Technology Background (cont…)

• No reduction in unit size/volume compared to air-fired combustion (up to flue gas branch point)

• No energy efficient integration and optimization of the process• No efficient recovery of low temperature heat • Need to design the whole plant as a gas-tight system

– CO2 and hot gas leakage out• Operational safety considerations

– Plant has to operate at slightly negative pressure• Air leakage in

• Need for flue gas recycle to transport coal from the mills– Need for gas-tight mills– Need for treatment of the primary recycle flow, etc

6

Technology Background (cont…)

• 2nd generation oxy-fuel combustion systems - Energy efficient integration and optimization of the process, recovery of low temperature heat

Hydroxy-Fuel Technology Development

Motivation: •Develop the technology base necessary for the implementation of efficient zero-emissions fossil fuel systems

Overall Objectives:• Investigate the feasibility of hydroxy-fuel combustion for the 3rd generation of oxy-fuel systems

• Investigate the reduction in size and capital cost of equipment

•Use of water/steam, preferably with no FGR, to moderate the flame temperature

10

Hydroxy-Fuel Technology Development (cont…)

• Selected power cycles

A reheat cycle with steam or water as temperature moderator

• All aspects of hydroxy-fuel process design, technology development, and implementation were performed at CANMET– i.e., design, manufacturing, system integration, and pilot-scale

testing

• The preliminary pilot-scale test results are very encouraging

• Economic and scale up studies will be performed after completion of all pilot-scale tests

• The oxy-fuel/steam burner design is novel and we are in the process of applying for a patent
