Sour gas is stripped from the liquid and sent to the SRU. Remaining water is sent to wastewater treatment.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants COS Hydrolysis, Mercury Removal and Acid Gas Removal Syngas exiting the scrubber (stream 10) passes through a COS hydrolysis reactor where about 99.5 percent of the COS is converted to CO2 and H2S (Section 3.1.5). The gas exiting the COS reactor (stream 11) passes through a series of heat exchangers and knockout (KO) drums to lower the syngas temperature to 35°C (95°F) and to separate entrained water. The cooled syngas (stream 12) then passes through a carbon bed to remove 95 percent of the Hg (Section 3.1.4).
Cool, particulate-free syngas (stream 13) enters the Selexol absorber unit at approximately 5.2 MPa (755 psia) and 34°C (94°F). In this absorber, H2S is preferentially removed from the fuel gas stream along with smaller amounts of CO2, COS and other gases such as hydrogen. The rich solution leaving the bottom of the absorber is heated against the lean solvent returning from the regenerator before entering the H2S concentrator. A portion of the non-sulfur bearing absorbed gases is driven from the solvent in the H2S concentrator using N2 from the ASU as the stripping medium. The temperature of the H2S concentrator overhead stream is reduced prior to entering the reabsorber where a second stage of H2S absorption occurs. The rich solvent from the reabsorber is combined with the rich solvent from the absorber and sent to the stripper where it is regenerated through the indirect application of thermal energy via condensation of LP steam in a reboiler. The stripper acid gas stream (stream 14), consisting of 18 percent H2S and 61 percent CO2 (with the balance mostly N2), is then sent to the Claus unit.
Claus Unit Acid gas from the first-stage stripper of the Selexol unit is routed to the Claus plant. The Claus plant partially oxidizes the H2S in the acid gas to elemental sulfur. About 5,307 kg/hr (11,699 lb/hr) of elemental sulfur (stream 15) are recovered from the fuel gas stream. This value represents an overall sulfur recovery efficiency of 99.6 percent.
Acid gas from the Selexol unit is preheated to 232°C (450°F). A portion of the acid gas along with all of the sour gas from the stripper and oxygen from the ASU are fed to the Claus furnace.
In the furnace, H2S is catalytically oxidized to SO2 at a furnace temperature greater than 1,343°C (2,450°F), which must be maintained in order to thermally decompose all of the NH3 present in the sour gas stream.
Following the thermal stage and condensation of sulfur, two reheater and two sulfur converters are used to obtain a per-pass H2S conversion of approximately 99.9 percent. The Claus Plant tail gas is hydrogenated and recycled back to the Selexol process (stream 16). In the furnace waste heat boiler, 12,432 kg/hr (27,408 lb/hr) of 4.2 MPa (605 psia) steam are generated. This steam is used to satisfy all Claus process preheating and reheating requirements as well as to produce some steam for the medium-pressure steam header. The sulfur condensers produce 0.34 MPa (50 psig) and steam for the LP steam header and 2.9 MPa (415 psig) for IP steam.
Power Block Clean syngas exiting the Selexol absorber is re-heated (stream 18) using HP BFW and then expanded to 3.2 MPa (460 psia) using an expansion turbine (stream 19). The syngas stream is diluted with nitrogen from the ASU (stream 4) and enters the advanced F Class CT burner. The CT compressor provides combustion air to the burner and also 17 percent of the air requirements in the ASU (stream 21). The exhaust gas exits the CT at 589°C (1,093°F) (stream 22) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered until the FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F)
(stream 23) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to 101
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants power an advanced, commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/562°C/562°C (1800 psig/1043°F/1043°F) steam cycle.
Air Separation Unit The elevated pressure ASU was described in Section 3.1.2. In Case 1 the ASU is designed to produce a nominal output of 4,171 tonnes/day (4,597 TPD) of 95 mol% O2 for use in the gasifier (stream 5) and Claus plant (stream 3). The plant is designed with two production trains. The air compressor is powered by an electric motor. Approximately 13,051 tonnes/day (14,387 TPD) of nitrogen are also recovered, compressed, and used for dilution in the GT combustor (stream 4).
About 4 percent of the GT air is used to supply approximately 17 percent of the ASU air requirements (stream 21).

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.2.4 Sparing Philosophy The sparing philosophy for Cases 1 and 2 is provided below. Single trains are utilized throughout with exceptions where equipment capacity requires an additional train. There is no redundancy other than normal sparing of rotating equipment.
The plant design consists of the following major subsystems:
- Two ASUs (2 x 50%)
- Two trains of slurry preparation and slurry pumps (2 x 50%)
- Two trains of gasification, including gasifier, SGC, quench and scrubber (2 x 50%).
- Two trains of syngas clean-up process (2 x 50%).
- Two trains of Selexol AGR, single-stage in Case 1 and two-stage in Case 2, (2 x 50%)
and one Claus-based SRU (1 x 100%).
- Two CT/HRSG tandems (2 x 50%).
- One steam turbine (1 x 100%).
3.2.5 Case 1 Performance Results The plant produces a net output of 622 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 39.0 percent (HHV basis). GEE has reported a net plant efficiency of 38.5 percent for their reference plant, and they also presented a range of efficiencies of 38.5-40 percent depending on fuel type [ 59,60].
Typically the higher efficiencies result from fuel blends that include petroleum coke.
Overall performance for the plant is summarized in Exhibit 3-17, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The ASU accounts for approximately 78 percent of the auxiliary load between the main air compressor, the nitrogen compressor, the oxygen compressor and ASU auxiliaries. The cooling water system, including the CWPs and the cooling tower fan, account for approximately 5 percent of the auxiliary load, and the BFW pumps account for an additional 3 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Environmental Performance The environmental targets for emissions of Hg, NOx, SO2, and PM were presented in Section 2.4. A summary of the plant air emissions for Case 1 is presented in Exhibit 3-18.

(3,756,568)
CO21 782 (1,723) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the Selexol AGR process. The AGR process removes over 99 percent of the sulfur compounds in the fuel gas down to a level of less than 30 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the FG of less than 4 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is hydrogenated to convert all sulfur species to H2S and then recycled back to the Selexol process, thereby eliminating the need for a tail gas treatment unit.
NOx emissions are limited by nitrogen dilution of the syngas to 15 ppmvd (as NO2 @15 percent O2). Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process and ultimately destroyed in the Claus plant burner. This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of the syngas quench in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety five percent of the mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
CO2 emissions represent the uncontrolled discharge from the process.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-19. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag and as CO2 in the stack gas and ASU vent gas.

Exhibit 3-21 shows the overall water balance for the plant. Water demand represents the total amount of water required for a particular process. Some water is recovered within the process, primarily as syngas condensate, and is re-used as internal recycle. The difference between demand and recycle is raw water withdrawal. Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant and was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal can be represented by the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as cooling tower makeup, BFW makeup, quench system makeup, and slag handling makeup. The difference between water withdrawal and process water discharge is defined as water consumption and can be represented by the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source from which it was withdrawn. Water consumption represents the net impact of the plant process on the water source balance.

Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams Heat and mass balance diagrams are shown for the following subsystems in Exhibit 3-22 through Exhibit 3-24:
- Coal gasification and ASU
- Syngas cleanup, sulfur recovery and tail gas recycle
- Combined cycle power generation, steam, and FW An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 3-25. The power out is the combined CT, steam turbine and expander power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 3-17) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a combined generator efficiency of 98.2 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.2.8 Case 2 - GEE IGCC with CO2 Capture Case 2 is configured to produce electric power with CO2 capture. The plant configuration is the same as Case 1, namely two gasifier trains, two advanced F Class turbines, two HRSGs, and one steam turbine. The gross power output from the plant is constrained by the capacity of the two CTs, and since the CO2 capture process increases the auxiliary load on the plant, the net output is significantly reduced relative to Case 1.
The process description for Case 2 is similar to Case 1 with several notable exceptions to accommodate CO2 capture. A BFD and stream tables for Case 2 are shown in Exhibit 3-29 and Exhibit 3-30, respectively. Instead of repeating the entire process description, only differences from Case 1 are reported here.
Gasification The gasification process is the same as Case 1 with the exception that total coal feed to the two gasifiers is 5,302 tonnes/day (5,844 TPD) (stream 6) and the ASU provides 4,342 tonnes/day (4,786 TPD) of 95 percent oxygen to the gasifier and Claus plant (streams 3 and 5).
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal Raw gas cooling and particulate removal are the same as Case 1 with the exception that approximately 443,118 kg/hr (976,891 lb/hr) of saturated steam at 13.8 MPa (2,000 psia) is generated in the radiant SGCs.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper No differences from Case 1.
SGS The SGS process was described in Section 3.1.3. In Case 2 steam (stream 11) is added to the syngas exiting the scrubber to adjust the H2O:CO molar ratio to 2:1 prior to the first SGS reactor.
The hot syngas exiting the first stage of SGS is used to generate the steam that is added in stream
- 11. A second stage of SGS results in 97 percent overall conversion of the CO to CO2. The warm syngas from the second stage of SGS (stream 12) is cooled to 236°C (456°F) by preheating the unshifted syngas prior to the SGS. The SGS catalyst also serves to hydrolyze COS thus eliminating the need for a separate COS hydrolysis reactor. Following the second SGS cooler the syngas is further cooled to 35°C (95°F) prior to the mercury removal beds.
Mercury Removal and AGR Mercury removal is the same as in Case 1.
The AGR process in Case 2 is a two stage Selexol process where H2S is removed in the first stage and CO2 in the second stage of absorption as previously described in Section 3.1.5. The process results in three product streams, the clean syngas, a CO2-rich stream and an acid gas feed to the Claus plant. The acid gas (stream 18) contains 35 percent H2S and 52 percent CO2 with the balance primarily N2. The CO2-rich stream is discussed further in the CO2 compression section.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants CO2 Compression and Dehydration CO2 from the AGR process is flashed at three pressure levels to separate CO2 and decrease H2 losses to the CO2 product pipeline. The HP CO2 stream is flashed at 2.0 MPa (289.7 psia),
compressed, and recycled back to the CO2 absorber. The MP CO2 stream is flashed at 1.0 MPa (149.7 psia). The LP CO2 stream is flashed at 0.1 MPa (16.7 psia), compressed to 1.0 MPa (149.5 psia), and combined with the MP CO2 stream. The combined stream is compressed from 2.1 MPa (149.5 psia) to a SC condition at 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia) using a multiple-stage, intercooled compressor. During compression, the CO2 stream is dehydrated to a dewpoint of
-40ºC (-40°F) with triethylene glycol. The raw CO2 stream from the Selexol process contains over 99 percent CO2. The CO2 (stream 17) is transported to the plant fence line and is sequestration ready. CO2 TS&M costs were estimated using the methodology described in Section 2.7.
Claus Unit The Claus plant is the same as Case 1 with the following exceptions:
- 5,528 kg/hr (12,178 lb/hr) of sulfur (stream 19) are produced
- The waste heat boiler generates 13,555 kg/hr (29,884 lb/hr) of 4.0 MPa (575 psia) steam of which 12,679 kg/hr (27,953 lb/hr) is available to the medium pressure steam header.
Power Block Clean syngas from the AGR plant is heated to 241°C (465°F) using HP BFW before passing through an expansion turbine. The clean syngas (stream 16) is diluted with nitrogen (stream 4) and then enters the CT burner. There is no integration between the CT and the ASU in this case.
The exhaust gas (stream 22) exits the CT at 562°C (1044°F) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered. The FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F) (stream 23) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to power an advanced commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/994°F/994°F) steam cycle.
Air Separation Unit (ASU)
The same elevated pressure ASU is used in Case 2 and produces 4,342 tonnes/day (4,786 TPD) of 95 mole% oxygen and 14,591 tonnes/day (16,084 TPD) of nitrogen. There is no integration between the ASU and the CT.
3.2.9 Case 2 Performance Results The Case 2 modeling assumptions were presented previously in Section 3.2.3.
The plant produces a net output of 543 MW at a net plant efficiency of 32.6 percent (HHV basis). Overall performance for the entire plant is summarized in Exhibit 3-31, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The ASU accounts for nearly 60 percent of the auxiliary load between the main air compressor, the nitrogen compressor, the oxygen compressor, and ASU auxiliaries. The two-stage Selexol process and CO2 compression account for an additional 26 percent of the auxiliary power load. The BFW pumps and cooling water system (CWPs and cooling tower fan) comprise over 6 percent of the load, leaving 8 percent of the auxiliary load for all other systems.

CO21 93 (206) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the two-stage Selexol AGR process. As a result of achieving the 90 percent CO2 removal target, the sulfur compounds are removed to an extent that exceeds the environmental target in Section 2.4. The clean syngas exiting the AGR process has a sulfur concentration of approximately 5 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the FG of less than 1 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is hydrogenated to convert all sulfur species to H2S and then recycled back to the Selexol process, thereby eliminating the need for a tail gas treatment unit.
NOx emissions are limited by nitrogen dilution to 15 ppmvd (as NO2 @15 percent O2).
Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process. This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of the syngas quench in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety-five percent of mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
Ninety-two percent of the CO2 from the syngas is captured in the AGR system and compressed for sequestration.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-33. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag, as CO2 in the stack gas, ASU vent gas, and the captured CO2 product. The carbon capture efficiency is defined as the amount of carbon in the CO2 product stream relative to the amount of carbon in the coal less carbon contained in the slag, represented by the following fraction:

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.3 CONOCOPHILLIPS E-GASTM IGCC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 3 and 4, which are based on the CoP E-Gas' gasifier. Cases 3 and 4 are very similar in terms of process, equipment, scope and arrangement, except that Case 4 includes SGS reactors, CO2 absorption/regeneration and compression/transport systems. There are no provisions for CO2 removal in Case 3.

- Process and System Description, Performance Results, Equipment List, and Cost Estimate for Case 4 3.3.1 Gasifier Background Dow Chemical (the former principal stockholder of Destec Energy, which was bought by Global Energy, Inc., the gasifier business that was later purchased by CoP is a major producer of chemicals. They began coal gasification development work in 1976 with bench-scale (2 kg/hr
[4 lb/hr]) reactor testing. Important fundamental data were obtained for conversion and yields with various coals and operating conditions. This work led to the construction of a pilot plant at Dows large chemical complex in Plaquemine, Louisiana. The pilot plant was designed for a capacity of 11 tonnes/day (12 TPD) (dry lignite basis) and was principally operated with air as the oxidant. The plant also operated with oxygen at an increased capacity of 33 tonnes/day (36 TPD) (dry lignite basis). This pilot plant operated from 1978 through 1983.
Following successful operation of the pilot plant, Dow built a larger 499 tonnes/day (550 TPD)
(dry lignite basis) gasifier at Plaquemine. In 1984, Dow Chemical and the U.S. Synthetic Fuels Corporation (SFC) announced a price guarantee contract, which allowed the building of the first commercial-scale Dow coal gasification unit. The Louisiana Gasification Technology, Inc.
(LGTI) plant, sometimes called the Dow Syngas Project, was also located in the Dow Plaquemine chemical complex. The plant gasified about 1,451 tonnes/day (1,600 TPD) (dry basis) of subbituminous coal to generate 184 MW (gross) of combined-cycle electricity. To ensure continuous power output to the petrochemical complex, a minimum of 20 percent of natural gas was co-fired with the syngas. LGTI was operated from 1987 through 1995.
In September 1991, DOE selected the Wabash River coal gasification repowering project, which used the Destec Energy process, for funding under the Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program. The project was a joint venture of Destec and Public Service of Indiana (PSI Energy, Inc.). Its purpose was to repower a unit at PSIs Wabash River station in West Terre Haute, Indiana to produce 265 MW of net power from local high-sulfur bituminous coal. The design of 162
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants the project gasifier was based on the Destec LGTI gasifier. Experience gained in that project provided significant input to the design of the Wabash River coal gasification facility and eliminated much of the risk associated with scale-up and process variables.
Gasifier Capacity - The gasifier originally developed by Dow is now known as the CoP E-Gas' gasifier. The daily coal-handling capacity of the E-Gas gasifier operating at Plaquemine was in the range of 1,270 tonnes (1,400 tons) (moisture/ash-free [MAF] basis) for bituminous coal to 1,497 tonnes (1,650 tons) for lignite. The dry gas production rate was 141,600 Nm3/hr (5 million scf/hr) with an energy content of about 1,370 MMkJ/hr (1,300 MMBtu/hr) (HHV).
The daily coal-handling capacity of the gasifier at Wabash River is about 1,678 tonnes (1,850 tons) (MAF basis) for high-sulfur bituminous coal. The dry gas production rate is about 189,724 Nm3/hr (6.7 million scf/hr) with an energy content of about 1,950 MMkJ/hr (1,850 MMBtu/hr) (HHV). This size matches the CT, which is a GE 7FA.
With increased power and fuel GT demand, the gasifier coal feed increases proportionately. CoP has indicated that the gasifier can readily handle the increased demand.
Distinguishing Characteristics - A key advantage of the CoP coal gasification technology is the current operating experience with subbituminous coal at full commercial scale at the Plaquemine plant and bituminous coal at the Wabash plant. The two-stage operation improves the efficiency, reduces oxygen requirements, and enables more effective operation on slurry feeds relative to a single stage gasifier. The fire-tube SGC used by E-Gas has a lower capital cost than a water-tube design, an added advantage for the CoP technology at this time. However, this experience may spur other developers to try fire-tube designs.
Entrained-flow gasifiers have fundamental environmental advantages over fluidized-bed and moving-bed gasifiers. They produce no hydrocarbon liquids, and the only solid waste is an inert slag.
The key disadvantages of the CoP coal gasification technology are the relatively short refractory life and the high waste heat recovery (SGC) duty. As with the other entrained-flow slagging gasifiers, these disadvantages result from high operating temperature. However, the two-stage operation results in a quenched syngas that is higher in CH4 content than other gasifiers. This becomes a disadvantage in CO2 capture cases since the CH4 passes through the SGS reactors without change, and is also not separated by the AGR thus limiting the amount of carbon that can be captured.
Important Coal Characteristics - The slurry feeding system and the recycle of process condensate water as the principal slurrying liquid make low levels of ash and soluble salts desirable coal characteristics for use in the E-Gas' coal gasification process. High ash levels increase the ratio of water to carbon in the coal in the feed slurry, thereby increasing the oxygen requirements. Soluble salts affect the processing cost and amount of water blowdown required to avoid problems associated with excessive buildup of salts in the slurry water recycle loop.
Bituminous coals with lower inherent moisture improve the slurry concentration and reduce oxygen requirements. The two-stage operation reduces the negative impact of low-rank coal use in slurry feed, entrained-flow gasification. Low to moderate ash fusion-temperature coals are preferred for slagging gasifiers. Coals with high ash fusion temperatures may require flux addition for optimal gasification operation.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.3.2 Process Description In this section the overall CoP gasification process is described. The system description follows the BFD in Exhibit 3-43 and stream numbers reference the same exhibit. The tables in Exhibit 3-44 provide process data for the numbered streams in the BFD.
Coal Grinding and Slurry Preparation Coal receiving and handling is common to all cases and was covered in Section 3.1.1. The receiving and handling subsystem ends at the coal silo. Coal grinding and slurry preparation is similar to the GEE cases but repeated here for completeness.
Coal from the coal silo is fed onto a conveyor by vibratory feeders located below each silo. The conveyor feeds the coal to an inclined conveyor that delivers the coal to the rod mill feed hopper.
The feed hopper provides a surge capacity of about two hours and contains two hopper outlets.
Each hopper outlet discharges onto a weigh feeder, which in turn feeds a rod mill. Each rod mill is sized to process 55 percent of the coal feed requirements of the gasifier. The rod mill grinds the coal and wets it with treated slurry water transferred from the slurry water tank by the slurry water pumps. The coal slurry is discharged through a trommel screen into the rod mill discharge tank, and then the slurry is pumped to the slurry storage tanks. The dry solids concentration of the final slurry is 63 percent. The Polk Power Station operates at a slurry concentration of 62-68 percent using bituminous coal and CoP presented a paper showing the slurry concentration of Illinois No. 6 coal as 63 percent [58].
The coal grinding system is equipped with a dust suppression system consisting of water sprays aided by a wetting agent. The degree of dust suppression required depends on local environmental regulations. All of the tanks are equipped with vertical agitators to keep the coal slurry solids suspended.
The equipment in the coal grinding and slurry preparation system is fabricated of materials appropriate for the abrasive environment present in the system. The tanks and agitators are rubber lined. The pumps are either rubber-lined or hardened metal to minimize erosion. Piping is fabricated of HDPE.
Gasification This plant utilizes two gasification trains to process a total of 5,007 tonnes/day (5,519 TPD) of Illinois No. 6 coal. Each of the 2 x 50 percent gasifiers operate at maximum capacity. The E-Gas' two-stage coal gasification technology features an oxygen-blown, entrained-flow, refractory-lined gasifier with continuous slag removal. About 78 percent of the total slurry feed is fed to the first (or bottom) stage of the gasifier. The air separation plant supplies 3,711 tonnes/day (4,090 TPD) of 95 percent oxygen to the gasifiers (stream 5) and the Claus plant (stream 3). All oxygen for gasification is fed to this stage of the gasifier at a pressure of 4.2 MPa (615 psia). This stage is best described as a horizontal cylinder with two horizontally opposed burners. The highly exothermic gasification/oxidation reactions take place rapidly at temperatures of 1,316 to 1,427°C (2,400 to 2,600°F). The hot raw gas from the first stage enters the second (top) stage, which is a vertical cylinder perpendicular to the first stage. The remaining 22 percent of coal slurry is injected into this hot raw gas. The endothermic gasification/devolatilization reaction in this stage reduces the final gas temperature to about 1,038°C (1,900°F). Total slurry to both stages is shown as stream 7 in Exhibit 3-43.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The syngas produced by the CoP gasifier is higher in methane content than either the GEE or Shell gasifier. The two stage design allows for improved cold gas efficiency (CGE) and lower oxygen consumption, but the quenched second stage allows some CH4 to remain. The syngas CH4 concentration exiting the gasifier in Case 3 is 4.3 vol% (compared to 0.10 vol% in Case 1
[GEE] and 0.001 vol% in Case 5 [Shell]). The relatively high CH4 concentration impacts CO2 capture efficiency as discussed further in Section 3.3.8.
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal The raw syngas, less than 1,038°C (1,900°F), from the second stage of the gasifier is cooled to 316°C (600°F) in the waste heat recovery (SGC) unit, which consists of a fire-tube boiler and convective superheating and economizing sections. 554,830 kg/hr (1,223,171 lb/hr) of HP saturated steam is raised as a result of the raw gas cooling. Fire-tube boilers cost markedly less than comparable duty water-tube boilers. This is because of the large savings in high-grade steel associated with containing the hot HP syngas in relatively small tubes.
The coal ash is converted to molten slag, which flows down through a tap hole. The molten slag is quenched in water and removed through a proprietary continuous-pressure letdown/dewatering system (stream 9). Char is produced in the second gasifier stage and is captured and recycled to the hotter first stage to be gasified.
The cooled gas from the SGC is cleaned of remaining particulate via a cyclone collector followed by a ceramic candle filter. Recycled syngas is used as the pulse gas to clean the candle filters. The recovered fines are pneumatically returned to the first stage of the gasifier. The combination of recycled char and recycled particulate results in high overall carbon conversion (99.2 percent used in this study).
Following particulate removal, additional heat is removed from the syngas to raise saturated IP steam at 0.4 MPa (65 psia). In this manner the syngas is cooled to 232°C (450°F) prior to the syngas scrubber.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper Syngas exiting the second of the two low temperature heat exchangers passes to a syngas scrubber where a water wash is used to remove chlorides, SO2, NH3, and particulate. The syngas exits the scrubber saturated at 169°C (337°F).
The sour water stripper removes NH3, SO2, and other impurities from the scrubber and other waste streams. The stripper consists of a sour drum that accumulates sour water from the gas scrubber and condensate from SGCs. Sour water from the drum flows to the sour stripper, which consists of a packed column with a steam-heated reboiler. Sour gas is stripped from the liquid and sent to the SRU. Remaining water is sent to wastewater treatment.
COS Hydrolysis, Mercury Removal and Acid Gas Removal Syngas exiting the scrubber is reheated to 186°C (367°F) by using HP steam from the HRSG evaporator prior to entering a COS hydrolysis reactor (stream 10). About 99.5 percent of the COS is converted to CO2 and H2O (Section 3.1.5). The gas exiting the COS reactor (stream 11) passes through a series of heat exchangers and KO drums to lower the syngas temperature to 35°C (95°F) and to separate entrained water. The cooled syngas (stream 12) then passes through a carbon bed to remove 95 percent of the Hg (Section 3.1.4).
168
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Cool, particulate-free syngas (stream 13) enters the absorber unit at approximately 3.8 MPa (550 psia) and 34°C (94°F). In the absorber, H2S is preferentially removed from the fuel gas stream by contact with MDEA. The absorber column is operated at 44°C (112°F) by refrigerating the lean MDEA solvent. The lower temperature is required to achieve an outlet H2S concentration of less than 30 ppmv in the sweet syngas. The stripper acid gas stream (stream 17), consisting of 24 percent H2S and 75 percent CO2, is sent to the Claus unit. The acid gas is combined with the sour water stripper off gas and introduced into the Claus plant burner section.
Claus Unit Acid gas from the MDEA unit is preheated to 232°C (450°F). A portion of the acid gas along with all of the sour gas from the stripper and oxygen from the ASU are fed to the Claus furnace.
In the furnace, H2S is catalytically oxidized to SO2 at a furnace temperature of 1,316°C (2,400°F), which must be maintained in order to thermally decompose all of the NH3 present in the sour gas stream.
Following the thermal stage and condensation of sulfur, two reheaters and two sulfur converters are used to obtain a per-pass H2S conversion of approximately 99.5 percent. The Claus Plant tail gas is hydrogenated and recycled back to the gasifier (stream 20). In the furnace waste heat boiler, 13,866 kg/hr (30,568 lb/hr) of 3.0 MPa (430 psia) steam is generated. This steam is used to satisfy all Claus process preheating and reheating requirements as well as to provide some steam to the medium-pressure steam header. The sulfur condensers produce 0.34 MPa (50 psig) steam for the LP steam header and IP steam at 2.9 MPa (415 psig).
A flow rate of 5,215 kg/hr (11,497 lb/hr) of elemental sulfur (stream 18) is recovered from the fuel gas stream. This value represents an overall sulfur recovery efficiency of 99.7 percent.
Power Block Clean syngas exiting the MDEA absorber (stream 14) is partially humidified (stream 15) because there is not sufficient nitrogen from the ASU to provide the level of dilution required to reach the target syngas heating value. The moisturized syngas stream is reheated (stream 16), further diluted with nitrogen from the ASU (stream 4) and enters the advanced F Class CT burner. The CT compressor provides combustion air to the burner and also 19 percent of the total ASU air requirement (stream 22). The exhaust gas exits the CT at 588°C (1,091°F) (stream 23) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered until the FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F) (stream 24) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to power an advanced, commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/561°C/561°C (1800 psig/1041°F/1041°F) steam cycle.
Air Separation Unit The elevated pressure ASU was described in Section 3.1.2. In Case 3, the ASU is designed to produce a nominal output of 3,711 tonnes/day (4,091 TPD) of 95 mol% O2 for use in the gasifier (stream 5) and Claus plant (stream 3). The plant is designed with two production trains. The air compressor is powered by an electric motor. Approximately 11,736 tonnes/day (12,937 TPD) of nitrogen are also recovered, compressed, and used as dilution in the GT combustor (stream 4).
About 4 percent of the GT air is used to supply approximately 19 percent of the ASU air requirements (stream 22).

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Environmental Performance The environmental targets for emissions of Hg, NOx, SO2, and PM were presented in Section 2.4. A summary of the plant air emissions for Case 3 is presented in Exhibit 3-47.

CO21 776 (1,710) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 in the plant emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the refrigerated Coastal SS Specialty Amine (SS Amine) AGR process. The AGR process removes 99.7 percent of the sulfur compounds in the fuel gas down to a level of less than 30 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the FG of less than 4 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is hydrogenated to convert all sulfur species to H2S and then recycled back to the gasifier, thereby eliminating the need for a tail gas treatment unit.
NOx emissions are limited by the use of nitrogen dilution (primarily) and humidification (to a lesser extent) to 15 ppmvd (as NO2 @ 15 percent O2). Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process and destroyed in the Claus plant burner. This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of a cyclone and a barrier filter in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety five percent of the mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
CO2 emissions represent the uncontrolled discharge from the process.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-48. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag and CO2 in the stack gas and ASU vent gas.

Exhibit 3-50 shows the overall water balance for the plant. The water balance was explained in Case 1 [GEE], but is also presented here for completeness.
Water demand represents the total amount of water required for a particular process. Some water is recovered within the process, primarily as syngas condensate, and is re-used as internal recycle. The difference between demand and recycle is raw water withdrawal. Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant and was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal can be represented by the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as cooling tower makeup, BFW makeup, quench system makeup, and slag handling makeup. The difference between water withdrawal and process water discharge is defined as water consumption and can be represented by the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source from which it was withdrawn. Water consumption represents the net impact of the plant process on the water source balance.

Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams Heat and mass balance diagrams are shown for the following subsystems in Exhibit 3-51 through Exhibit 3-53:
- Coal gasification and ASU
- Syngas cleanup, sulfur recovery, and tail gas recycle
- Combined cycle power generation, steam, and FW An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 3-54. The power out is the combined CT and steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 3-46) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a combined generator efficiency of 98.3 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.3.8 Case 4 - E-Gas' IGCC Power Plant with CO2 Capture This case is configured to produce electric power with CO2 capture. The plant configuration is the same as Case 3, namely two gasifier trains, two advanced F class turbines, two HRSGs, and one steam turbine. The gross power output from the plant is constrained by the capacity of the two CTs, and since the CO2 capture and compression process increases the auxiliary load on the plant, the net output is significantly reduced relative to Case 3.
The process description for Case 4 is similar to Case 3 with several notable exceptions to accommodate CO2 capture. A BFD and stream tables for Case 4 are shown in Exhibit 3-58 and Exhibit 3-59, respectively. Instead of repeating the entire process description, only differences from Case 3 are reported here.
Coal Preparation and Feed Systems No differences from Case 3.
Gasification The gasification process is the same as Case 3 with the exception that total coal feed to the two gasifiers is 5,271 tonnes/day (5,811 TPD) (stream 8) and the ASU provides 4,234 tonnes/day (4,668 TPD) of 95 mol% oxygen to the gasifier and Claus plant (streams 5 and 3).
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal Raw gas cooling and particulate removal are the same as Case 3 with the exception that approximately 418,710 kg/hr (923,082 lb/hr) of saturated steam at 13.8 MPa (2,000 psia) is generated in the SGC.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper No differences from Case 3.
Sour Gas Shift (SGS)
The SGS process was described in Section 3.1.3. In Case 4 steam (stream 11) is added to the syngas exiting the scrubber to adjust the H2O:CO molar ratio to approximately 2.25:1 prior to the first WGS reactor. The hot syngas exiting the first stage of SGS is used to preheat a portion of the water used to humidify the clean syngas leaving the AGR. The final stage of SGS brings the overall conversion of the CO to CO2 to 98.5 percent. The syngas exiting the final stage of SGS still contains 1.2 vol% CH4, which is subsequently oxidized to CO2 in the CT and results in a carbon capture of 90.4 percent. The warm syngas exiting the second stage of the SGS at 204°C (400°F) (stream 12) is cooled to 201°C (393°F) by preheating the syngas entering the first SGS reactor. The SGS catalyst also serves to hydrolyze COS thus eliminating the need for a separate COS hydrolysis reactor. The syngas is further dehydrated and cooled to 35°C (95°F) in syngas coolers prior to the mercury removal beds.
Mercury Removal and Acid Gas Removal Mercury removal is the same as in Case 3.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The AGR process in Case 4 is a two stage Selexol process where H2S is removed in the first stage and CO2 in the second stage of absorption as previously described in Section 3.1.5. The process results in three product streams, the clean syngas, a CO2-rich stream, and an acid gas feed to the Claus plant. The acid gas (stream 19) contains 21.5 percent H2S and 70 percent CO2 with the balance primarily H2. The CO2-rich stream is discussed further in the CO2 compression section.
CO2 Compression and Dehydration CO2 from the AGR process is flashed at three pressure levels to separate CO2 and decrease H2 losses to the CO2 product pipeline. The HP CO2 stream is flashed at 2.0 MPa (289.7 psia),
compressed, and recycled back to the CO2 absorber. The MP CO2 stream is flashed at 1.0 MPa (149.7 psia). The LP CO2 stream is flashed at 0.1 MPa (16.7 psia), compressed to 1.0 MPa (149.5 psia), and combined with the MP CO2 stream. The combined stream is compressed from 1.0 MPa (149.5 psia) to a SC condition at 15.3 MPa (2215 psia) using a multiple-stage, intercooled compressor. During compression, the CO2 stream is dehydrated to a dewpoint of
-40ºC (-40°F) with triethylene glycol. The raw CO2 stream from the Selexol process contains over 99 percent CO2. The CO2 (stream 18) is transported to the plant fence line and is sequestration ready. CO2 TS&M costs were estimated using the methodology described in Section 2.7.
Claus Unit The Claus plant is the same as Case 3 with the following exceptions:
- 5,494 kg/hr (12,112 lb/hr) of sulfur (stream 20) are produced
- The waste heat boiler generates 12,679 kg/hr (27,953 lb/hr) of 3.0 MPa (430 psia) steam, which provides all of the Claus plant process needs and provides some additional steam to the medium pressure steam header.
Power Block Clean syngas from the AGR plant is partially humidified to 4 percent because the nitrogen available from the ASU is insufficient to provide adequate dilution. The moisturized syngas is reheated (stream 17) to 193°C (380°F) using HP BFW, diluted with nitrogen (stream 4), and then enters the CT burner. There is no integration between the CT and the ASU in this case. The exhaust gas (stream 23) exits the CT at 562°C (1044°F) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered. The FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F) (stream 24) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to power an advanced commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/994°F/994°F) steam cycle.
Air Separation Unit (ASU)
The elevated pressure ASU is the same as in other cases and produces 4,234 tonnes/day (4,668 TPD) of 95 mol% oxygen and 14,230 tonnes/day (15,686 TPD) of nitrogen. There is no integration between the ASU and the CT.
3.3.9 Case 4 Performance Results The Case 4 modeling assumptions were presented previously in Section 3.3.3.
202
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The plant produces a net output of 514 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 31.0 percent (HHV basis). Overall performance for the entire plant is summarized in Exhibit 3-60, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The ASU accounts for nearly 58 percent of the auxiliary load between the main air compressor, the nitrogen compressor, the oxygen compressor, and ASU auxiliaries. The two-stage Selexol process and CO2 compression account for an additional 27 percent of the auxiliary power load. The BFW pumps and cooling water system (CWPs and cooling tower fan) comprise nearly 6 percent of the load, leaving 9 percent of the auxiliary load for all other systems.

CO21 98 (217) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the two-stage Selexol AGR process. The CO2 capture target results in the sulfur compounds being removed to a greater extent than required in the environmental targets of Section 2.4. The clean syngas exiting the AGR process has a sulfur concentration of approximately 5 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the FG of less than 1 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is hydrogenated to convert all sulfur species to H2S, and then recycled back to the Selexol, thereby eliminating the need for a tail gas treatment unit.
NOx emissions are limited by the use of humidification and nitrogen dilution to 15 ppmvd (NO2
@ 15 percent O2). Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process and ultimately destroyed in the Claus plant burner. This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of a cyclone and a barrier filter in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety five percent of mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
Ninety five percent of the CO2 from the syngas is captured in the AGR system and compressed for sequestration. The overall carbon removal is 90.4 percent.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-62. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not neglected in the carbon balance below since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag, CO2 in the stack gas, ASU vent gas and the captured CO2 product. The carbon capture efficiency is defined as the amount of carbon in the 205
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants CO2 product stream relative to the amount of carbon in the coal less carbon contained in the slag, represented by the following fraction:
(Carbon in Product for Sequestration)/[(Carbon in the Coal)-(Carbon in Slag)] or 276,728/(308,659-2,469) *100 or 90.4 percent In revision 1 of this report, the reported CO2 capture efficiency was 88.4 percent. The high methane content of the syngas, relative to the GEE and Shell cases, prevented reaching the nominal 90 percent CO2 capture. In order to achieve 90 percent capture, the two-stage Selexol CO2 removal efficiency was increased from 92 to 95 percent.

Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams Heat and mass balance diagrams are shown for the following subsystems in Exhibit 3-65 through Exhibit 3-67:
- Coal gasification and ASU
- Syngas cleanup including sulfur recovery and tail gas recycle
- Combined cycle power generation, steam, and FW An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 3-68. The power out is the combined CT and steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 3-60) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a combined generator efficiency of 98.4 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.4 SHELL GLOBAL SOLUTIONS IGCC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 5 and 6, which are based on the Shell gasifier. Cases 5 and 6 are very similar in terms of process, equipment, scope and arrangement, except that Case 6 employs a syngas quench and includes SGS reactors, CO2 absorption/regeneration, and compression/transport systems. There are no provisions for CO2 removal in Case 5.
The balance of this section is organized in an analogous manner to Sections 3.2 and 3.3:

- Process and System Description, Performance Results, Equipment List, and Cost Estimate for Case 6 3.4.1 Gasifier Background Development and Current Status - Development of the Shell gasification process for partial oxidation of oil and gas began in the early 1950s. More than 75 commercial Shell partial-oxidation plants have been built worldwide to convert a variety of hydrocarbon liquids and gases to carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Shell Internationale Petroleum Maatschappij B.V. began work on coal gasification in 1972. The coal gasifier is significantly different than the oil and gas gasifiers developed earlier. A pressurized, entrained-flow, slagging coal gasifier was built at Shells Amsterdam laboratories.
This 5 tonnes/day (6 TPD) process development unit has operated for approximately 12,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> since 1976. A larger 150 tonnes/day (165 TPD) pilot plant was built at Shells Hamburg refinery in Hamburg, Germany. This larger unit operated for approximately 6,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> from 1978 to 1983, and successfully gasified over 27,216 tonnes (30,000 tons) of coal.
From 1974 until mid-1981, Heinrich Koppers GmbH (now Krupp Koppers) cooperated with Shell in the development work for the coal gasification technology at the 150 tonnes/day (165 TPD) pilot plant in Hamburg. Krupp Koppers is the licensor of the commercially proven Koppers-Totzek coal gasification technology, an entrained-flow slagging gasification system operated at atmospheric pressure.
In June 1981, the partnership between Shell and Krupp Koppers was terminated. Since that time, this gasification technology has been developed solely by Shell as the Shell Coal Gasification Process. Krupp Koppers continued its own development of a similar pressurized, dry feed, entrained-flow gasification technology called PRENFLO. Krupp Koppers has built and successfully operated a small 45 tonnes/day (50 TPD) PRENFLO pilot plant at Fuerstenhausen, 229
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Germany. In 2000 Shell and Krupp Uhde agreed to join forces again in gasification and jointly offer the Shell coal gasification process.
Based on the experience it gained with the Hamburg unit, Shell built a demonstration unit at its oil refinery and chemical complex in Deer Park, Texas, near Houston. This new unit, commonly called SCGP-1 (for Shell Coal Gasification Plant-1), was designed to gasify bituminous coal at the rate of 227 tonnes/day (250 TPD) and to gasify high-moisture, high-ash lignite at the rate of 363 tonnes/day (400 TPD). The relatively small difference in size between the Hamburg and Deer Park units reflects design changes and improvements.
The Deer Park demonstration plant operated successfully after startup in July 1987. Before the end of the program in 1991, after 15,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> of operation, 18 different feedstocks were gasified at the plant, including domestic coals ranging from lignite to high-sulfur bituminous, three widely traded foreign coals, and petroleum coke. The Deer Park unit produced superheated HP steam in the waste heat recovery boiler. The plant also had facilities for extensive environmental monitoring and for sidestream testing of several AGR processes, including Sulfinol-D, Sulfinol-M, highly loaded MDEA, and various wastewater treatment schemes.
In spring 1989, Shell announced that its technology had been selected for the large commercial-scale Demkolec B.V. IGCC plant at Buggenum, near Roermond, in The Netherlands. This plant generates 250 MW of IGCC electricity with a single Shell gasifier consuming 1,814 tonnes/day (2,000 TPD) (dry basis) of coal. The plant was originally owned and operated by Samenwerkende Electriciteits-Productiebedrijven NV (SEP), a consortium of Dutch utilities, and began operation in 1994. In 2000 the plant was purchased by Nuon. Shell was extensively involved in the design, startup, and initial operation of this plant. A key feature of this design is the use of extraction air from the CT air compressor to feed the oxygen plant.
Gasifier Capacity - As of 2009, Shell reported ten gasifiers in operation producing 100,000-150,000 Nm3/hr and three of the same size in construction. Another three ranging from 150,000-250,000 Nm3/hr are also in construction [61]. The large gasifier operating in The Netherlands has a bituminous coal-handling capacity of 1,633 tonnes/day (1,800 TPD) and produces dry gas at a rate of 158,575 Nm3/hr (5.6 million scf/hr) with an energy content of about 1,792 MMkJ/hr (1,700 MMBtu/hr) (HHV). This gasifier was sized to match the fuel gas requirements for the Siemens/Kraftwerk Union V-94.2 CT and could easily be scaled up to match advanced F Class turbine requirements.
Distinguishing Characteristics - The key advantage of the Shell coal gasification technology is its lack of feed coal limitations. One of the major achievements of the Shell development program has been the successful gasification of a wide variety of coals ranging from anthracite to brown coal. The dry pulverized feed system developed by Shell uses all coal types with essentially no operating and design modifications (provided the drying pulverizers are appropriately sized). The dry fed Shell gasifier also has the advantage of lower oxygen requirement than comparable slurry fed entrained flow gasifiers.
Entrained-flow slagging gasifiers have fundamental environmental advantages over fluidized-bed and moving-bed gasifiers. They produce no hydrocarbon liquids, and the only solid waste is an inert slag. The dry feed entrained-flow gasifiers also have minor environmental advantages over the slurry feed entrained-flow gasifiers. They produce a higher H2S/CO2 ratio acid gas, which improves sulfur recovery and lessens some of the gray water processing and the fixed-salts blowdown problems associated with slurry feeding.
230
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants A disadvantage of the Shell coal gasification technology is the high waste heat recovery (SGC) duty. As with the other slagging gasifiers, the Shell process has this disadvantage due to its high operating temperature. The ability to feed dry solids minimizes the oxygen requirement and makes the Shell gasifier somewhat more efficient than entrained flow gasifiers employing slurry feed systems. The penalty paid for this increase in efficiency is a coal feed system that is more costly and operationally more complex. Demonstration of the reliability and safety of the dry coal feeding system was essential for the successful development of the Shell technology. The high operating temperature required by all entrained-flow slagging processes can result in relatively high capital and maintenance costs. However, the Shell gasifier employs a cooled refractory, which requires fewer change outs than an uncooled refractory. Life of a water wall is determined by metallurgy and temperature and can provide a significant O&M cost benefit over refractory lined gasifiers.
Important Coal Characteristics - Characteristics desirable for coal considered for use in the Shell gasifier include moderate ash fusion temperature and relatively low ash content. The Shell gasifier is extremely flexible; it can handle a wide variety of different coals, including lignite.
High-ash fusion-temperature coals may require flux addition for optimal gasifier operation. The ash content, fusion temperature, and composition affect the required gasifier operating temperature level, oxygen requirements, heat removal, slag management, and maintenance.
However, dry feeding reduces the negative effects of high ash content relative to slurry feed gasifiers.
3.4.2 Process Description In this section the overall Shell gasification process for Case 5 is described. The system description follows the BFD in Exhibit 3-72 and stream numbers reference the same Exhibit.
The tables in Exhibit 3-73 provide process data for the numbered streams in the BFD.
Coal Preparation and Feed Systems Coal receiving and handling is common to all cases and was covered in Section 3.1.1. The receiving and handling subsystem ends at the coal silo. The Shell process uses a dry feed system, which is sensitive to the coal moisture content. Coal moisture consists of two parts, surface moisture and inherent moisture. For coal to flow smoothly through the lock hoppers, the surface moisture must be removed. The Illinois No. 6 coal used in this study contains 11.12 percent total moisture on an as-received basis (stream 9). It was assumed that the coal must be dried to 5 percent moisture to allow for smooth flow through the dry feed system (stream 10).
The coal is simultaneously crushed and dried in the coal mill then delivered to a surge hopper with an approximate 2-hour capacity. The drying medium is provided by combining the off-gas from the Claus plant TGTU and a slipstream of clean syngas (stream 8) and passing them through an incinerator. The incinerator FG, with an oxygen content of 6 vol%, is then used to dry the coal in the mill.
The coal is drawn from the surge hoppers and fed through a pressurization lock hopper system to a dense phase pneumatic conveyor, which uses nitrogen from the ASU to convey the coal to the gasifiers.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Gasifier There are two Shell dry feed, pressurized, upflow, entrained, slagging gasifiers, operating at 4.2 MPa (615 psia) and processing a total of 4,753 tonnes/day (5,240 TPD) of as-received coal. The air separation plant supplies 3,614 tonnes/day (3,984 TPD) of 95 percent oxygen to the gasifiers (stream 5) and the Claus plant (stream 3). Coal reacts with oxygen and steam at a temperature of 1427°C (2600°F) in the gasifier to produce principally hydrogen and carbon monoxide with little carbon dioxide formed.
The gasifier includes a refractory-lined water wall that is also protected by molten slag that solidifies on the cooled walls.
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal High-temperature heat recovery in each gasifier train is accomplished in three steps, including the gasifier jacket, which cools and solidifies slag touching the gasifier walls and maintains the syngas temperature at 1,427°C (2,600°F). The product gas from the gasifier is cooled to approximately 1,093°C (2,000°F) by adding cooled recycled fuel gas to lower the temperature below the ash melting point. Gas (stream 12) then goes through a duct cooler and syngas cooler, which lower the gas temperature from approximately 1,093°C (2,000°F) to 316°C (600°F), and produce HP steam for use in the steam cycle.
After passing through the duct cooler and syngas cooler, the syngas passes through a cyclone and a raw gas candle filter where a majority of the fine particles are removed and returned to the gasifier with the coal fuel. The filter consists of an array of ceramic candle elements in a pressure vessel. Fines produced by the gasification system are recirculated to extinction. The ash that is not carried out with the gas forms slag and runs down the interior walls, exiting the gasifier in liquid form. The slag is solidified in a quench tank for disposal (stream 11).
Lockhoppers are used to reduce the pressure of the solids from 4.2 to 0.1 MPa (615 to 15 psia).
The syngas scrubber removes additional PM further downstream.
After passing through the cyclone and ceramic candle filter array, the syngas is further cooled to 191°C (375°F) (stream 13) by raising IP steam.
Quench Gas Compressor About 30 percent of the cooled syngas is recycled back to the gasifier exit as quench gas. A single-stage compressor is utilized to boost the pressure of the cooled fuel gas stream from 4.0 MPa (575 psia) to 4.0 MPa (585 psia) to provide quench gas to cool the gas stream from the gasifier.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper The raw syngas exiting the final raw gas cooler at 191°C (375°F) (stream 13) then enters the scrubber for removal of chlorides, SO2, NH3 and remaining particulate. The quench scrubber washes the syngas in a counter-current flow in two packed beds. The syngas leaves the scrubber saturated at a temperature of 94°C (201ºF). The quench scrubber removes essentially all traces of entrained particles, principally unconverted carbon, slag, and metals. The bottoms from the scrubber are sent to the slag removal and handling system for processing.
The sour water stripper removes NH3, SO2, and other impurities from the waste stream of the scrubber. The sour gas stripper consists of a sour drum that accumulates sour water from the gas 235
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants scrubber and condensate from SGCs. Sour water from the drum flows to the sour stripper, which consists of a packed column with a steam-heated reboiler. Sour gas is stripped from the liquid and sent to the SRU. Remaining water is sent to wastewater treatment.
COS Hydrolysis, Mercury Removal and AGR H2S and COS are at significant concentrations, requiring removal for the power plant to achieve the low design level of SO2 emissions. H2S is removed in an AGR process; however, because COS is not readily removable, it is first catalytically converted to H2S in a COS hydrolysis unit.
Following the water scrubber, the gas is reheated to 177°C (350°F) and fed to the COS hydrolysis reactor. The COS in the sour gas is hydrolyzed with steam over a catalyst bed to H2S, which is more easily removed by the AGR solvent. Before the raw fuel gas can be treated in the AGR process (stream 14), it must be cooled to about 35°C (95°F). During this cooling through a series of heat exchangers, part of the water vapor condenses. This water, which contains some NH3, is sent to the sour water stripper. The cooled syngas (stream 15) then passes through a carbon bed to remove 95 percent of the Hg (Section 3.1.4).
The Sulfinol process, developed by Shell in the early 1960s, is a combination process that uses a mixture of amines and a physical solvent. The solvent consists of an aqueous amine and sulfolane. Sulfinol-D uses diisopropanolamine (DIPA), while Sulfinol-M uses MDEA. The mixed solvents allow for better solvent loadings at high acid gas partial pressures and higher solubility of COS and organic sulfur compounds than straight aqueous amines. Sulfinol-M was selected for this application.
The sour syngas is fed directly into an HP contactor. The HP contactor is an absorption column in which the H2S, COS, CO2, and small amounts of H2 and CO are removed from the gas by the Sulfinol solvent. The overhead gas stream from the HP contactor is then washed with water in the sweet gas scrubber before leaving the unit as the feed gas to the sulfur polishing unit.
The rich solvent from the bottom of the HP contactor flows through a hydraulic turbine and is flashed in the rich solvent flash vessel. The flashed gas is then scrubbed in the LP contactor with lean solvent to remove H2S and COS. The overhead from the LP contactor is flashed in the LP KO drum. This gas can be used as a utility fuel gas, consisting primarily of H2 and CO, at 0.8 MPa (118 psia) and 38°C (101°F). The solvent from the bottom of the LP contactor is returned to the rich solvent flash vessel.
Hot, lean solvent in the lean/rich solvent exchanger then heats the flashed rich solvent before entering the stripper. The stripper strips the H2S, COS, and CO2 from the solvent at LP with heat supplied through the stripper reboiler. The acid gas stream to sulfur recovery/tail gas cleanup is recovered as the flash gas from the stripper accumulator. The lean solvent from the bottom of the stripper is cooled in the lean/rich solvent exchanger and the lean solvent cooler. Most of the lean solvent is pumped to the HP contactor. A small amount goes to the LP contactor.
The Sulfinol process removes essentially all of the CO2 along with the H2S and COS. The acid gas fed to the SRU contains 39 vol% H2S and 45 vol% CO2. The CO2 passes through the SRU, the TGTU and ultimately is vented through the coal dryer. Since the amount of CO2 in the syngas is small initially, this does not have a significant effect on the mass flow reaching the GT.
However, the costs of the sulfur recovery/tail gas cleanup are higher than for a sulfur removal process producing an acid gas stream with a higher sulfur concentration.
236
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Claus Unit The SRU is a Claus bypass type SRU utilizing oxygen (stream 3) instead of air. The Claus plant produces molten sulfur (stream 21) by reacting approximately one third of the H2S in the feed to SO2, then reacting the H2S and SO2 to sulfur and water. The use of Claus technology results in an overall sulfur recovery exceeding 99 percent.
Utilizing oxygen instead of air in the Claus plant reduces the overall cost of the sulfur recovery plant. The sulfur plant produces approximately 119 tonnes/day (131 TPD) of elemental sulfur.
Feed for this case consists of acid gas from both the acid gas cleanup unit (stream 20) and a vent stream from the sour water stripper in the gasifier section. A slipstream of clean syngas (stream
- 8) is passed through an incinerator and combusted with air. The hot, nearly inert incinerator off gas is used to dry coal before being vented to the atmosphere.
In the furnace waste heat boiler, 11,991 kg/hr (26,435 lb/hr) of 3.0 MPa (430 psia) steam are generated. This steam is used to satisfy all Claus process preheating and reheating requirements as well as to provide some steam to the medium-pressure steam header. The sulfur condensers produce 0.34 MPa (50 psig) steam for the LP steam header.
Power Block Clean syngas exiting the Sulfinol absorber (stream 17) is humidified because there is not sufficient nitrogen from the ASU to provide the level of dilution required. The moisturized syngas (stream 18) is reheated (stream 19), further diluted with nitrogen from the ASU (stream
- 4) and steam, and enters the advanced F Class CT burner. The CT compressor provides combustion air to the burner and also 19 percent of the air requirements in the ASU (stream 24).
The exhaust gas exits the CT at 587°C (1,088°F) (stream 25) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered until the FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F) (stream 26) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to power an advanced, commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/559°C/559°C (1800 psig/1038°F/1038°F) steam cycle.
Air Separation Unit (ASU)
The ASU is designed to produce a nominal output of 3,614 tonnes/day (3,984 TPD) of 95 mol%
O2 for use in the gasifier (stream 5) and SRU (stream 3). The plant is designed with two production trains. The air compressor is powered by an electric motor. Approximately 11,028 tonnes/day (12,156 TPD) of nitrogen are also recovered, compressed, and used as dilution in the GT combustor. About 4 percent of the GT air is used to supply approximately 19 percent of the ASU air requirements.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.4.4 Sparing Philosophy The sparing philosophy for Cases 5 and 6 is provided below. Single trains are utilized throughout with exceptions where equipment capacity requires an additional train. There is no redundancy other than normal sparing of rotating equipment.
The plant design consists of the following major subsystems:
- Two ASUs (2 x 50%)
- Two trains of coal drying and dry feed systems (2 x 50%)
- Two trains of gasification, including gasifier, SGC, cyclone, and barrier filter (2 x 50%).
- Two trains of syngas clean-up process (2 x 50%).
- Two trains of Sulfinol-M acid gas removal in Case 5 and two-stage Selexol in Case 6 (2 x 50%),
- One train of Claus-based sulfur recovery (1 x 100%).
- Two CT/HRSG tandems (2 x 50%).
- One steam turbine (1 x 100%).
3.4.5 Case 5 Performance Results The plant produces a net output of 629 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 42.1 percent (HHV basis). Shell has reported expected efficiencies using bituminous coal of around 44-45 percent (HHV basis), although this value excluded the net power impact of coal drying [ 62]. Accounting for coal drying would reduce the efficiency by only about 0.5-1 percentage points so the efficiency results for the Shell case are still lower in this study than reported by the vendor.
Overall performance for the entire plant is summarized in Exhibit 3-75, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The ASU accounts for approximately 79 percent of the total auxiliary load distributed between the main air compressor, the oxygen compressor, the nitrogen compressor, and ASU auxiliaries. The cooling water system, including the CWPs and cooling tower fan, accounts for approximately 5 percent of the auxiliary load, and the BFW pumps account for an additional 4 percent. All other individual auxiliary loads are 3 percent or less of the total.

CO21 723 (1,595) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the Sulfinol-M AGR process. The AGR process removes over 99 percent of the sulfur compounds in the fuel gas down to a level of less than 6 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the HRSG FG of less than 2 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is compressed and recycled back to the AGR to capture most of the remaining sulfur. The SO2 emissions in Exhibit 3-76 include both the stack emissions and the coal dryer emissions.
NOx emissions are limited by the use of nitrogen dilution, humidification and steam dilution to 15 ppmvd (as NO2 @ 15 percent O2). Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process and destroyed in the Claus plant burner.
This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of a cyclone and a barrier filter in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety five percent of the mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
CO2 emissions represent the uncontrolled discharge from the process.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-77. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag, as dissolved CO2 in the wastewater blowdown stream, and as CO2 in the stack gas, ASU vent gas and coal dryer vent gas. Carbon in the wastewater blowdown stream is calculated by difference to close the material balance.

Exhibit 3-79 shows the overall water balance for the plant. Explanation on the water balance has been given for Case 1 [GEE] and Case 3 [CoP] but is also presented here for completeness.
Water demand represents the total amount of water required for a particular process. Some water is recovered within the process, primarily as syngas condensate, and is re-used as internal recycle. The difference between demand and recycle is raw water withdrawal. Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant and was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal can be represented by the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as cooling tower makeup, BFW makeup, quench system makeup, and slag handling makeup. The difference between water withdrawal and process water discharge is defined as water consumption and can be represented by the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source from which it was withdrawn. Water consumption represents the net impact of the plant process on the water source balance.

- Coal gasification and ASU
- Syngas cleanup, sulfur recovery, and tail gas recycle
- Combined cycle power generation, steam, and FW An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 3-54. The power out is the combined CT and steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 3-75) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a combined generator efficiency of 98.3 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.4.8 Case 6 - Shell IGCC Power Plant with CO2 Capture This case is configured to produce electric power with CO2 capture. The plant configuration is the same as Case 5, namely two Shell gasifier trains, two advanced F class turbines, two HRSGs and one steam turbine. The gross power output is constrained by the capacity of the two CTs, and since the CO2 capture and compression process increases the auxiliary load on the plant, the net output is significantly reduced relative to Case 5 (497 MW versus 629 MW).
The process description for Case 6 is similar to Case 5 with several notable exceptions to accommodate CO2 capture. A BFD and stream tables for Case 6 are shown in Exhibit 3-87 and Exhibit 3-88, respectively. Instead of repeating the entire process description, only differences from Case 5 are reported here.
Coal Preparation and Feed Systems No differences from Case 5.
Gasification The gasification process is the same as Case 5 with the following exceptions:
- Total coal feed (as-received) to the two gasifiers is 5,065 tonnes/day (5,583 TPD)
(stream 9)
- The ASU provides 3,852 tonnes/day (4,246 TPD) of 95 mol% oxygen to the gasifier and Claus plant (streams 5 and 3)
Raw Gas Cooling/Particulate Removal After the raw syngas is cooled to approximately 1,093°C (2,000°F) by the syngas quench recycle, syngas is further cooled to 899°C (1,650°F) by raising HP steam at 13.8 MPa (2,000 psia). A water quench follows to cool the raw syngas from 899°C (1,650°F) to 399°C (750°F) while providing a portion of the water required for WGS. The syngas is then cooled to 316°C (600°F) by raising steam, which is used in the SGS unit. After particulate filtration, the syngas is cooled to 232°C (450°F) by raising IP steam at 0.4 MPa (65 psia) before proceeding to the scrubber.
Syngas Scrubber/Sour Water Stripper Syngas exits the scrubber at 191°C (376°F).
Sour Gas Shift (SGS)
The SGS process was described in Section 3.1.3. In Case 6 the syngas after the scrubber is reheated to 197°C (386°F) and then steam (stream 14) is added to adjust the H2O:CO molar ratio to approximately 1.8:1 prior to the first SGS reactor. The hot syngas exiting the first stage of SGS is used to preheat water used to humidify clean syngas prior to entering the CT. One more stage of SGS (for a total of two) results in 97.8 percent overall conversion of the CO to CO2.
The warm syngas from the second stage of SGS is cooled to 248°C (478°F) by preheating the syngas prior to the first stage of SGS. The SGS catalyst also serves to hydrolyze COS thus eliminating the need for a separate COS hydrolysis reactor. Following the second stage of SGS, the syngas is further cooled to 35°C (95°F) prior to the mercury removal beds.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Mercury Removal and AGR Mercury removal is the same as in Case 5.
The AGR process in Case 6 is a two stage Selexol process where H2S is removed in the first stage and CO2 in the second stage of absorption. The process results in three product streams, the clean syngas (stream 18), a CO2-rich stream and an acid gas feed to the Claus plant (stream 22). The acid gas contains 34 percent H2S and 51 percent CO2 with the balance primarily H2.
The CO2-rich stream is discussed further in the CO2 compression section.
CO2 Compression and Dehydration CO2 from the AGR process is flashed at three pressure levels to separate CO2 and decrease H2 losses to the CO2 product pipeline. The HP CO2 stream is flashed at 2.0 MPa (289.7 psia),
compressed, and recycled back to the CO2 absorber. The MP CO2 stream is flashed at 1.0 MPa (149.7 psia). The LP CO2 stream is flashed at 0.1 MPa (16.7 psia), compressed to 1.0 MPa (149.5 psia), and combined with the MP CO2 stream. The combined stream is compressed from 1.0 MPa (149.5 psia) to a SC condition at 15.3 MPa (2215 psia) using a multiple-stage, intercooled compressor. During compression, the CO2 stream is dehydrated to a dewpoint of
-40ºC (-40°F) with triethylene glycol. The raw CO2 stream from the Selexol process contains over 99 percent CO2. The CO2 (stream 21) is transported to the plant fence line and is sequestration ready. CO2 TS&M costs were estimated using the methodology described in Section 2.7.
Claus Unit The Claus plant is the same as Case 5 with the following exceptions:
- 5,277 kg/hr (11,634 lb/hr) of sulfur (stream 23) are produced
- The waste heat boiler generates 13,697 kg/hr (30,197 lb/hr) of 3.0 MPa (430 psia) steam, which provides all of the Claus plant process needs and provides some additional steam to the medium pressure steam header.
Power Block Clean syngas from the AGR plant is combined with a small amount of clean gas from the CO2 compression process (stream 18) and partially humidified because the nitrogen available from the ASU is insufficient to provide adequate dilution. The moisturized syngas is reheated to 193°C (380°F) using HP BFW, diluted with nitrogen (stream 4), and then enters the CT burner.
The exhaust gas (stream 27) exits the CT at 562°C (1,043°F) and enters the HRSG where additional heat is recovered. The FG exits the HRSG at 132°C (270°F) (stream 28) and is discharged through the plant stack. The steam raised in the HRSG is used to power an advanced commercially available steam turbine using a 12.4 MPa/534°C/534°C (1800 psig/993°F/993°F) steam cycle. There is no integration between the CT and the ASU in this case.
Air Separation Unit (ASU)
The same elevated pressure ASU is used as in Case 5 and produces 3,852 tonnes/day (4,246 TPD) of 95 mol% oxygen and 12,290 tonnes/day (13,547 TPD) of nitrogen. There is no integration between the ASU and the CT.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 3.4.9 Case 6 Performance Results The Case 6 modeling assumptions were presented previously in Section 3.4.3.
The plant produces a net output of 497 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 31.2 percent (HHV basis). Overall performance for the plant is summarized in Exhibit 3-89, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The ASU accounts for approximately 58 percent of the auxiliary load between the main air compressor, the nitrogen compressor, the oxygen compressor and ASU auxiliaries. The two-stage Selexol process and CO2 compression account for an additional 28 percent of the auxiliary power load. The BFW and CWS (CWPs and cooling tower fan) comprise approximately 4 percent of the load, leaving 10 percent of the auxiliary load for all other systems.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Environmental Performance The environmental targets for emissions of Hg, NOx, SO2, CO2, and PM were presented in Section 2.4. A summary of the plant air emissions for Case 6 is presented in Exhibit 3-90.

CO21 99 (218) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power The low level of SO2 emissions is achieved by capture of the sulfur in the gas by the two-stage Selexol AGR process. The CO2 capture target results in the sulfur compounds being removed to a greater extent than required in the environmental targets of Section 2.4. The clean syngas exiting the AGR process has a sulfur concentration of approximately 4 ppmv. This results in a concentration in the HRSG FG of less than 1 ppmv. The H2S-rich regeneration gas from the AGR system is fed to a Claus plant, producing elemental sulfur. The Claus plant tail gas is compressed and recycled back to the AGR where most of the remaining sulfur is removed.
NOx emissions are limited by the use of nitrogen dilution and humidification to 15 ppmvd (as NO2 @ 15 percent O2). Ammonia in the syngas is removed with process condensate prior to the low-temperature AGR process and subsequently destroyed in the Claus plant burner. This helps lower NOx levels as well.
Particulate discharge to the atmosphere is limited to extremely low values by the use of a cyclone and a barrier filter in addition to the syngas scrubber and the gas washing effect of the AGR absorber. The particulate emissions represent filterable particulate only.
Ninety five percent of mercury is captured from the syngas by an activated carbon bed.
Ninety five percent of the CO2 from the syngas is captured in the AGR system and compressed for sequestration. Because not all CO is converted to CO2 in the shift reactors, the overall CO2 removal is 90.1 percent.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 3-91. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the air in addition to carbon in the coal. Carbon in the air is not used in the carbon capture equation below, but it is not neglected in the balance since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as unburned carbon in the slag, CO2 in the stack gas, coal dryer vent gas, ASU vent gas and the captured CO2 product. The carbon capture efficiency is defined as the amount of carbon in the CO2 product stream relative to the amount of carbon in the coal less carbon contained in the slag, represented by the following fraction:

Exhibit 3-92 shows the sulfur balance for the plant. Sulfur input comes solely from the sulfur in the coal. Sulfur output includes the sulfur recovered in the Claus plant, sulfur emitted in the stack gas and sulfur from the tail gas unit that is vented through the coal dryer. Sulfur in the slag is considered negligible.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The components of TOC and the overall TASC of the six IGCC cases are shown in Exhibit 3-102. The following TOC observations are made with the caveat that the differences between cases are less than the estimate accuracy (-15%/+30%). However, all cases are evaluated using a common set of technical and economic assumptions allowing meaningful comparisons among the cases:
- CoP has the lowest TOC cost among the non-capture cases. The E-Gas technology has several features that lend it to being lower cost, such as:
o The firetube syngas cooler is much smaller and less expensive than a radiant section. E-Gas can use a firetube boiler because the two-stage design reduces the gas temperature (slurry quench) and drops the syngas temperature into a range where a radiant cooler is not needed.
o The firetube syngas cooler sits next to the gasifier instead of above or below it, which reduces the height of the main gasifier structure. The E-Gas proprietary slag removal system, used instead of lock hoppers below the gasifier, also contributes to the lower structure height.
The TOC of the GEE gasifier is about 4 percent greater than CoP and Shell is about 16 percent higher.

- The GEE gasifier is the low cost technology in the CO2 capture cases, with CoP about 4 percent higher and Shell about 17 percent higher. The greatest uncertainty in all of the capital cost estimates is for the Shell capture case, which is based on a water quench process that has been proposed by Shell in a patent application [63]. However, to date there have been no commercial applications of this configuration.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
- The ASU cost represents on average 12 percent of the TOC (range from 10.5-12.9 percent). The ASU cost includes oxygen and nitrogen compression, and in the non-capture cases, also includes the cost of the CT extraction air heat exchanger. With nitrogen dilution used to the maximum extent possible, nitrogen compression costs are significant.

GEE GEE w/CO2 Capture CoP CoP w/ CO2 Capture Shell Shell w/ CO2 Capture The following observations can be made:
- The COE is dominated by capital costs, at least 56 percent of the total in all cases.
- In the non-capture cases the CoP gasifier has the lowest COE, but the differential with Shell is reduced (compared to the TOC) primarily because of the higher efficiency of the Shell gasifier. The Shell COE is 10 percent higher than CoP (compared to 16 percent higher TOC). The GEE gasifier COE is about 3 percent higher than CoP.
- In the capture cases the variation in COE is small, however the order of the GEE and CoP gasifiers is reversed. The range is from 105.7 mills/kWh for GEE to 119.5 mills/kWh for Shell with CoP intermediate at 110.4 mills/kWh. The COE CO2 capture premium for the IGCC cases averages 45 percent (range of 39 to 49 percent).

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants
The effect of CF and coal price on COE is shown in Exhibit 3-104 and Exhibit 3-105, respectively.
The assumption implicit in Exhibit 3-104 is that each gasifier technology can achieve a CF of up to 90 percent with no additional capital equipment. The cost differential between technologies decreases as CF increases. At low CF the capital cost differential is more magnified and the spread between technologies increases slightly.

COE is relatively insensitive to fuel costs for the IGCC cases as shown in Exhibit 3-105. A tripling of coal price from 1 to $3/MMBtu results in an average COE increase of only about 19-25 percent for all cases.
As presented in Section 2.4 the cost of CO2 capture was calculated as an avoided cost. The results for the IGCC CO2 capture cases are shown in Exhibit 3-106. The first year cost of CO2 avoided using each analogous IGCC non-capture technology as the reference averages
$52.9/tonne ($48/ton) with a range of $43-$61.7/tonne ($39-$56/ton). The cost of CO2 avoided is higher when using SC PC without CO2 capture as the technology reference. Avoided costs average $75/tonne ($68/ton) with a range of $66.1-$86/tonne ($60-$78/ton). The avoided cost is elevated because SC PC without capture has a significantly lower COE than any IGCC technology.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The following observations can be made regarding plant performance:
- In the non-carbon capture cases the dry fed Shell gasifier has the highest net plant efficiency (42.1 percent), followed by the two-stage CoP slurry fed gasifier (39.7 percent) and the single-stage GEE gasifier (39.0 percent). The absolute values of the GEE and CoP gasifiers are close to the reported values per the vendors [59, 60]. The Shell efficiency is slightly lower than reported by the vendor in other recent presentations [62].
- In the CO2 capture cases the efficiency of the three gasifiers ranges from 31.0 to 32.6 percent.
- The dry fed Shell gasifier experiences the largest energy penalty (25.9 relative percent) primarily because addition of the steam required for the WGS reaction is provided as quench water to reduce the syngas temperature from 899°C (1,650°F) to 399°C (750°F).
Quench to 399°C (750°F) reduces the amount of heat recovered in the syngas cooler relative to the non-capture case where syngas recycle reduces the temperature to only 1,093°C (2,000°F) prior to the cooler. The CO2 capture scheme used in this study for the Shell process is similar to one described in a recent Shell patent application [63].
- The CoP process experiences the second largest energy penalty (21.9 relative percent) primarily because, like the Shell case, a significant amount of water must be added to the syngas for the SGS reactions.
- The energy penalty for the GEE gasifier with CO2 capture is 16.3 relative percent. The smaller energy penalty results from the large amount of water already in the syngas from the quench step prior to SGS. While the quench limits the efficiency in the non-capture case, it is the primary reason that the net efficiency is slightly greater than CoP and Shell in the CO2 capture case.
- The assumed carbon conversion efficiency in this study for the three gasifiers results in differing amount of carbon in the slag. Exhibit 3-107 shows carbon conversion and slag carbon content. CO2 capture efficiency is reported based on the amount of carbon entering the system with the coal less the carbon exiting the gasifier with the slag.
Exhibit 3-107 Carbon Conversion Efficiency and Slag Carbon Content Gasifier Vendor Carbon Conversion, % Slag Carbon Content, wt%
GEE 98.0 11.62 CoP 99.2 5.00 Shell 99.5 3.18
- Particulate emissions and Hg emissions are essentially the same for all six IGCC cases.
The environmental target for particulate emissions is 0.0071 lb/MMBtu, and it was assumed that the combination of particulate control used by each technology could meet this limit. Similarly, the carbon beds used for mercury control were uniformly assumed to achieve 95 percent removal. The small variation in Hg emissions is due to a similar small variation in coal feed rate among the six cases. In all cases the Hg emissions are substantially below the NSPS requirement of 20 x 10-6 lb/MWh. Had 90 percent been 302
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants chosen for the Hg removal efficiency, all six cases would still have had emissions less than half of the NSPS limit.
- Based on vendor data, it was assumed that the advanced F class turbine would achieve 15 ppmv NOx emissions at 15 percent O2 for both standard syngas in the non-capture cases and for high hydrogen syngas in the CO2 capture cases. The NOx emissions are slightly lower in the three capture cases (compared to non-capture) because of the lower syngas volume generated in high hydrogen syngas cases.
- The environmental target for SO2 emissions is 0.0128 lb/MMBtu. Vendor quotes confirmed that each of the AGR processes, Selexol, refrigerated MDEA and Sulfinol-M, could meet the limit. CoP E-Gas has the highest SO2 emissions (0.005 kg/GJ (0.012 lb/MMBtu)) of the six IGCC cases because refrigerated MDEA has the lowest H2S removal efficiency of the AGR technologies. The two-stage Selexol process used for each of the CO2 capture cases resulted in lower SO2 emissions because the unit was designed to meet the CO2 removal requirement.
Water withdrawal, process discharge, and water consumption, all normalized by net output, are presented in Exhibit 3-108. The following observations can be made:
- Raw water usage for all cases is dominated by cooling tower makeup requirements, which accounts for 79-87 percent of raw water usage in non-capture cases and 73-75 percent in CO2 capture cases.
- Normalized water withdrawal for the GEE non-capture case is 9 percent higher than the CoP non-capture case and 15 percent higher than the Shell non-capture case primarily because of the large quench water requirement. However, because much of the quench water is subsequently recovered as condensate as the syngas is cooled, the raw water consumption of the GEE process is only 9 percent higher than CoP and 13 percent higher than Shell.
- The Shell non-capture case has the lowest normalized water withdrawal, but is approximately equal to CoP in normalized raw water consumption because very little water is available to recover for internal recycle in the Shell system. The GEE normalized raw water consumption is slightly higher than CoP and Shell primarily because the larger steam turbine output leads to higher cooling tower makeup requirements.
- The normalized water withdrawal for the three CO2 capture cases varies by only 6 percent from the highest to the lowest. The variation between cases is small because each technology requires approximately the same amount of water in the syngas prior to the shift reactors. The difference in technologies is where and how the water is introduced.
Much of the water is introduced in the quench sections of the GEE and Shell cases while steam is added in the CoP case.
- The normalized raw water consumption in the CO2 capture cases also shows little variation with GEE the lowest, CoP only 3.4 percent higher and Shell about 7 percent higher.

- 4. PULVERIZED COAL RANKINE CYCLE PLANTS Four PC fired (PC) Rankine cycle power plant configurations were evaluated and the results are presented in this section. Each design is based on a market-ready technology that is assumed to be commercially available in time for the plant startup date. All designs employ a one-on-one configuration comprised of a state-of-the art PC steam generator firing Illinois No. 6 coal and a steam turbine.
The PC cases are evaluated with and without CO2 capture on a common 550 MWe net basis.
The designs that include CO2 capture have a larger gross unit size to compensate for the higher auxiliary loads. The constant net output sizing basis is selected because it provides for a meaningful side-by-side comparison of the results. The boiler and steam turbine industry ability to match unit size to a custom specification has been commercially demonstrated enabling common net output comparison of the PC cases in this study. As discussed in Section 0, this was not possible in the IGCC cases because of the fixed output from the CT. However, the net output from the PC cases falls in the range of outputs from the IGCC cases, which average 518 MW for CO2 capture cases and 625 MW for non-capture cases.
Steam conditions for the Rankine cycle cases were selected based on a survey of boiler and steam turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEM), who were asked for the most advanced steam conditions that they would guarantee for a commercial project in the US with subcritical and SC PC units rated at nominal 550 MWe net capacities and firing Illinois No. 6 coal [64].
Based on the OEM responses, the following single-reheat steam conditions were selected for the study:
For subcritical cases (9 and 10) - 16.5 MPa/566°C/566°C (2,400 psig/1,050°F/1,050°F)
For SC cases (11 and 12) - 24.1 MPa/593°C/593°C (3,500 psig/1,100°F/1,100°F)
While the current DOE program for the ultra SC cycle materials development targets 732°C/760°C (1,350ºF/1,400ºF) at 34.5 MPa (5,000 psi) cycle conditions to be available by 2015, and a similar Thermie program in the European Union (EU) has targeted 700°C/720°C (1,292ºF/1,328ºF) at about 29.0 MPa (4,200 psi) [65], steam temperature selection for boilers depends upon fuel corrosiveness. Most of the contacted OEMs were of the opinion that the steam conditions in this range would be limited to low sulfur coal applications (such as PRB).
Their primary concern is that elevated temperature operation while firing high sulfur coal (such as Illinois No. 6) would result in an exponential increase of the material wastage rates of the highest temperature portions of the superheater and RH due to coal ash corrosion, requiring pressure parts replacement outages approximately every 10 or 15 years. This cost would offset the value of fuel savings and emissions reduction due to the higher efficiency. The availability/reliability of the more exotic materials required to support the elevated temperature environment for high sulfur/chlorine applications, while extensively demonstrated in the laboratory [66], has not been commercially demonstrated. In addition, the three most recently built SC units in North America have steam cycles similar to this studys design basis, namely Genesee Phase 3 in Canada, which started operations in 2004 (25.0 MPa/570°C/568°C [3,625 psia/1,058°F/1,054°F]), Council Bluffs 4 in the United States, which started operation in 2007 (25.4 MPa/566°C/593°C [3,690 psia/1,050°F/1,100°F]), and Oak Creek 1 and 2, which are currently under construction (24.1 MPa/566°C [3,500 psig/1,050°F]).

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The evaluation basis details, including site ambient conditions, fuel composition and the emissions control basis, are provided in Section 2 of this report.
4.1 PC COMMON PROCESS AREAS The PC cases have process areas that are common to each plant configuration, such as coal receiving and storage, emissions control technologies, power generation, etc. As detailed descriptions of these process areas in each case section would be burdensome and repetitious, they are presented in this section for general background information. The performance features of these sections are then presented in the case-specific sections.
4.1.1 Coal and Sorbent Receiving and Storage The function of the coal portion of the Coal and Sorbent Receiving and Storage system for PC plants is identical to the IGCC facilities. It is to provide the equipment required for unloading, conveying, preparing, and storing the fuel delivered to the plant. The scope of the system is from the trestle bottom dumper and coal receiving hoppers up to the coal storage silos. The system is designed to support short-term operation at the 5 percent over pressure/valves wide open (OP/VWO) condition (16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />) and long-term operation of 90 days or more at the maximum continuous rating (MCR).
The scope of the sorbent receiving and storage system includes truck roadways, turnarounds, unloading hoppers, conveyors and the day storage bin.
Operation Description - The coal is delivered to the site by 100-car unit trains comprised of 91 tonne (100 ton) rail cars. The unloading is done by a trestle bottom dumper, which unloads the coal into two receiving hoppers. Coal from each hopper is fed directly into a vibratory feeder.
The 8 cm x 0 (3" x 0) coal from the feeder is discharged onto a belt conveyor. Two conveyors with an intermediate transfer tower are assumed to convey the coal to the coal stacker, which transfer the coal to either the long-term storage pile or to the reclaim area. The conveyor passes under a magnetic plate separator to remove tramp iron and then to the reclaim pile.
Coal from the reclaim pile is fed by two vibratory feeders, located under the pile, onto a belt conveyor, which transfers the coal to the coal surge bin located in the crusher tower. The coal is reduced in size to 2.5 cm x 0 (1" x 0) by the coal crushers. The coal is then transferred by conveyor to the transfer tower. In the transfer tower the coal is routed to the tripper that loads the coal into one of the six boiler silos.
Limestone is delivered to the site using 23 tonne (25 ton) trucks. The trucks empty into a below grade hopper where a feeder transfers the limestone to a conveyor for delivery to the storage pile.
Limestone from the storage pile is transferred to a reclaim hopper and conveyed to a day bin.
4.1.2 Steam Generator and Ancillaries The steam generator for the subcritical PC plants is a drum-type, wall-fired, balanced draft, natural circulation, totally enclosed dry bottom furnace, with superheater, reheater, economizer and air-heater.
The steam generator for the SC plants is a once-through, spiral-wound, Benson-boiler, wall-fired, balanced draft type unit with a water-cooled dry bottom furnace. It includes superheater, reheater, economizer, and air heater.
306
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants It is assumed for the purposes of this study that the power plant is designed to be operated as a base-loaded unit but with some consideration for daily or weekly cycling.
The combustion systems for both subcritical and SC steam conditions are equipped with LNBs and OFA. It is assumed for the purposes of this study that the power plant is designed for operation as a base-load unit.
Scope The steam generator includes the following for both subcritical and SC PCs:
Drum-type evaporator Economizer OFA system (subcritical only)
Once-through type steam Spray type desuperheater Forced draft (FD) fans generator (SC only)
Startup circuit, including Soot blower system Primary air (PA) fans integral separators (SC only)
Water-cooled furnace, Air preheaters Induced draft (ID) fans dry bottom (Ljungstrom type)
Two-stage superheater Coal feeders and pulverizers Reheater (RH) Low NOx Coal burners and light oil igniters/
warm-up system The steam generator operates as follows:
Feedwater and Steam For the subcritical steam system FW enters the economizer, recovers heat from the combustion gases exiting the steam generator, and then passes to the boiler drum, from where it is distributed to the water wall circuits enclosing the furnace. After passing through the lower and upper furnace circuits and steam drum in sequence, the steam passes through the convection enclosure circuits to the primary superheater and then to the secondary superheater.
The steam then exits the steam generator en route to the HP turbine. Steam from the HP turbine returns to the steam generator as cold reheat and returns to the IP turbine as hot reheat.
For the SC steam system FW enters the bottom header of the economizer and passes upward through the economizer tube bank, through stringer tubes, which support the primary superheater, and discharges to the economizer outlet headers. From the outlet headers, water flows to the furnace hopper inlet headers via external downcomers. Water then flows upward through the furnace hopper and furnace wall tubes. From the furnace, water flows to the steam water separator. During low load operation (operation below the Benson point), the water from the separator is returned to the economizer inlet with the boiler recirculating pump. Operation at loads above the Benson point is once through.
307
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Steam flows from the separator through the furnace roof to the convection pass enclosure walls, primary superheater, through the first stage of water attemperation, to the furnace platens. From the platens, the steam flows through the second stage of attemperation and then to the intermediate superheater. The steam then flows to the final superheater and on to the outlet pipe terminal. Two stages of spray attemperation are used to provide tight temperature control in all high temperature sections during rapid load changes.
Steam returning from the turbine passes through the primary reheater surface, then through crossover piping containing inter-stage attemperation. The crossover piping feeds the steam to the final reheater banks and then out to the turbine. Inter-stage attemperation is used to provide outlet temperature control during load changes.
Air and Combustion Products Combustion air from the FD fans is heated in Ljungstrom type air preheaters, recovering heat energy from the exhaust gases exiting the boiler. This air is distributed to the burner windbox as secondary air. Air for conveying PC to the burners is supplied by the PA fans. This air is heated in the Ljungstrom type air preheaters to permit drying of the PC, and a portion of the air from the PA fans bypasses the air preheaters to be used for regulating the outlet coal/air temperature leaving the mills.
The PC and air mixture flows to the coal nozzles at various elevations of the furnace. The hot combustion products rise to the top of the boiler and pass through the superheater and reheater sections. The gases then pass through the economizer and air preheater. The gases exit the steam generator at this point and flow to the SCR reactor, fabric filter, ID fan, FGD system, and stack.
Fuel Feed The crushed Illinois No. 6 bituminous coal is fed through feeders to each of the mills (pulverizers), where its size is reduced to approximately 72 percent passing 200 mesh and less than 0.5 percent remaining on 50 mesh [ 67]. The PC exits each mill via the coal piping and is distributed to the coal nozzles in the furnace walls using air supplied by the PA fans.
Ash Removal The furnace bottom comprises several hoppers, with a clinker grinder under each hopper. The hoppers are of welded steel construction, lined with refractory. The hopper design incorporates a water-filled seal trough around the upper periphery for cooling and sealing. Water and ash discharged from the hopper pass through the clinker grinder to an ash sluice system for conveyance to hydrobins, where the ash is dewatered before it is transferred to trucks for offsite disposal. The description of the balance of the bottom ash handling system is presented in Section 4.1.9. The steam generator incorporates fly ash hoppers under the economizer outlet and air heater outlet.
Burners A boiler of this capacity employs approximately 24 to 36 coal nozzles arranged at multiple elevations. Each burner is designed as a low-NOx configuration, with staging of the coal combustion to minimize NOx formation. In addition, OFA nozzles are provided to further stage combustion and thereby minimize NOx formation.
308
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Oil-fired pilot torches are provided for each coal burner for ignition, warm-up and flame stabilization at startup and low loads.
Air Preheaters Each steam generator is furnished with two vertical-shaft Ljungstrom regenerative type air preheaters. These units are driven by electric motors through gear reducers.
Soot Blowers The soot-blowing system utilizes an array of 50 to 150 retractable nozzles and lances that clean the furnace walls and convection surfaces with jets of HP steam. The blowers are sequenced to provide an effective cleaning cycle depending on the coal quality and design of the furnace and convection surfaces. Electric motors drive the soot blowers through their cycles.
4.1.3 NOx Control System The plant is designed to achieve the environmental target of 0.07 lb NOx/MMBtu. Two measures are taken to reduce the NOx. The first is a combination of LNBs and the introduction of staged OFA in the boiler. The LNBs and OFA reduce the emissions to about 0.5 lb/MMBtu.
The second measure taken to reduce the NOx emissions is the installation of an SCR system prior to the air heater. SCR uses ammonia and a catalyst to reduce NOx to N2 and H2O. The SCR system consists of three subsystems: reactor vessel, ammonia storage and injection, and gas flow control. The SCR system is designed for 86 percent reduction with 2 ppmv ammonia slip at the end of the catalyst life. This, along with the LNBs, achieves the emission limit of 0.07 lb/MMBtu.
The SCR capital costs are included with the boiler costs, as is the cost for the initial load of catalyst.
Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) was considered for this application. However, with the installation of the LNBs and OFA system, the boiler exhaust gas contains relatively small amounts of NOx, which makes removal of the quantity of NOx with SNCR to reach the emissions limit of 0.07 lb/MMBtu difficult. SNCR works better in applications that contain medium to high quantities of NOx and require removal efficiencies in the range of 40 to 60 percent. SCR, because of the catalyst used in the reaction, can achieve higher efficiencies with lower concentrations of NOx.
SCR Operation Description The reactor vessel is designed to allow proper retention time for the ammonia to contact the NOx in the boiler exhaust gas. Ammonia is injected into the gas immediately prior to entering the reactor vessel. The catalyst contained in the reactor vessel enhances the reaction between the ammonia and the NOx in the gas. Catalysts consist of various active materials such as titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and tungsten trioxide. The operating range for vanadium/titanium-based catalysts is 260°C (500°F) to 455°C (850°F). The boiler is equipped with economizer bypass to provide FG to the reactors at the desired temperature during periods of low flow rate, such as low load operation. Also included with the reactor vessel is soot-blowing equipment used for cleaning the catalyst.
The ammonia storage and injection system consists of the unloading facilities, bulk storage tank, vaporizers, dilution air skid, and injection grid.
309
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The FG flow control consists of ductwork, dampers, and flow straightening devices required to route the boiler exhaust to the SCR reactor and then to the air heater. The economizer bypass and associated dampers for low load temperature control are also included.
4.1.4 Particulate Control The fabric filter (or baghouse) consists of two separate single-stage, in-line, multi-compartment units. Each unit is of high (0.9-1.5 m/min [3-5 ft/min]) air-to-cloth ratio design with a pulse-jet on-line cleaning system. The ash is collected on the outside of the bags, which are supported by steel cages. The dust cake is removed by a pulse of compressed air. The bag material is polyphenylensulfide (PPS) with intrinsic Teflon Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating [ 68].
The bags are rated for a continuous temperature of 180°C (356°F) and a peak temperature of 210°C (410°F). Each compartment contains a number of gas passages with filter bags, and heated ash hoppers supported by a rigid steel casing. The fabric filter is provided with necessary control devices, inlet gas distribution devices, insulators, inlet and outlet nozzles, expansion joints, and other items as required.
4.1.5 Mercury Removal Mercury removal is based on a coal Hg content of 0.15 ppmd. The basis for the coal Hg concentration was discussed in Section 2.4. The combination of pollution control technologies used in the PC plants, SCR, fabric filters and FGD, result in significant co-benefit capture of mercury. The SCR promotes the oxidation of elemental mercury, which in turn enhances the mercury removal capability of the fabric filter and FGD unit. The mercury co-benefit capture is assumed to be 90 percent for this combination of control technologies as described in Section 2.4. Co-benefit capture alone is sufficient to meet current NSPS mercury limits so no activated carbon injection is included in the PC cases.
4.1.6 Flue Gas Desulfurization The FGD system is a wet limestone forced oxidation positive pressure absorber non-reheat unit, with wet-stack, and gypsum production. The function of the FGD system is to scrub the boiler exhaust gases to remove the SO2 prior to release to the environment, or entering into the Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) facility. Sulfur removal efficiency is 98 percent in the FGD unit for all cases. For Cases 10 and 12 with CO2 capture, the SO2 content of the scrubbed gases must be further reduced to approximately 10 ppmv to minimize formation of amine heat stable salts (HSS) during the CO2 absorption process. The CDR unit includes a polishing scrubber to reduce the FG SO2 concentration from about 44 ppmv at the FGD exit to the required 10 ppmv prior to the CDR absorber. The scope of the FGD system is from the outlet of the ID fans to the stack inlet (Cases 9 and 11) or to the CDR process inlet (Cases 10 and 12). The system description is divided into three sections:
- Limestone Handling and Reagent Preparation
- FGD Scrubber
- Byproduct Dewatering 310
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Reagent Preparation System The function of the limestone reagent preparation system is to grind and slurry the limestone delivered to the plant. The scope of the system is from the day bin up to the limestone feed system. The system is designed to support continuous base load operation.
Operation Description - Each day bin supplies a 100 percent capacity ball mill via a weigh feeder. The wet ball mill accepts the limestone and grinds the limestone to 90 to 95 percent passing 325 mesh (44 microns). Water is added at the inlet to the ball mill to create limestone slurry. The reduced limestone slurry is then discharged into a mill slurry tank. Mill recycle pumps, two per tank, pump the limestone water slurry to an assembly of hydrocyclones and distribution boxes. The slurry is classified into several streams, based on suspended solids content and size distribution.
The hydrocyclone underflow with oversized limestone is directed back to the mill for further grinding. The hydrocyclone overflow with correctly sized limestone is routed to a reagent storage tank. Reagent distribution pumps direct slurry from the tank to the absorber module.
FGD Scrubber The FG exiting the air preheater section of the boiler passes through one of two parallel fabric filter units, then through the ID fans and into the one 100 percent capacity absorber module. The absorber module is designed to operate with counter-current flow of gas and reagent. Upon entering the bottom of the absorber vessel, the gas stream is subjected to an initial quenching spray of reagent. The gas flows upward through the spray zone, which provides enhanced contact between gas and reagent. Multiple spray elevations with header piping and nozzles maintain a consistent reagent concentration in the spray zone. Continuing upward, the reagent-laden gas passes through several levels of moisture separators. These consist of chevron-shaped vanes that direct the gas flow through several abrupt changes in direction, separating the entrained droplets of liquid by inertial effects. The scrubbed FG exits at the top of the absorber vessel and is routed to the plant stack or CDR process.
The scrubbing slurry falls to the lower portion of the absorber vessel, which contains a large inventory of liquid. Oxidation air is added to promote the oxidation of calcium sulfite contained in the slurry to calcium sulfate (gypsum). Multiple agitators operate continuously to prevent settling of solids and enhance mixture of the oxidation air and the slurry. Recirculation pumps recirculate the slurry from the lower portion of the absorber vessel to the spray level. Spare recirculation pumps are provided to ensure availability of the absorber.
The absorber chemical equilibrium is maintained by continuous makeup of fresh reagent, and blowdown of byproduct solids via the bleed pumps. A spare bleed pump is provided to ensure availability of the absorber. The byproduct solids are routed to the byproduct dewatering system.
The circulating slurry is monitored for pH and density.
This FGD system is designed for wet stack operation. Scrubber bypass or reheat, which may be utilized at some older facilities to ensure the exhaust gas temperature is above the saturation temperature, is not employed in this reference plant design because new scrubbers have improved mist eliminator efficiency, and detailed flow modeling of the flue interior enables the placement of gutters and drains to intercept moisture that may be present and convey it to a drain. Consequently, raising the exhaust gas temperature above the FGD discharge temperature of 57°C (135°F) (non-CO2 capture cases) or 32°C (89°F) (CO2 capture cases) is not necessary.
311
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Byproduct Dewatering The function of the byproduct dewatering system is to dewater the bleed slurry from the FGD absorber modules. The dewatering process selected for this plant is gypsum dewatering producing wallboard grade gypsum. The scope of the system is from the bleed pump discharge connections to the gypsum storage pile.
Operation Description - The recirculating reagent in the FGD absorber vessel accumulates dissolved and suspended solids on a continuous basis as byproducts from the SO2 absorption process. Maintenance of the quality of the recirculating slurry requires that a portion be withdrawn and replaced by fresh reagent. This is accomplished on a continuous basis by the bleed pumps pulling off byproduct solids and the reagent distribution pumps supplying fresh reagent to the absorber.
Gypsum (calcium sulfate) is produced by the injection of oxygen into the calcium sulfite produced in the absorber tower sump. The bleed from the absorber contains approximately 20 wt% gypsum. The absorber slurry is pumped by an absorber bleed pump to a primary dewatering hydrocyclone cluster. The primary hydrocyclone performs two process functions.
The first function is to dewater the slurry from 20 wt% to 50 wt% solids. The second function of the primary hydrocyclone is to perform a CaCO3 and CaSO4*2H2O separation. This process ensures a limestone stoichiometry in the absorber vessel of 1.10 and an overall limestone stoichiometry of 1.05. This system reduces the overall operating cost of the FGD system. The underflow from the hydrocyclone flows into the filter feed tank, from which it is pumped to a horizontal belt vacuum filter. Two 100 percent filter systems are provided for redundant capacity.
Hydrocyclones The hydrocyclone is a simple and reliable device (no moving parts) designed to increase the slurry concentration in one step to approximately 50 wt%. This high slurry concentration is necessary to optimize operation of the vacuum belt filter.
The hydrocyclone feed enters tangentially and experiences centrifugal motion so that the heavy particles move toward the wall and flow out the bottom. Some of the lighter particles collect at the center of the cyclone and flow out the top. The underflow is thus concentrated from 20 wt%
at the feed to 50 wt%.
Multiple hydrocyclones are used to process the bleed stream from the absorber. The hydrocyclones are configured in a cluster with a common feed header. The system has two hydrocyclone clusters, each with five 15 cm (6 inch) diameter units. Four cyclones are used to continuously process the bleed stream at design conditions, and one cyclone is spare.
Cyclone overflow and underflow are collected in separate launders. The overflow from the hydrocyclones still contains about 5 wt% solids, consisting of gypsum, fly ash, and limestone residues and is sent back to the absorber. The underflow of the hydrocyclones flows into the filter feed tank from where it is pumped to the horizontal belt vacuum filters.
Horizontal Vacuum Belt Filters The secondary dewatering system consists of horizontal vacuum belt filters. The pre-concentrated gypsum slurry (50 wt%) is pumped to an overflow pan through which the slurry flows onto the vacuum belt. As the vacuum is pulled, a layer of cake is formed. The cake is 312
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants dewatered to approximately 90 wt% solids as the belt travels to the discharge. At the discharge end of the filter, the filter cloth is turned over a roller where the solids are dislodged from the filter cloth. This cake falls through a chute onto the pile prior to the final byproduct uses. The required vacuum is provided by a vacuum pump. The filtrate is collected in a filtrate tank that provides surge volume for use of the filtrate in grinding the limestone. Filtrate that is not used for limestone slurry preparation is returned to the absorber.
4.1.7 Carbon Dioxide Recovery Facility A Carbon Dioxide Recovery (CDR) facility is used in Cases 10 and 12 to remove 90 percent of the CO2 in the flue gas exiting the FGD unit, purify it, and compress it to a SC condition. The flue gas exiting the FGD unit contains about 1 percent more CO2 than the raw flue gas because of the CO2 liberated from the limestone in the FGD absorber vessel. The CDR is comprised of the flue gas supply, SO2 polishing, CO2 absorption, solvent stripping and reclaiming, and CO2 compression and drying.
The CO2 absorption/stripping/solvent reclaim process for Cases 10 and 12 is based on the Fluor Econamine FG PlusSM technology [69, 70]. A typical flowsheet is shown in Exhibit 4-1. The Econamine FG Plus process uses a formulation of MEA and a proprietary corrosion inhibitor to recover CO2 from the flue gas. This process is designed to recover high-purity CO2 from LP streams that contain oxygen, such as flue gas from coal-fired power plants, GT exhaust gas, and other waste gases. The Econamine process used in this study differs from previous studies, including the 2003 IEA study, [71] in the following ways:
- The complexity of the control and operation of the plant is significantly decreased
- Solvent consumption is decreased
- Hard to dispose waste from the plant is greatly reduced The above are achieved at the expense of a slightly higher steam requirement in the stripper (3,556 kJ/kg) [1,530 Btu/lb] versus 3,242 kJ/kg [1,395 Btu/lb] used in the IEA study) [72].
313
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Exhibit 4-1 Fluor Econamine FG PlusSM Typical Flow Diagram 314
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants SO2 Polishing and FG Cooling and Supply To minimize the accumulation of HSS, the incoming flue gas must have an SO2 concentration of 10 ppmv or less. The gas exiting the FGD system passes through an SO2 polishing step to achieve this objective. The polishing step consists of a non-plugging, low-differential-pressure, spray-baffle-type scrubber using a 20 wt% solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). A removal efficiency of about 75 percent is necessary to reduce SO2 emissions from the FGD outlet to 10 ppmv as required by the Econamine process. The polishing scrubber proposed for this application has been demonstrated in numerous industrial applications throughout the world and can achieve removal efficiencies of over 95 percent if necessary.
The polishing scrubber also serves as the flue gas cooling system. Cooling water from the PC plant is used to reduce the flue gas temperature to below the adiabatic saturation temperature resulting in a reduction of the flue gas moisture content. Flue gas is cooled beyond the CO2 absorption process requirements to 32°C (90°F) to account for the subsequent temperature increase of about 17°C (30°F) in the flue gas blower. Downstream from the Polishing Scrubber flue gas pressure is boosted in the FG Blowers by approximately 0.014 MPa (2 psi) to overcome pressure drop in the CO2 absorber tower.
Circulating Water System Cooling water is provided from the PC plant CWS and returned to the PC plant cooling tower.
The CDR facility requires a significant amount of cooling water for flue gas cooling, water wash cooling, absorber intercooling, reflux condenser duty, reclaimer cooling, the lean solvent cooler, and CO2 compression interstage cooling. The cooling water requirements for the CDR facility in the two PC capture cases range from 1,173,350-1,286,900 lpm (310,000-340,000 gpm), which greatly exceeds the PC plant cooling water requirement of 643,450-757,000 lpm (170,000-200,000 gpm).
CO2 Absorption Section The cooled flue gas enters the bottom of the CO2 Absorber and flows up through the tower countercurrent to a stream of lean MEA-based solvent. Approximately 90 percent of the CO2 in the feed gas is absorbed into the lean solvent, and the rest leaves the top of the absorber section and flows into the water wash section of the tower. The lean solvent enters the top of the absorber section, absorbs the CO2 from the FG and leaves the bottom of the absorber with the absorbed CO2. The FG Plus process also includes solvent intercooling. The semi-rich solvent is extracted from the column, cooled using cooling water, and returned to the absorber section just below the extraction point. The CO2 carrying capacity of the solvent is increased at lower temperature, which reduces the solvent circulation rate.
Water Wash Section The purpose of the Water Wash section is to minimize solvent losses due to mechanical entrainment and evaporation. The flue gas from the top of the CO2 Absorption section is contacted with a re-circulating stream of water for the removal of most of the lean solvent. The scrubbed gases, along with unrecovered solvent, exit the top of the wash section for discharge to the atmosphere via the vent stack. The water stream from the bottom of the wash section is collected on a chimney tray. A portion of the water collected on the chimney tray spills over to 315
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants the absorber section as water makeup for the amine with the remainder pumped via the Wash Water Pump, cooled by the Water Wash Cooler, and recirculated to the top of the CO2 Absorber.
The wash water level is maintained by wash water makeup.
Rich/Lean Amine Heat Exchange System The rich solvent from the bottom of the CO2 Absorber is preheated by the lean solvent from the Solvent Stripper in the Lean/Rich Cross Exchanger. The heated rich solvent is routed to the Solvent Stripper for removal of the absorbed CO2. The stripped solvent from the bottom of the Solvent Stripper is pumped via the Lean Solvent Pump to the Lean Solvent Cooler. A slipstream of the lean solvent is then sent through the Amine Filter Package to prevent buildup of contaminants in the solution. The filtered lean solvent is mixed with the remaining lean solvent from the Lean Solvent Cooler and sent to the CO2 Absorber, completing the circulating solvent circuit.
Solvent Stripper The purpose of the Solvent Stripper is to separate the CO2 from the rich solvent feed exiting the bottom of the CO2 Absorber. The rich solvent is collected on a chimney tray below the bottom packed section of the Stripper and routed to the Reboiler where the rich solvent is heated by steam, stripping the CO2 from the solution. Steam is provided from the crossover pipe between the IP and LP sections of the steam turbine and is 0.5 MPa (74 psia) and 152°C (306°F) for the two PC cases. The hot wet vapor from the top of the stripper containing CO2, steam, and solvent vapor, is partially condensed in the Reflux Condenser by cross exchanging the hot wet vapor with cooling water. The partially condensed stream then flows to the Reflux Drum where the vapor and liquid are separated. The uncondensed CO2-rich gas is then delivered to the CO2 product compressor. The condensed liquid from the Reflux Drum is pumped via the Reflux Pump where a portion of condensed overhead liquid is combined with the lean solvent entering the CO2 Absorber. The rest of the pumped liquid is routed back to the Solvent Stripper as reflux, which aids in limiting the amount of solvent vapors entering the stripper overhead system.
Solvent Reclaimer The low temperature reclaimer technology is a recent development for the FG Plus technology.
A small slipstream of the lean solvent is fed to the Solvent Reclaimer for the removal of high-boiling nonvolatile impurities including HSS, volatile acids and iron products from the circulating solvent solution. Reclaiming occurs in two steps, the first is an ion-exchange process.
There is a small amount of degradation products that cannot be removed via ion-exchange, and a second atmospheric pressure reclaiming process is used to remove the degradation products. The solvent reclaimer system reduces corrosion, foaming and fouling in the solvent system. The reclaimed solvent is returned to the Solvent Stripper and the spent solvent is pumped via the Solvent Reclaimer Drain Pump to the Solvent Reclaimer Drain Tank for disposal. The quantity of spent solvent is greatly reduced from the previously used thermal reclaimer systems.
Steam Condensate Steam condensate from the Solvent Stripper Reclaimer accumulates in the Solvent Reclaimer Condensate Drum and is level controlled to the Solvent Reboiler Condensate Drum. Steam condensate from the Solvent Stripper Reboilers is also collected in the Solvent Reboiler 316
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Condensate Drum and returned to the steam cycle between BFW heaters 4 and 5 via the Solvent Reboiler Condensate Pumps.
Corrosion Inhibitor System A proprietary corrosion inhibitor is intermittently injected into the CO2 Absorber rich solvent bottoms outlet line. This additive is to help control the rate of corrosion throughout the CO2 recovery plant system.
Gas Compression and Drying System In the compression section, the CO2 is compressed to 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia) by a six-stage centrifugal compressor. The discharge pressures of the stages were balanced to give reasonable power distribution and discharge temperatures across the various stages as shown in Exhibit 4-2.
Exhibit 4-2 CO2 Compressor Interstage Pressures Outlet Pressure, Stage MPa (psia) 1 0.36 (52) 2 0.78 (113) 3 1.71 (248) 4 3.76 (545) 5 8.27 (1,200) 6 15.3 (2,215)
Power consumption for this large compressor was estimated assuming a polytropic efficiency of 86 percent and a mechanical efficiency of 98 percent for all stages. During compression to 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia) in the multiple-stage, intercooled compressor, the CO2 stream is dehydrated to a dewpoint of -40ºC (-40°F) with triethylene glycol. The virtually moisture-free SC CO2 stream is delivered to the plant battery limit as sequestration ready. CO2 TS&M costs were estimated and included in LCOE and COE using the methodology described in Section 2.7.
Several alternatives to rejecting the heat of CO2 compression to cooling water were investigated in a separate study [73]. The first alternative consisted of using a portion of the heat to pre-heat BFW while the remaining heat was still rejected to cooling water. This configuration resulted in an increase in efficiency of 0.3 percentage points (absolute). The second alternative modified the CO2 compression intercooling configuration to enable integration into a LiBr-H2O absorption refrigeration system, where water is the refrigerant. In the CO2 compression section, the single intercooler between each compression stage was replaced with one kettle reboiler and two counter current shell and tube heat exchangers. The kettle reboiler acts as the generator that rejects heat from CO2 compression to the LiBr-H2O solution to enable the separation of the refrigerant from the brine solution. The second heat exchanger rejects heat to the cooling water.
The evaporator heat exchanger acts as the refrigerator and cools the CO2 compression stream by vaporizing the refrigerant. Only five stages of CO2 compression were necessary for Approach 2.
The compression ratios were increased from the reference cases to create a compressor outlet 317
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants temperature of at least 200°F to maintain a temperature gradient of 10°F in the kettle reboiler.
This configuration resulted in an efficiency increase of 0.1 percentage points (absolute).
It was concluded that the small increase in efficiency did not justify the added cost and complexity of the two configurations and hence they were not incorporated into the base design.
4.1.8 Power Generation The steam turbine is designed for long-term operation (90 days or more) at MCR with throttle control valves 95 percent open. It is also capable of a short-term 5 percent OP/VWO condition (16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />).
For the subcritical cases, the steam turbine is a tandem compound type, consisting of HP-IP-two LP (double flow) sections enclosed in three casings, designed for condensing single reheat operation, and equipped with non-automatic extractions and four-flow exhaust. The turbine drives a hydrogen-cooled generator. The turbine has DC motor-operated lube oil pumps, and main lube oil pumps, which are driven off the turbine shaft [74]. The exhaust pressure is 50.8 cm (2 in) Hg in the single pressure condenser. There are seven extraction points. The condenser is two-shell, transverse, single pressure with divided waterbox for each shell.
The steam-turbine generator systems for the SC plants are similar in design to the subcritical systems. The differences include steam cycle conditions and eight extractions points versus seven for the subcritical design.
Turbine bearings are lubricated by a closed-loop, water-cooled pressurized oil system. Turbine shafts are sealed against air in-leakage or steam blowout using a labyrinth gland arrangement connected to a LP steam seal system. The generator stator is cooled with a CL water system consisting of circulating pumps, shell and tube or plate and frame type heat exchangers, filters, and deionizers, all skid-mounted. The generator rotor is cooled with a hydrogen gas recirculation system using fans mounted on the generator rotor shaft.
Operation Description - The turbine stop valves, control valves, reheat stop valves, and intercept valves are controlled by an electro-hydraulic control system. Main steam from the boiler passes through the stop valves and control valves and enters the turbine at 16.5 MPa/566°C (2,400 psig/1,050ºF) for the subcritical cases and 24.1MPa /593°C (3,500psig/1,100°F) for the SC cases. The steam initially enters the turbine near the middle of the HP span, flows through the turbine, and returns to the boiler for reheating. The reheat steam flows through the reheat stop valves and intercept valves and enters the IP section at 566°C (1,050ºF) in the subcritical cases and 593°C (1,100°F) in the SC cases. After passing through the IP section, the steam enters a crossover pipe, which transports the steam to the two LP sections.
The steam divides into four paths and flows through the LP sections exhausting downward into the condenser.
The turbine is designed to operate at constant inlet steam pressure over the entire load range.
4.1.9 Balance of Plant The balance of plant components consist of the condensate, FW, main and reheat steam, extraction steam, ash handling, ducting and stack, waste treatment and miscellaneous systems as described below.
318
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Condensate The function of the condensate system is to pump condensate from the condenser hotwell to the deaerator, through the gland steam condenser and the LP FW heaters. Each system consists of one main condenser; two variable speed electric motor-driven vertical condensate pumps each sized for 50 percent capacity; one gland steam condenser; four LP heaters; and one deaerator with storage tank.
Condensate is delivered to a common discharge header through two separate pump discharge lines, each with a check valve and a gate valve. A common minimum flow recirculation line discharging to the condenser is provided downstream of the gland steam condenser to maintain minimum flow requirements for the gland steam condenser and the condensate pumps.
LP FW heaters 1 through 4 are 50 percent capacity, parallel flow, and are located in the condenser neck. All remaining FW heaters are 100 percent capacity shell and U-tube heat exchangers. Each LP FW heater is provided with inlet/outlet isolation valves and a full capacity bypass. LP FW heater drains cascade down to the next lowest extraction pressure heater and finally discharge into the condenser. Pneumatic level control valves control normal drain levels in the heaters. High heater level dump lines discharging to the condenser are provided for each heater for turbine water induction protection. Pneumatic level control valves control dump line flow.
Feedwater The function of the FW system is to pump the FW from the deaerator storage tank through the HP FW heaters to the economizer. One turbine-driven BFW pump sized at 100 percent capacity is provided to pump FW through the HP FW heaters. One 25 percent motor-driven BFW pump is provided for startup. The pumps are provided with inlet and outlet isolation valves, and individual minimum flow recirculation lines discharging back to the deaerator storage tank. The recirculation flow is controlled by automatic recirculation valves, which are a combination check valve in the main line and in the bypass, bypass control valve, and flow sensing element. The suction of the boiler feed pump is equipped with startup strainers, which are utilized during initial startup and following major outages or system maintenance.
Each HP FW heater is provided with inlet/outlet isolation valves and a full capacity bypass. FW heater drains cascade down to the next lowest extraction pressure heater and finally discharge into the deaerator. Pneumatic level control valves control normal drain level in the heaters.
High heater level dump lines discharging to the condenser are provided for each heater for turbine water induction protection. Dump line flow is controlled by pneumatic level control valves.
The deaerator is a horizontal, spray tray type with internal direct contact stainless steel (SS) vent condenser and storage tank. The boiler feed pump turbine is driven by main steam up to 60 percent plant load. Above 60 percent load, extraction from the IP turbine exhaust (1.05 MPa/395°C [153 psig/743°F]) provides steam to the boiler feed pump steam turbine.
Main and Reheat Steam The function of the main steam system is to convey main steam from the boiler superheater outlet to the HP turbine stop valves. The function of the reheat system is to convey steam from the HP turbine exhaust to the boiler reheater and from the boiler reheater outlet to the IP turbine stop valves.
319
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Main steam exits the boiler superheater through a motor-operated stop/check valve and a motor-operated gate valve and is routed in a single line feeding the HP turbine. A branch line off the IP turbine exhaust feeds the boiler feed water pump turbine during unit operation starting at approximately 60 percent load.
Cold reheat steam exits the HP turbine, flows through a motor-operated isolation gate valve and a flow control valve, and enters the boiler reheater. Hot reheat steam exits the boiler reheater through a motor-operated gate valve and is routed to the IP turbine. A branch connection from the cold reheat piping supplies steam to FW heater 7.
Extraction Steam The function of the extraction steam system is to convey steam from turbine extraction points through the following routes:
From HP turbine exhaust (cold reheat) to heater 7 From IP turbine extraction to heater 6 and the deaerator (heater 5)
From LP turbine extraction to heaters 1, 2, 3, and 4 The turbine is protected from overspeed on turbine trip, from flash steam reverse flow from the heaters through the extraction piping to the turbine. This protection is provided by positive closing, balanced disc non-return valves located in all extraction lines except the lines to the LP FW heaters in the condenser neck. The extraction non-return valves are located only in horizontal runs of piping and as close to the turbine as possible.
The turbine trip signal automatically trips the non-return valves through relay dumps. The remote manual control for each heater level control system is used to release the non-return valves to normal check valve service when required to restart the system.
Circulating Water System It is assumed that the plant is serviced by a public water facility and has access to groundwater for use as makeup cooling water with minimal pretreatment. All filtration and treatment of the circulating water are conducted on site. A mechanical draft, wood frame, counter-flow cooling tower is provided for the circulating water heat sink. Two 50 percent CWPs are provided. The CWS provides cooling water to the condenser, the auxiliary cooling water system, and the CDR facility in capture cases.
The auxiliary cooling water system is a CL system. Plate and frame heat exchangers with circulating water as the cooling medium are provided. This system provides cooling water to the lube oil coolers, turbine generator, boiler feed pumps, etc. All pumps, vacuum breakers, air release valves, instruments, controls, etc. are included for a complete operable system.
The CDR system in Cases 10 and 12 requires a substantial amount of cooling water that is provided by the PC plant CWS. The additional cooling load imposed by the CDR is reflected in the significantly larger CWPs and cooling tower in those cases.
Ash Handling System The function of the ash handling system is to provide the equipment required for conveying, preparing, storing, and disposing of the fly ash and bottom ash produced on a daily basis by the boiler. The scope of the system is from the baghouse hoppers, air heater and economizer hopper 320
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants collectors, and bottom ash hoppers to the hydrobins (for bottom ash) and truck filling stations (for fly ash). The system is designed to support short-term operation at the 5 percent OP/VWO condition (16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />) and long-term operation at the 100 percent guarantee point (90 days or more).
The fly ash collected in the baghouse and the air heaters is conveyed to the fly ash storage silo.
A pneumatic transport system using LP air from a blower provides the transport mechanism for the fly ash. Fly ash is discharged through a wet unloader, which conditions the fly ash and conveys it through a telescopic unloading chute into a truck for disposal.
The bottom ash from the boiler is fed into a clinker grinder. The clinker grinder is provided to break up any clinkers that may form. From the clinker grinders the bottom ash is sluiced to hydrobins for dewatering and offsite removal by truck.
Ash from the economizer hoppers and pyrites (rejected from the coal pulverizers) is conveyed using water to the economizer/pyrites transfer tank. This material is then sluiced on a periodic basis to the hydrobins.
Ducting and Stack One stack is provided with a single fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) liner. The stack is constructed of reinforced concrete. The stack is 152 m (500 ft) high for adequate particulate dispersion.
Waste Treatment/Miscellaneous Systems An onsite water treatment facility treats all runoff, cleaning wastes, blowdown, and backwash to within the U.S. EPA standards for suspended solids, oil and grease, pH, and miscellaneous metals. Waste treatment equipment is housed in a separate building. The waste treatment system consists of a water collection basin, three raw waste pumps, an acid neutralization system, an oxidation system, flocculation, clarification/thickening, and sludge dewatering. The water collection basin is a synthetic-membrane-lined earthen basin, which collects rainfall runoff, maintenance cleaning wastes, and backwash flows.
The raw waste is pumped to the treatment system at a controlled rate by the raw waste pumps.
The neutralization system neutralizes the acidic wastewater with hydrated lime in a two-stage system, consisting of a lime storage silo/lime slurry makeup system, dry lime feeder, lime slurry tank, slurry tank mixer, and lime slurry feed pumps.
The oxidation system consists of an air compressor, which injects air through a sparger pipe into the second-stage neutralization tank. The flocculation tank is fiberglass with a variable speed agitator. A polymer dilution and feed system is also provided for flocculation. The clarifier is a plate-type, with the sludge pumped to the dewatering system. The sludge is dewatered in filter presses and disposed offsite. Trucking and disposal costs are included in the cost estimate. The filtrate from the sludge dewatering is returned to the raw waste sump.
Miscellaneous systems consisting of fuel oil, service air, instrument air, and service water are provided. A storage tank provides a supply of No. 2 fuel oil used for startup and for a small auxiliary boiler. Fuel oil is delivered by truck. All truck roadways and unloading stations inside the fence area are provided.

It also includes the main power transformer, required foundations, and standby equipment.
4.1.11 Instrumentation and Control An integrated plant-wide control and monitoring DCS is provided. The DCS is a redundant microprocessor-based, functionally distributed system. The control room houses an array of multiple video monitor and keyboard units. The monitor/keyboard units are the primary interface between the generating process and operations personnel. The DCS incorporates plant monitoring and control functions for all the major plant equipment. The DCS is designed to provide 99.5 percent availability. The plant equipment and the DCS are designed for automatic response to load changes from minimum load to 100 percent. Startup and shutdown routines are implemented as supervised manual, with operator selection of modular automation routines available.
4.2 SUBCRITICAL PC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 9 and 10, which are based on a subcritical PC plant with a nominal net output of 550 MWe. Both plants use a single reheat 16.5 MPa/566°C/566°C (2400 psig/1050°F/1050°F) cycle. The only difference between the two plants is that Case 10 includes CO2 capture while Case 9 does not.
The balance of Section 4.2 is organized as follows:
- Process and System Description provides an overview of the technology operation as applied to Case 9. The systems that are common to all PC cases were covered in Section 4.1 and only features that are unique to Case 9 are discussed further in this section.
- Key Assumptions is a summary of study and modeling assumptions relevant to Cases 9 and 10.
- Sparing Philosophy is provided for both Cases 9 and 10.

- Performance Results provides the main modeling results from Case 9, including the performance summary, environmental performance, carbon/sulfur balances, water balance, mass and energy balance diagrams and energy balance table.
- Equipment List provides an itemized list of major equipment for Case 9 with account codes that correspond to the cost accounts in the Cost Estimates section.
- Cost Estimates provides a summary of capital and operating costs for Case 9.
- Process and System Description, Performance Results, Equipment List and Cost Estimates are discussed for Case 10.
4.2.1 Process Description In this section the subcritical PC process without CO2 capture is described. The system description follows the BFD in Exhibit 4-3 and stream numbers reference the same Exhibit. The tables in Exhibit 4-4 provide process data for the numbered streams in the BFD.
Coal (stream 8) and PA (stream 4) are introduced into the boiler through the wall-fired burners.
Additional combustion air, including the OFA, is provided by the FD fans (stream 1). The boiler operates at a slight negative pressure so air leakage is into the boiler, and the infiltration air is accounted for in stream 7. Streams 3 and 6 show Ljungstrom air preheater leakages from the FD and PA fan outlet streams to the boiler exhaust.
FG exits the boiler through the SCR reactor (stream 10) and is cooled to 169°C (337°F) in the combustion air preheater before passing through a fabric filter for particulate removal (stream 12). An ID fan increases the FG temperature to 181°C (357°F) and provides the motive force for the FG (stream 13) to pass through the FGD unit. FGD inputs and outputs include makeup water (stream 15), oxidation air (stream 16), limestone slurry (stream 14) and product gypsum (stream 17). The clean, saturated FG exiting the FGD unit (stream 18) passes to the plant stack and is discharged to atmosphere.

Makeup for potable, process, and DI water is drawn from municipal sources.
Process Wastewater Storm water that contacts equipment surfaces is collected and treated for discharge through a permitted discharge.
Sanitary Waste Disposal Design includes a packaged domestic sewage treatment plant with effluent discharged to the industrial wastewater treatment system. Sludge is hauled off site. Packaged plant is sized for 5.68 cubic meters per day (1,500 gallons per day)
Water Discharge Most of the process wastewater is recycled to the cooling tower basin. Blowdown will be treated for chloride and metals, and discharged.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.2.3 Sparing Philosophy Single trains are used throughout the design with exceptions where equipment capacity requires an additional train. There is no redundancy other than normal sparing of rotating equipment.
The plant design consists of the following major subsystems:
- One dry-bottom, wall-fired PC subcritical boiler (1 x 100%)
- Two SCR reactors (2 x 50%)
- Two single-stage, in-line, multi-compartment fabric filters (2 x 50%)
- One wet limestone forced oxidation positive pressure absorber (1 x 100%)
- One steam turbine (1 x 100%)
- For Case 10 only, two parallel Econamine CO2 absorption systems, with each system consisting of two absorbers, strippers and ancillary equipment (2 x 50%)
4.2.4 Case 9 Performance Results The plant produces a net output of 550 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 36.8 percent (HHV basis). Overall performance for the plant is summarized in Exhibit 4-7, which includes auxiliary power requirements.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Environmental Performance The environmental targets for emissions of Hg, NOx, SO2, and PM were presented in Section 2.4. A summary of the plant air emissions for Case 9 is presented in Exhibit 4-8.

(3,866,472)
CO21 856 (1,888) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power SO2 emissions are controlled using a wet limestone forced oxidation scrubber that achieves a removal efficiency of 98 percent. The byproduct calcium sulfate is dewatered and stored on site.
The wallboard grade material can potentially be marketed and sold, but since it is highly dependent on local market conditions, no byproduct credit was taken. The saturated FG exiting the scrubber is vented through the plant stack.
NOx emissions are controlled to about 0.5 lb/106 Btu through the use of LNBs and OFA. An SCR unit then further reduces the NOx concentration by 86 percent to 0.07 lb/106 Btu.
Particulate emissions are controlled using a pulse jet fabric filter, which operates at an efficiency of 99.8 percent.
Co-benefit capture results in a 90 percent reduction of mercury emissions.
CO2 emissions represent the uncontrolled discharge from the process.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 4-9. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the coal, carbon in the air, and carbon in the limestone reagent used in the FGD.
Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant mostly as CO2 through the stack but also leaves as gypsum.

Exhibit 4-11 shows the water balance for Case 9. Water demand represents the total amount of water required for a particular process. Some water is recovered within the process and is re-used as internal recycle. The difference between demand and recycle is raw water withdrawal.
Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant and was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal can be represented by the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as FDG makeup, BFW makeup, and cooling tower makeup. The difference between water withdrawal and process water discharge is defined as water consumption and can be represented by the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source from which it was withdrawn. Water consumption represents the net impact of the plant process on the water source.

Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams A heat and mass balance diagram is shown for the Case 9 PC boiler, the FGD unit, and steam cycle as shown in Exhibit 4-12 and Exhibit 4-13.
An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 4-14. The power out is the steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 4-7) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a generator efficiency of 98.6 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.2.6 Case 9 - Cost Estimating The cost estimating methodology was described previously in Section 2.6. Exhibit 4-15 shows the total plant capital cost summary organized by cost account and Exhibit 4-16 shows a more detailed breakdown of the capital costs along with owners costs, TOC and TASC. Exhibit 4-17 shows the initial and annual O&M costs.
The estimated TOC of the subcritical PC boiler with no CO2 capture is $1,996/kW. No process contingency is included in this case because all elements of the technology are commercially proven. The project contingency is 9.1 percent of the TOC. The COE is 59.4 mills/kWh.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.2.7 Case 10 - PC Subcritical Unit with CO2 Capture The plant configuration for Case 10, subcritical PC, is the same as Case 9 with the exception that the Econamine technology was added for CO2 capture. The nominal net output was maintained at 550 MW by increasing the boiler size and turbine/generator size to account for the greater auxiliary load imposed by the CDR facility. Unlike the IGCC cases where gross output was fixed by the available size of the CTs, the PC cases utilize boilers and steam turbines that can be procured at nearly any desired output making it possible to maintain a constant net output.
The process description for Case 10 is essentially the same as Case 9 with one notable exception, the addition of CO2 capture. A BFD and stream tables for Case 10 are shown in Exhibit 4-18 and Exhibit 4-19, respectively. Since the CDR facility process description was provided in Section 4.1.7, it is not repeated here.
4.2.8 Case 10 Performance Results The Case 10 modeling assumptions were presented previously in Section 4.2.2.
The plant produces a net output of 550 MW at a net plant efficiency of 26.2 percent (HHV basis). Overall plant performance is summarized in Exhibit 4-20, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The CDR facility, including CO2 compression, accounts for over half of the auxiliary plant load. The CWS (CWPs and cooling tower fan) accounts for over 14 percent of the auxiliary load, largely due to the high cooling water demand of the CDR facility.

CO21 120 (266) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power SO2 emissions are controlled using a wet limestone forced oxidation scrubber that achieves a removal efficiency of 98 percent. The byproduct calcium sulfate is dewatered and stored on site.
The wallboard grade material can potentially be marketed and sold, but since it is highly dependent on local market conditions, no byproduct credit was taken. The SO2 emissions are further reduced to 10 ppmv using a NaOH based polishing scrubber in the CDR facility. The remaining low concentration of SO2 is essentially completely removed in the CDR absorber vessel resulting in very low SO2 emissions.
NOx emissions are controlled to about 0.5 lb/106 Btu through the use of LNBs and OFA. An SCR unit then further reduces the NOx concentration by 86 percent to 0.07 lb/106 Btu.
Particulate emissions are controlled using a pulse jet fabric filter, which operates at an efficiency of 99.8 percent.
Co-benefit capture results in a 90 percent reduction of mercury emissions.
Ninety percent of the CO2 in the FG is removed in CDR facility.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 4-22. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the coal in addition to carbon in the air and limestone for the FGD. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as CO2 in the stack gas, carbon in the FGD product, and the captured CO2 product. The CO2 capture efficiency is defined by the following fraction:
1-[(Stack Gas Carbon-Air Carbon)/(Total Carbon In-Air Carbon)] or
[1-(39,853-850)/(399,230-850) *100] or 90.2 percent 358

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams A heat and mass balance diagram is shown for the Case 10 PC boiler, the FGD unit, CDR system and steam cycle in Exhibit 4-25 and Exhibit 4-26. An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 4-27.
The power out is the steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 4-20) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a generator efficiency of 98.4 percent. The Econamine process heat out stream represents heat rejected to cooling water and ultimately to ambient via the cooling tower. The same is true of the condenser heat out stream. The CO2 compressor intercooler load is included in the Econamine process heat out stream.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.3 SUPERCRITICAL PC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 11 and 12, which are based on a SC PC plant with a nominal net output of 550 MWe. Both plants use a single reheat 24.1 MPa/593°C/593°C (3,500 psig/1,100°F/1,100°F) cycle. The only difference between the two plants is that Case 12 includes CO2 capture while Case 11 does not.
The balance of Section 4.3 is organized in an analogous manner to the subcritical PC section:
- Process and System Description for Case 11
- Key Assumptions for Cases 11 and 12
- Sparing Philosophy for Cases 11 and 12
- Performance Results for Case 11
- Equipment List for Case 11
- Cost Estimates for Case 11
- Process and System Description, Performance Results, Equipment List and Cost Estimates for Case 12 4.3.1 Process Description In this section the SC PC process without CO2 capture is described. The system description is nearly identical to the subcritical PC case without CO2 capture but is repeated here for completeness. The description follows the BFD in Exhibit 4-31 and stream numbers reference the same Exhibit. The tables in Exhibit 4-32 provide process data for the numbered streams in the BFD.
Coal (stream 8) and PA (stream 4) are introduced into the boiler through the wall-fired burners.
Additional combustion air, including the OFA, is provided by the FD fans (stream 1). The boiler operates at a slight negative pressure so air leakage is into the boiler, and the infiltration air is accounted for in stream 5. Streams 3 and 6 show Ljungstrom air preheater leakages from the FD and PA fan outlet streams to the boiler exhaust.
FG exits the boiler through the SCR reactor (stream 10) and is cooled to 169°C (337°F) in the combustion air preheater before passing through a fabric filter for particulate removal (stream 12). An ID fan increases the FG temperature to 181°C (357°F) and provides the motive force for the FG (stream 13) to pass through the FGD unit. FGD inputs and outputs include makeup water (stream 15), oxidation air (stream 16), limestone slurry (stream 14), and product gypsum (stream 17). The clean, saturated FG exiting the FGD unit (stream 18) passes to the plant stack and is discharged to the atmosphere.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.3.3 Sparing Philosophy Single trains are used throughout the design with exceptions where equipment capacity requires an additional train. There is no redundancy other than normal sparing of rotating equipment.
The plant design consists of the following major subsystems:
- One dry-bottom, wall-fired PC SC boiler (1 x 100%)
- Two SCR reactors (2 x 50%)
- Two single-stage, in-line, multi-compartment fabric filters (2 x 50%)
- One wet limestone forced oxidation positive pressure absorber (1 x 100%)
- One steam turbine (1 x 100%)
- For Case 12 only, two parallel Econamine CO2 absorption systems, with each system consisting of two absorbers, strippers, and ancillary equipment (2 x 50%)
4.3.4 Case 11 Performance Results The plant produces a net output of 550 MWe at a net plant efficiency of 39.3 percent (HHV basis).
Overall performance for the plant is summarized in Exhibit 4-34, which includes auxiliary power requirements.

CO21 802 (1,768) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power SO2 emissions are controlled using a wet limestone forced oxidation scrubber that achieves a removal efficiency of 98 percent. The byproduct calcium sulfate is dewatered and stored on site.
The wallboard grade material can potentially be marketed and sold, but since it is highly dependent on local market conditions, no byproduct credit was taken. The saturated FG exiting the scrubber is vented through the plant stack.
NOx emissions are controlled to about 0.5 lb/106 Btu through the use of LNBs and OFA. An SCR unit then further reduces the NOx concentration by 86 percent to 0.07 lb/106 Btu.
Particulate emissions are controlled using a pulse jet fabric filter, which operates at an efficiency of 99.8 percent.
Co-benefit capture results in a 90 percent reduction of mercury emissions.
CO2 emissions represent the uncontrolled discharge from the process.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 4-36. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the coal, carbon in the air, and carbon in the limestone reagent used in the FGD.
Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant mostly as CO2 through the stack but also leaves as gypsum.

Exhibit 4-38 shows the overall water balance for the plant. Water demand represents the total amount of water required for a particular process. Some water is recovered within the process and is re-used as internal recycle. The difference between demand and recycle is raw water withdrawal. Raw water withdrawal is defined as the water removed from the ground or diverted from a surface-water source for use in the plant and was assumed to be provided 50 percent by a POTW and 50 percent from groundwater. Raw water withdrawal can be represented by the water metered from a raw water source and used in the plant processes for any and all purposes, such as FDG makeup, BFW makeup, and cooling tower makeup. The difference between water withdrawal and process water discharge is defined as water consumption and can be represented by the portion of the raw water withdrawn that is evaporated, transpired, incorporated into products or otherwise not returned to the water source from which it was withdrawn. Water consumption represents the net impact of the plant process on the water source balance.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams A heat and mass balance diagram is shown for the Case 11 PC boiler, the FGD unit and steam cycle in Exhibit 4-39 and Exhibit 4-40. An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 4-41. The power out is the steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 4-34) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a generator efficiency of 98.4 percent.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.3.6 Case 11 - Costs Estimating Results The cost estimating methodology was described previously in Section 2.7. Exhibit 4-42 shows the total plant capital cost summary organized by cost account and Exhibit 4-43 shows a more detailed breakdown of the capital costs as well as owners costs, TOC, and TASC. Exhibit 4-44 shows the initial and annual O&M costs.
The estimated TOC of the SC PC boiler with no CO2 capture is $2,024/kW. No process contingency was included in this case because all elements of the technology are commercially proven. The project contingency is 8.7 percent of the TOC. The COE is 58.9 mills/kWh.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 4.3.7 Case 12 - Supercritical PC with CO2 Capture The plant configuration for Case 12, SC PC, is the same as Case 11 with the exception that the Econamine CDR technology was added for CO2 capture. The nominal net output is maintained at 550 MW by increasing the boiler size and turbine/generator size to account for the greater auxiliary load imposed by the CDR facility. Unlike the IGCC cases where gross output was fixed by the available size of the CTs, the PC cases utilize boilers and steam turbines that can be procured at nearly any desired output making it possible to maintain a constant net output.
The process description for Case 12 is essentially the same as Case 11 with one notable exception, the addition of CO2 capture. A BFD and stream tables for Case 12 are shown in Exhibit 4-45 and Exhibit 4-46, respectively. Since the CDR facility process description was provided in Section 4.1.7, it is not repeated here.
4.3.8 Case 12 Performance Results The Case 12 modeling assumptions were presented previously in Section 4.3.2.
The plant produces a net output of 550 MW at a net plant efficiency of 28.4 percent (HHV basis). Overall plant performance is summarized in Exhibit 4-47, which includes auxiliary power requirements. The CDR facility, including CO2 compression, accounts for approximately 58 percent of the auxiliary plant load. The CWS (CWPs and cooling tower fan) accounts for over 13 percent of the auxiliary load, largely due to the high cooling water demand of the CDR facility 409

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Environmental Performance The environmental targets for emissions of Hg, NOx, SO2, and PM were presented in Section 2.4. A summary of the plant air emissions for Case 12 is presented in Exhibit 4-48.
Exhibit 4-48 Case 12 Air Emissions Tonne/year kg/GJ kg/MWh (ton/year)

CO2 8.8 (20.4) 453,763 (500,188) 92 (203)
CO21 111 (244) 1 CO2 emissions based on net power instead of gross power SO2 emissions are controlled using a wet limestone forced oxidation scrubber that achieves a removal efficiency of 98 percent. The byproduct calcium sulfate is dewatered and stored on site.
The wallboard grade material can potentially be marketed and sold, but since it is highly dependent on local market conditions, no byproduct credit was taken. The SO2 emissions are further reduced to 10 ppmv using a NaOH based polishing scrubber in the CDR facility. The remaining low concentration of SO2 is essentially completely removed in the CDR absorber vessel resulting in very low SO2 emissions.
NOx emissions are controlled to about 0.5 lb/106 Btu through the use of LNBs and OFA. An SCR unit then further reduces the NOx concentration by 86 percent to 0.07 lb/106 Btu.
Particulate emissions are controlled using a pulse jet fabric filter, which operates at an efficiency of 99.8 percent.
Co-benefit capture results in a 90 percent reduction of mercury emissions.
Ninety percent of the CO2 in the FG is removed in CDR facility.
The carbon balance for the plant is shown in Exhibit 4-49. The carbon input to the plant consists of carbon in the coal in addition to carbon in the air and limestone for the FGD. Carbon in the air is not neglected here since the Aspen model accounts for air components throughout. Carbon leaves the plant as CO2 in the stack gas, carbon in the FGD product, and the captured CO2 product. The carbon capture efficiency is defined by the following fraction:
1-[(Stack Gas Carbon-Air Carbon)/(Total Carbon In-Air Carbon)] or
[1-(36,667-783)/(367,272-783)
- 100] or 90.2 percent 414

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Heat and Mass Balance Diagrams A heat and mass balance diagram is shown for the Case 12 PC boiler, the FGD unit, CDR system, and steam cycle in Exhibit 4-52 and Exhibit 4-53. An overall plant energy balance is provided in tabular form in Exhibit 4-54. The power out is the steam turbine power prior to generator losses. The power at the generator terminals (shown in Exhibit 4-47) is calculated by multiplying the power out by a generator efficiency of 98.5 percent. The Econamine process heat out stream represents heat rejected to cooling water and ultimately to ambient via the cooling tower. The same is true of the condenser heat out stream. The CO2 compressor intercooler load is included in the Econamine process heat out stream.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The components of TOC and overall TASC are shown for each PC case in Exhibit 4-59.
The following observations about TOC can be made:
- The TOC of the non-capture SC PC case is only incrementally greater than non-capture subcritical PC (less than 2 percent). The TOC of subcritical PC with CO2 capture is approximately 1 percent greater than SC PC with CO2 capture.
- The TOC penalty for adding CO2 capture in the subcritical case is 81 percent and is 76 percent in the SC case. The Econamine cost includes a process contingency of approximately $100/kW in both the subcritical and SC cases. Eliminating the process contingency results in a CO2 capture cost penalty of 76 and 71 percent for the subcritical and SC PC cases, respectively. In addition to the high cost of the Econamine process, there is a significant increase in the cost of the cooling towers and CWPs in the CO2 capture cases because of the larger cooling water demand discussed previously. In addition, the gross output of the two PC plants increases by 90 MW (subcritical) and 82 MW (SC) to maintain the net output at 550 MW. The increased gross output results in higher coal flow rate and consequent higher costs for all cost accounts in the estimate.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The COE is shown for the four PC cases in Exhibit 4-60. The following observations can be made:
- Capital costs represent the largest fraction of COE in all cases, but particularly so in the CO2 capture cases. Fuel cost is the second largest component of COE, and capital charges and fuel costs combined represent 74 to 78 percent of the total in all cases.
- In the non-capture case the slight increase in capital cost in the SC case is more than offset by the efficiency gain so that the COE for SC PC is 1 percent less than subcritical despite having a nearly 2 percent higher TOC.
- In the CO2 capture case, the cost differential between subcritical and SC PC is negligible (about 1 percent), but the SC PC has a 3 percent lower COE because of the higher efficiency.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The sensitivity of COE to capacity factor is shown in Exhibit 4-61. Implicit in the curves is the assumption that a capacity factor of greater than 85 percent can be achieved without the expenditure of additional capital. The subcritical and SC cases with no CO2 capture are nearly identical making it difficult to distinguish between the two lines. The COE increases more rapidly at low CF because the relatively high capital component is spread over fewer kilowatt-hours of generation.
The sensitivity of COE to coal price is shown in Exhibit 4-62. As in the IGCC cases, the COE in the PC cases is relatively insensitive to coal price.
As presented in Section 2.4 the first year cost of CO2 avoided was calculated, and the results for the PC CO2 capture cases are shown in Exhibit 4-63.
The cost of CO2 avoided using the analogous non-capture technology as the reference is nearly identical for the subcritical and SC PC cases. Using SC PC as the non-capture reference case increases the avoided cost of subcritical PC with CO2 capture because subcritical PC has the higher COE of the two capture technologies.

Subcritical PC Supercritical PC 440
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The following observations can be made regarding plant performance with reference to Exhibit 4-58:
- The efficiency of the non-capture, SC PC plant is 2.5 absolute percentage points higher than the equivalent subcritical PC plant (39.3 percent compared to 36.8 percent). The efficiencies are comparable to those reported in other studies once steam cycle conditions are considered. For example, in an EPA study [75] comparing PC and IGCC plant configurations the subcritical PC plant using bituminous coal had an efficiency of 35.9 percent with a steam cycle of 16.5 MPa/538°C/538°C (2,400 psig/1,000°F/1,000°F). The higher steam cycle temperature in this study 566°C/566°C (1,050°F/1,050°F) is one factor that results in a higher net efficiency. The same study reported a SC plant efficiency of 38.3 percent with a steam cycle of 24.1 MPa/566°C/566°C (3,500 psig/1,050°F/1,050°F). Again, the more aggressive steam conditions in this study, 593°C/593°C (1,100°F/1,100°F) are one factor resulting in a higher net efficiency.
Similar results from an EPRI study using Illinois No. 6 coal were reported as follows:[ 76]
o Subcritical PC efficiency of 35.7 percent with a steam cycle of 16.5 MPa/538°C/538°C (2,400 psig/1,000°F/1,000°F).
o SC PC efficiency of 38.3 percent with a steam cycle of 24.8 MPa/593°C/593°C (3,600 psig/1,100°F/1,100°F).
- The addition of CO2 capture to the two PC cases results in a relative efficiency penalty of 28.9 percent in the subcritical PC case and 27.6 percent in the SC PC case. The efficiency is negatively impacted by the large auxiliary loads of the Econamine process and CO2 compression, as well as the large increase in cooling water requirement, which increases the CWP and cooling tower fan auxiliary loads. The auxiliary load increases by 90 MW in the subcritical PC case and by 82 MW in the SC PC case.
- NOx, PM, and Hg emissions are the same for all four PC cases on a heat input basis because of the environmental target assumptions of fixed removal efficiencies for each case (86 percent SCR efficiency, 99.8 percent baghouse efficiency and 90 percent co-benefit capture). The emissions on a mass basis or normalized by gross output are higher for subcritical cases than SC cases and are higher for CO2 capture cases than non-capture cases because of the higher efficiencies of SC PC and non-capture PC cases.
- SO2 emissions are likewise constant on a heat input basis for the non-capture cases, but the Econamine process polishing scrubber and absorber vessel result in negligible SO2 emissions in CO2 capture cases. The SO2 emissions for subcritical PC are higher than SC on a mass basis and when normalized by gross output because of the lower efficiency.
- Uncontrolled CO2 emissions on a mass basis are greater for subcritical PC compared to SC because of the lower efficiency. The capture cases result in a 90 percent reduction of CO2 for both subcritical and SC PC.
- Raw water consumption for all cases is dominated by cooling tower makeup requirements, which accounts for about 77 percent of raw water in non-capture cases and 81 percent of raw water in CO2 capture cases. The amount of raw water consumption in 441
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants the CO2 capture cases is greatly increased by the cooling water requirements of the Econamine process. Cooling water is required to:
o Reduce the FG temperature from 57°C (135°F) (FGD exit temperature) to 32°C (89°F) (Econamine absorber operating temperature), which also requires condensing water from the FG that comes saturated from the FGD unit.
o Remove the heat input by the stripping steam to cool the solvent o Remove the heat input from the auxiliary electric loads o Remove heat in the CO2 compressor intercoolers The normalized water withdrawal, process discharge and raw water consumption are shown in Exhibit 4-64 for each of the PC cases. In the CO2 capture cases, additional water is recovered from the FG as it is cooled to the absorber temperature of 32°C (89°F). The condensate is treated and also used as cooling tower makeup.

- 5. NATURAL GAS COMBINED CYCLE PLANTS Two NGCC power plant configurations were evaluated and are presented in this section. Each design is based on a market-ready technology that is assumed to be commercially available in time to support start up. Each design consists of two advanced F class CTGs, two HRSGs and one STG in a multi-shaft 2x2x1 configuration.
The NGCC cases are evaluated with and without CO2 capture on a common thermal input basis.
The NGCC designs that include CDR have a smaller plant net output resulting from the additional CDR facility auxiliary loads. Like in the IGCC cases, the sizes of the NGCC designs were determined by the output of the commercially available CT. Hence, evaluation of the NGCC designs on a common net output basis was not possible.
The Rankine cycle portion of both designs uses a single reheat 16.5 MPa/566°C/566°C (2400 psig/1050°F/1050°F) steam cycle. A more aggressive steam cycle was considered but not chosen because there are very few HRSGs in operation that would support such conditions [64].
5.1 NGCC COMMON PROCESS AREAS The two NGCC cases are nearly identical in configuration with the exception that Case 14 includes CO2 capture while Case 13 does not. The process areas that are common to the two plant configurations are presented in this section.
5.1.1 Natural Gas Supply System It was assumed that a natural gas main with adequate capacity is in close proximity (within 16 km [10 miles]) to the site fence line and that a suitable right of way is available to install a branch line to the site. For the purposes of this study it was also assumed that the gas will be delivered to the plant custody transfer point at 3.0 MPa (435 psig) and 38°C (100ºF), which matches the advanced F Class fuel system requirements. Hence, neither a pressure reducing station with gas preheating (to prevent moisture and hydrocarbon condensation), nor a fuel booster compressor are required.
A new gas metering station is assumed to be added on the site, adjacent to the new CT. The meter may be of the rate-of-flow type, with input to the plant computer for summing and recording, or may be of the positive displacement type. In either case, a complete time-line record of gas consumption rates and cumulative consumption is provided.
5.1.2 Combustion Turbine The combined cycle plant is based on two CTGs. The CTG is representative of the advanced F Class turbines with an ISO base rating of 184,400 kW when firing natural gas [ 77]. This machine is an axial flow, single spool, constant speed unit, with variable IGVs, and dry LNB combustion system.
Each CTG is provided with inlet air filtration systems; inlet silencers; lube and control oil systems including cooling; electric motor starting systems; acoustical enclosures including heating and ventilation; control systems including supervisory, fire protection, and fuel systems.
No back up fuel was envisioned for this project.
443
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The CTG is typically supplied in several fully shop-fabricated modules, complete with all mechanical, electrical, and control systems required for CTG operation. Site CTG installation involves module interconnection and linking CTG modules to the plant systems. The CTG package scope of supply for combined cycle application, while project specific, does not vary much from project-to-project. A typical scope of supply is presented in Exhibit 5-1.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants The generators would typically be provided with the CT package. The generators are assumed to be 24 kV, 3-phase, 60 hertz, constructed to meet American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standards for turbine-driven synchronous generators. The generator is TEWAC, complete with excitation system, cooling, and protective relaying.
5.1.3 Heat Recovery Steam Generator The HRSG is configured with HP, IP, and LP steam drums, and superheater, reheater, and economizer sections. The HP drum is supplied with FW by the HP boiler feed pump to generate HP steam, which passes to the superheater section for heating to 566°C (1050°F). The IP drum is supplied with FW by the IP boiler feed pump. The IP steam from the drum is superheated to 566°C (1050°F) and mixed with hot reheat steam from the reheat section at 566°C (1050ºF).
The combined flows are admitted into the IP section of the steam turbine. The LP drum provides steam LP turbine.
The economizer sections heat condensate and FW (in separate tube bundles). The HRSG tubes are typically comprised of bare surface and/or finned tubing or pipe material. The high-temperature portions are type P91 or P22 ferritic alloy material; the low-temperature portions
(< 399°C [750°F]) are CS. Each HRSG exhausts directly to the stack, which is fabricated from CS plate materials and lined with Type 409 SS. The stack for the NGCC cases is assumed to be 46 m (150 ft) high, and the cost is included in the HRSG account.
5.1.4 NOx Control System This reference plant is designed to achieve 2.5 ppmvd NOx emissions (expressed as NO2 and referenced to 15 percent O2). Two measures are taken to reduce the NOx. The first is a DLN burner in the CTG. The DLN burners are a low NOx design and reduce the emissions to about 25 ppmvd (referenced to 15 percent O2) [ 78].
The second measure taken to reduce the NOx emissions was the installation of a SCR system.
SCR uses ammonia and a catalyst to reduce NOx to N2 and H2O. The SCR system consists of reactor, and ammonia supply and storage system. The SCR system is designed for 90 percent reduction while firing natural gas. This along with the dry LNB achieves the emission limit of 2.5 ppmvd (referenced to 15 percent O2).
Operation Description - The SCR reactor is located in the FG path inside the HRSG between the HP and IP sections. The SCR reactor is equipped with one catalyst layer consisting of catalyst modules stacked in line on a supporting structural frame. The SCR reactor has space for installation of an additional layer. Ammonia is injected into the gas immediately prior to entering the SCR reactor. The ammonia injection grid is arranged into several sections, and consists of multiple pipes with nozzles. Ammonia flow rate into each injection grid section is controlled taking into account imbalances in the FG flow distribution across the HRSG. The catalyst contained in the reactor enhances the reaction between the ammonia and the NOx in the gas. The catalyst consists of various active materials such as titanium dioxide, vanadium pentoxide, and tungsten trioxide. The optimum inlet FG temperature range for the catalyst is 260°C (500°F) to 343°C (650°F).
The ammonia storage and injection system consists of the unloading facilities, bulk storage tank, vaporizers, and dilution air skid.
445
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 5.1.5 Carbon Dioxide Recovery Facility A CDR facility is used in Case 14 to remove 90 percent of the CO2 in the FG exiting the HRSG, purify it, and compress it to a SC condition. It is assumed that all of the carbon in the natural gas is converted to CO2. The CDR is comprised of FG supply, CO2 absorption, solvent stripping and reclaiming, and CO2 compression and drying.
The CO2 absorption/stripping/solvent reclaim process for Case 14 is based on the Fluor Econamine FG PlusSM technology as previously described in Section 4.1.7 with the exception that no SO2 polishing step is required in the NGCC case. If the pipeline natural gas used in this study contained the maximum amount of sulfur allowed per EPA specifications (0.6 gr S/100 scf), the FG would contain 0.4 ppmv of SO2, which is well below the limit where a polishing scrubber would be required (10 ppmv). A description of the basic process steps is repeated here for completeness with minor modifications to reflect application in an NGCC system as opposed to PC.
FG Cooling and Supply The function of the FG cooling and supply system is to transport FG from the HRSG to the CO2 absorption tower, and condition FG pressure, temperature and moisture content so it meets the requirements of the Econamine process. Temperature and hence moisture content of the FG exiting the HRSG is reduced in the Direct Contact FG Cooler, where FG is cooled using cooling water.
The water condensed from the FG is collected in the bottom of the Direct Contact FG Cooler section and re-circulated to the top of the Direct Contact FG Cooler section via the FG Circulation Water Cooler, which rejects heat to the plant CWS. Level in the Direct Contact FG Cooler is controlled by directing the excess water to the cooling water return line. In the Direct Contact FG Cooler, FG is cooled beyond the CO2 absorption process requirements to 33°C (91°F) to account for the subsequent FG temperature increase of 14°C (25°F) in the FG blower.
Downstream from the Direct Contact FG Cooler FG pressure is boosted in the FG blowers by approximately 0.01 MPa (2 psi) to overcome pressure drop in the CO2 absorber tower.
Circulating Water System Cooling water is provided from the NGCC plant CWS and returned to the NGCC plant cooling tower. The CDR facility requires a significant amount of cooling water for FG cooling, water wash cooling, absorber intercooling, reflux condenser duty, reclaimer cooling, the lean solvent cooler, and CO2 compression interstage cooling. The cooling water requirements for the CDR facility in the NGCC capture case is about 594,308 lpm (157,000 gpm), which greatly exceeds the NGCC plant cooling water requirement of about 200,626 lpm (53,000 gpm).
CO2 Absorption The cooled FG enters the bottom of the CO2 Absorber and flows up through the tower countercurrent to a stream of lean MEA-based solvent called Econamine. Approximately 90 percent of the CO2 in the feed gas is absorbed into the lean solvent, and the rest leaves the top of the absorber section and flows into the water wash section of the tower. The lean solvent enters the top of the absorber, absorbs the CO2 from the flue gas and leaves the bottom of the absorber with the absorbed CO2.
446
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants Water Wash Section The purpose of the Water Wash section is to minimize solvent losses due to mechanical entrainment and evaporation. The FG from the top of the CO2 Absorption section is contacted with a re-circulating stream of water for the removal of most of the lean solvent. The scrubbed gases, along with unrecovered solvent, exit the top of the wash section for discharge to the atmosphere via the vent stack. The water stream from the bottom of the wash section is collected on a chimney tray. A portion of the water collected on the chimney tray spills over to the absorber section as water makeup for the amine with the remainder pumped via the Wash Water Pump and cooled by the Wash Water Cooler, and recirculated to the top of the CO2 Absorber.
The wash water level is maintained by water makeup from the Wash Water Makeup Pump.
Rich/Lean Amine Heat Exchange System The rich solvent from the bottom of the CO2 Absorber is preheated by the lean solvent from the Solvent Stripper in the Rich Lean Solvent Exchanger. The heated rich solvent is routed to the Solvent Stripper for removal of the absorbed CO2. The stripped solvent from the bottom of the Solvent Stripper is pumped via the Hot Lean Solvent Pumps through the Rich Lean Exchanger to the Solvent Surge Tank. Prior to entering the Solvent Surge Tank, a slipstream of the lean solvent is pumped via the Solvent Filter Feed Pump through the Solvent Filter Package to prevent buildup of contaminants in the solution. From the Solvent Surge Tank the lean solvent is pumped via the Warm Lean Solvent Pumps to the Lean Solvent Cooler for further cooling, after which the cooled lean solvent is returned to the CO2 Absorber, completing the circulating solvent circuit.
Solvent Stripper The purpose of the Solvent Stripper is to separate the CO2 from the rich solvent feed exiting the bottom of the CO2 Absorber. The rich solvent is collected on a chimney tray below the bottom packed section of the Solvent Stripper and routed to the Solvent Stripper Reboilers where the rich solvent is heated by steam, stripping the CO2 from the solution. Steam is provided from the crossover pipe between the IP and LP sections of the steam turbine at about 0.51 MPa (73.5 psia) and 152°C (306°F). The hot wet vapor from the top of the stripper containing CO2, steam, and solvent vapor, is partially condensed in the Solvent Stripper Condenser by cross exchanging the hot wet vapor with cooling water. The partially condensed stream then flows to the Solvent Stripper Reflux Drum where the vapor and liquid are separated. The uncondensed CO2-rich gas is then delivered to the CO2 product compressor. The condensed liquid from the Solvent Stripper Reflux Drum is pumped via the Solvent Stripper Reflux Pumps where a portion of condensed overhead liquid is used as make-up water for the Water Wash section of the CO2 Absorber. The rest of the pumped liquid is routed back to the Solvent Stripper as reflux, which aids in limiting the amount of solvent vapors entering the stripper overhead system.
Solvent Stripper Reclaimer A small slipstream of the lean solvent from the Solvent Stripper bottoms is fed to the Solvent Stripper Reclaimer for the removal of high-boiling nonvolatile impurities (HSS), volatile acids, and iron products from the circulating solvent solution. The solvent bound in the HSS is recovered by reaction with caustic and heating with steam. The solvent reclaimer system reduces corrosion, foaming and fouling in the solvent system. The reclaimed solvent is returned 447
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants to the Solvent Stripper and the spent solvent is pumped via the Solvent Reclaimer Drain Pump to the Solvent Reclaimer Drain Tank.
Steam Condensate Steam condensate from the Solvent Stripper Reclaimer accumulates in the Solvent Reclaimer Condensate Drum and level controlled to the Solvent Reboiler Condensate Drum. Steam condensate from the Solvent Stripper Reboilers is also collected in the Solvent Reboiler Condensate Drum and returned to the steam cycle just downstream of the deaerator via the Solvent Reboiler Condensate Pumps.
Corrosion Inhibitor System A proprietary corrosion inhibitor is continuously injected into the CO2 Absorber rich solvent bottoms outlet line, the Solvent Stripper bottoms outlet line and the Solvent Stripper top tray.
This constant injection is to help control the rate of corrosion throughout the CO2 recovery plant system.
Gas Compression and Drying System In the compression section, the CO2 is compressed to 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia) by a six-stage centrifugal compressor. The discharge pressures of the stages were balanced to give reasonable power distribution and discharge temperatures across the various stages as shown in Exhibit 5-2.
Power consumption for this large compressor was estimated assuming a polytropic efficiency of 86 percent and a mechanical efficiency of 98 percent for all stages. During compression to 15.3 MPa (2,215 psia) in the multiple-stage, intercooled compressor, the CO2 stream is dehydrated to a dewpoint of -40ºC (-40°F) with triethylene glycol. The virtually moisture-free SC CO2 stream is delivered to the plant battery limit as sequestration ready. CO2 TS&M costs were estimated and included in LCOE and COE using the methodology described in Section 2.7.
5.1.6 Steam Turbine The steam turbine consists of an HP section, an IP section, and one double-flow LP section, all connected to the generator by a common shaft. The HP and IP sections are contained in a single span, opposed-flow casing, with the double-flow LP section in a separate casing.
Main steam from the boiler passes through the stop valves and control valves and enters the turbine at 16.5 MPa/566°C (2400 psig/1050°F). The steam initially enters the turbine near the middle of the HP span, flows through the turbine, and returns to the HRSG for reheating. The reheat steam flows through the reheat stop valves and intercept valves and enters the IP section at 2.5 MPa/566°C (360 psia/1050°F). After passing through the IP section, the steam enters a cross-over pipe, which transports the steam to the LP section. A branch line equipped with combined stop/intercept valves conveys LP steam from the HRSG LP drum to a tie-in at the cross-over line. The steam divides into two paths and flows through the LP sections exhausting downward into the condenser.

Turbine bearings are lubricated by a CL, water-cooled pressurized oil system. Turbine shafts are sealed against air in-leakage or steam blowout using a modern positive pressure variable clearance shaft sealing design arrangement connected to a LP steam seal system. The generator is a hydrogen-cooled synchronous type, generating power at 24 kV. A static, transformer type exciter is provided. The generator is cooled with a hydrogen gas recirculation system using fans mounted on the generator rotor shaft. The STG is controlled by a triple-redundant microprocessor-based electro-hydraulic control system. The system provides digital control of the unit in accordance with programmed control algorithms, color monitor/operator interfacing, and datalink interfaces to the balance-of-plant DCS, and incorporates on-line repair capability.
5.1.7 Water and Steam Systems Condensate The function of the condensate system is to pump condensate from the condenser hotwell to the deaerator, through the gland steam condenser; and the low-temperature economizer section in the HRSG.
The system consists of one main condenser; two 50 percent capacity, motor-driven vertical multistage condensate pumps (total of two pumps for the plant); one gland steam condenser; condenser air removal vacuum pumps, condensate polisher, and a low-temperature tube bundle in the HRSG.
Condensate is delivered to a common discharge header through two separate pump discharge lines, each with a check valve and a gate valve. A common minimum flow recirculation line discharging to the condenser is provided to maintain minimum flow requirements for the gland steam condenser and the condensate pumps.
Feedwater The function of the FW system is to pump the various FW streams from the deaerator storage tank in the HRSG to the respective steam drums. One 100 percent capacity motor-driven feed pump is provided per each HRSG (total of two pumps for the plant). The FW pumps are equipped with an interstage takeoff to provide IP and LP FW. Each pump is provided with inlet and outlet isolation valves, outlet check valves, and individual minimum flow recirculation lines 449
Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants discharging back to the deaerator storage tank. The recirculation flow is controlled by pneumatic flow control valves. In addition, the suctions of the boiler feed pumps are equipped with startup strainers, which are utilized during initial startup and following major outages or system maintenance.
Steam System The steam system is comprised of main, reheat, intermediate, and LP steam systems. The function of the main steam system is to convey main steam from the HRSG superheater outlet to the HP turbine stop valves. The function of the reheat system is to convey steam from the HP turbine exhaust to the HRSG reheater and from the HRSG reheater outlet to the turbine reheat stop valves.
Main steam exits the HRSG superheater through a motor-operated stop/check valve and a motor-operated gate valve, and is routed to the HP turbine.
Cold reheat steam exits the HP turbine, and flows through a motor-operated isolation gate valve to the HRSG reheater. Hot reheat steam exits at the HRSG reheater through a motor-operated gate valve and is routed to the IP turbines.
Circulating Water System The function of the CWS is to supply cooling water to condense the main turbine exhaust steam, for the auxiliary cooling system and for the CDR facility in Case 14. The system consists of two 50 percent capacity vertical CWPs (total of two pumps for the plant), a mechanical draft evaporative cooling tower, and interconnecting piping. The condenser is a single pass, horizontal type with divided water boxes. There are two separate circulating water circuits in each box. One-half of the condenser can be removed from service for cleaning or plugging tubes. This can be done during normal operation at reduced load.
The auxiliary cooling system is a CL system. Plate and frame heat exchangers with circulating water as the cooling medium are provided. The system provides cooling water to the following systems:
- 1. CTG lube oil coolers
- 2. CTG air coolers
- 3. STG lube oil coolers
- 4. STG hydrogen coolers
- 5. Boiler feed water pumps
- 6. Air compressors
- 7. Generator seal oil coolers (as applicable)
- 8. Sample room chillers
- 9. Blowdown coolers
- 10. Condensate extraction pump-motor coolers The CDR system in Case 14 requires a substantial amount of cooling water that is provided by the NGCC plant CWS. The additional cooling load imposed by the CDR is reflected in the significantly larger CWPs and cooling tower in that case.

5.1.9 Instrumentation and Control An integrated plant-wide DCS is provided. The DCS is a redundant microprocessor-based, functionally distributed system. The control room houses an array of video monitors and keyboard units. The monitor/keyboard units are the primary interface between the generating process and operations personnel. The DCS incorporates plant monitoring and control functions for all the major plant equipment. The DCS is designed to provide 99.5 percent availability.
The plant equipment and the DCS are designed for automatic response to load changes from minimum load to 100 percent. Startup and shutdown routines are implemented as supervised manual procedures with operator selection of modular automation routines available.

Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants 5.2 NGCC CASES This section contains an evaluation of plant designs for Cases 13 and 14. These two cases are similar in design and are based on an NGCC plant with a constant thermal input. Both plants use a single reheat 16.5 MPa/566°C/566°C (2400 psig/1050°F/1050°F) cycle. The only difference between the two plants is that Case 14 includes CO2 capture while Case 13 does not.
The balance of Section 5.2 is organized as follows:
- Process and System Description provides an overview of the technology operation as applied to Case 13. The systems that are common to all NGCC cases were covered in Section 5.1 and only features that are unique to Case 13 are discussed further in this section.

5.2.1 Process Description In this section the NGCC process without CO2 capture is described. The system description follows the BFD in Exhibit 5-3 and stream numbers reference the same exhibit. The tables in Exhibit 5-4 provide process data for the numbered streams in the BFD. The BFD shows only one of the two CT/HRSG combinations, but the flow rates in the stream table are the total for two systems.
Ambient air (stream 1) and natural gas (stream 2) are combined in the dry LNB, which is operated to control the rotor inlet temperature at 1371°C (2500°F). The FG exits the turbine at 629°C (1163°F) (stream 3) and passes into the HRSG. The HRSG generates both the main steam and reheat steam for the steam turbine.
