Large scale Shared Facilities for CCS Capture and Biomass/Bioenergy Combustion technologies
• EPSRC Delivery Plan: Internationally-leading engineering and physical sciences research cannot be done without access to large-scale infrastructure, facilities and equipment.
• For the future it has been agreed that it may be preferable to support fewer facilities in a more sustainable way rather than more facilities at a sub-optimal level.
• Encourage research facilities to provide complementary services to industrial users (where there is a market), thereby securing leverage on public investment, the profit from which will be reinvested into service improvements for all users.
• Reform provision of equipment with a national prioritisation of needs. We will increase the strategic use and sharing of capital items working in partnership with universities.
Pilot scale Shared Facilities for CCS Innovation (Capture technologies) & Biomass, Biofuel Combustion
• DECC funding on establishing facilities to support CCS innovation and technology development
• The facilities will become part of the broader UK Centre for CCS umbrella. • Pilot-Scale Advanced Capture Technology (PACT Facilities)
to support CCS innovation. • PACT Consortium: Edinburgh, Cranfield, Imperial,
Nottingham, Sheffield and LEEDS • PACT present a strong, multidisciplinary partnership of
leading CCS researchers with an international profile in the field
The role and added value of large-scale CCS (Capture) and Biomass, Biofuel research
facilities
• Positive impact on the reputation of research groups, research centre, hubs, and even whole research fields.
• Exponential increase in the number of observations and experiments via linking to a large infrastructure network.
• Contribution to a more efficient way of working. • Achieving the set scientific goals within a given time. • Combining and integrating complex, linked research. • Improving UK/EU competitiveness . • Existing funding structures for large-scale facilities.
UKCCSRC-PACT Facilities
• The following categories of users are identified: – UK/EU academics – including those from Research

THE T100 GAS TURBINE • The Turbec T100 is a
recuperative gas turbine, consisting of:
• Centrifugal compressor stage and a radial expander stage, generating 100 kW electricity with an electrical efficiency of ca. 30%.
• The turbine is also equipped with a heat exchanger, recovering the exhaust heat after the recuperator, to produce hot water.
Exhaust gas recycle (EGR & EGSR) Non-Selective Recycle in CCGT for
CO2 Capture (EGR) • Exhaust gas recycle (EGR) is an
established concept for increasing the CO2 concentration in the flue gas
Selective Recycle in CCGT for CO2 Capture (EGSR)
• Substantial improvements can be achieved when selective CO2 recycle from flue gas to the gas turbine is used
ACTTROM • Testing Solvents and solid materials
for CO2 capture for many months to get same levels of degradation that will occur on real plants.
• expensive on a pilot-scale unit for a single test.
• multiple tests are required to cover ranges of possible operating conditions, solvent blends etc.
