Book Simulation and Techno economic Analysis of Pressurized Oxy fuel Combustion of Petroleum Coke

Download or read book Simulation and Techno economic Analysis of Pressurized Oxy fuel Combustion of Petroleum Coke written by Hachem Hamadeh and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research presented in this thesis was part of the International Partnership for Carbon Neutral Combustion, which was sponsored by King Abdulla University of Science and Technology. The thesis focuses on oxy-fuel combustion under pressurized conditions and assesses the technical and economic viability of combusting petroleum coke (petcoke) for electricity generation, while capturing CO2. The technical evaluation was conducted through simulating, in Aspen PlusTM, an oxy-combustion power plant that uses petcoke as fuel. The basis for all simulations was a constant heat input of 1877 MWth, while a 3% (on dry basis) excess oxygen was maintain in the flue gas along with an adiabatic flame-temperature of 1866ʻC. Comparisons with the oxy-combustion of Illinois No. 6 coal showed that oxy-coal combustion was 0.6% points (on HHV basis) more efficient than oxy-petcoke combustion (29.0% versus 29.6%). However, operating oxy-petcoke combustion at elevated pressures improved the net efficiency to a maximum of just over 29.8% (on HHV basis) at 10 bar. A sensitivity analysis on the impact of operating pressure was conducted on the fuel intake, O2 required, recycle ratio and removal ratio of SOx and NOx via flash distillation; along with how the operating pressure within the carbon capture unit affects the recovery and purity of the CO2 being separated. The sensitivity analysis showed that pressure had minimal impact on the fuel intake and O2 required but affected recycle ratio by up to 3% points, while increasing pressure improved the removal ratio of SOx and NOx. As for the operating pressure of the carbon capture unit, the recovery and purity of the CO2 produced was preferred at 35 bar. In addition, a modification to the steam cycle is presented that utilizes the latent heat of the flue gas to heat the feed water, which improves the net efficiency of the power plant at all pressures by 1.9% points. As for the economic evaluation, the oxy-petcoke combustion power plant was assumed to be built in the US and in KSA. The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for oxy-coal combustion was 11.6 [cent]/kWh (in 2017 USD) compared to 10.4 [cent]/kWh and 6.5 [cent]/kWh for atmospheric oxy-petcoke combustion in the US and in KSA, respectively. The LCOE further drops to a minimum of 9.2 [cent]/kWh in the US, or 5.7[cent]/kWh in KSA, when oxy-petcoke combustion takes place at 10 or 15 bar. However, based on a profitability analysis, operating at 10 bar has the highest net profit, highest net present value and lowest discounted payback period, compared to the plants operating at 1, 5 and 15 bar, whether in the US or in KSA. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted that showed that the cost of manufacturing (COM), LCOE and costs of CO2 avoided and CO2 capture are most sensitive to total capital cost, and to a lesser extent the cost of the fuel, which in this case is petcoke. Overall, the technical and economic evaluation help conclude that using petcoke as a fuel to generate electricity is viable in oil-refining countries like the US or KSA, in which pressurized oxy-petcoke combustion is better than atmospheric as the highest net efficiency and lowest LCOE are achieved at an operating pressure of 10 bar.

Book Techno economic Analysis of Sour Gas Oxy fuel Combustion Power Cycles for Carbon Capture and Sequestration

Download or read book Techno economic Analysis of Sour Gas Oxy fuel Combustion Power Cycles for Carbon Capture and Sequestration written by Nadim Walid Chakroun and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's growing energy demand coupled with the problem of global warming have led us to investigate new energy sources that can be utilized in a way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions than traditional fossil fuel power plants. One of these unconventional fuels is sour gas. Sour gas consists of mainly methane, containing large concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide. Over 30% of the world's natural gas reserves are considered sour. However this unusual fuel poses many challenges due to the toxic and corrosive nature of the combustion products. One of the most promising technologies for carbon capture and sequestration is oxy-fuel combustion. This involves separating the nitrogen from air prior to the combustion itself. Then, after combustion, we separate the water and other substances and can use the resulting carbon dioxide stream for enhanced oil recovery representing an added economic benefit of this system. Firing temperatures for pure oxygen combustion can reach values up to 2500° C, which is well above what the combustor can handle. Therefore a diluent has to be added to reduce the temperature back to appropriate levels, but the key question is how this impacts the efficiency and performance of the entire cycle. Hence, if feasible, the use of sour gas in an oxy-fuel power plant could potentially allow us to harness the economic and environmental potential of this unconventional fuel. Depending on the cycle configuration, water or carbon dioxide can be used as diluents to control the flame temperature in the combustion process. All of these cycle types were modeled and the cycles' performances and emissions were studied. When the working fluid condenses in the cycle, sulfuric acid is formed due the presence of SO, compounds, which causes corrosion and can damage power plant components. Therefore, either expensive acid resistant materials should be used, or a redesign of the cycle is required to overcome this challenge. Different options were explored for each of the cycle types mentioned to help in the visualization and performance prediction of possible sour gas oxy-fuel power cycle configurations. A cost analysis of the proposed systems was also conducted in order to provide preliminary levelized cost of electricity estimates.

Book The Modeling of Petroleum Coke Gasification Using ASPEN PLUS Software

Download or read book The Modeling of Petroleum Coke Gasification Using ASPEN PLUS Software written by Saif Yoseif Salih and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gasification of petroleum coke (Petcoke) has emerged in the last decades as one of the attractive options and is gaining more attention to convert petcoke and oil residue to synthesis gas (Syngas). Syngas consists mainly of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), some other gases, and impurities. In this study, a simulation of Tuscaloosa petcoke, typical gulf coast refineries petcoke, gasification was developed using ASPEN PLUS software. Sensitivity analysis of the simulated model was performed to study the variation in operation conditions of the gasifier such as temperature, pressure, oxygen flow rate, and steam flow rate. The approach correlates the behavior of these parameters with the syngas yield (i.e., H2, CO, CO2, H2O, CH 4, and H2S). Consequently, the desired syngas yield can be obtained by manipulating the gasifier parameters. Implementing optimization calculation shows that up to (81 %) of the gasifier cold gas efficiency (Based on LHV) can be achieved for the developed model. Therefore, Tuscaloosa petcoke gasification under the aforementioned parameters is feasible and can be commercialized. This leads to more utilization of the bottom of oil barrel by upgrading it to more valuable gases with less environmental impacts.

Book Studies in Advanced Oxy combustion Technologies

Download or read book Studies in Advanced Oxy combustion Technologies written by Fei Xia and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, approximately 87 percent of the total world energy came from combustion sources. While combustion is of critical significance, it poses serious issues. The rapid increase in energy consumption, primarily from increased fossil fuel use, has raised strong concerns over the current energy infrastructure, the emissions of particulate matter, CO, SO2, and NOx, as well as global warming due to the emission of CO2. Improving combustion efficiency and reducing combustion emissions are essential. This dissertation focuses on two areas: (1) Computational fluid dynamics simulations of a novel burner design for a new oxy-fuel technology with relatively high efficiency and low emissions, and (2) numerical studies of flame structure and soot inception, interpreted in the carbon-to-oxygen atom ratio space for laminar diffusion flames. Part I. Oxy-fuel combustion is considered a promising technology for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). One of the primary limitations on full-scale implementation of this technology is the significant increase in the cost of electricity due to a large reduction in plant efficiency and high capital costs. The fact that the CO2 captured must ultimately be pressurized for geo-sequestration or Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) enables pressurized oxy-combustion to be implemented at no net pumping cost because the energy to pump oxygen is comparable to that to pump CO2. At higher pressure the latent heat of condensation of the moisture in the flue gas can be utilized in the Rankine cycle, increasing the plant efficiency. A new pressurized oxy-combustion technology, namely staged, pressurized oxy-combustion (SPOC) has been developed in which the flue gas recycle is minimized by means of fuel-staged combustion. As determined through ASPEN Plus modeling, this process increases the net plant efficiency by more than 5 percentage points, compared to first-generation oxy-combustion plants. In the SPOC process, pulverized coal is combusted at high-pressure with negligible recycle. A unique burner and boiler have been designed via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to effectively and safely burn coal under SPOC conditions. CFD is used to model the process and to determine the effects of operating conditions on the radiative and convective heat transfer in the boiler. It is shown through the simulations that a manageable wall heat flux can be achieved even with very high local gas temperatures. The system is also designed to minimize particle deposition to avoid slagging, fouling, and corrosion, and simulations of ash deposition indicate negligible deposition on the furnace wall. Radiation behavior is also studied to demonstrate radiative trapping effects. It is demonstrated, through both analytical and numerical studies, that the system pressurize is a critical tool to obtain an optically thick medium capable of trapping heat inside the furnace. It is further shown that for a sufficiently large optical thickness radiative trapping can occur, and this, combined with the diffusive-convective profiles of the temperature and absorption coefficient, allow us manage the wall heat flux. An average-temperature method is developed to approximate the heat flux and to study the dynamic relations of temperature and the absorption coefficient. The effects of ash particle size on radiative trapping are systematically studied. It is concluded that the wall heat flux is controlled by particle size as well as particle number concentration, in other words, by particle porosity and fragmentation. Ultimately, burners and boilers are designed to minimize the boiler heat transfer surface area, ash deposition, and fire-side corrosion for the SPOC system. Part II. Understanding the structure of diffusion flames is often complicated by the dependence of flame structure on the boundary conditions, such as composition, temperature, and flow field (e.g., strain rate in a counterflow flame.) The utility of interpreting flame results in the carbon-to-oxygen atom ratio (C/O ratio) space, as opposed to physical space or mixture fraction space, is evaluated. Flame and soot zone structures of counterflow diffusion flames are studied for C2H4 and C3H8 and interpreted in C/O ratio space as a function of the stoichiometric mixture fraction (Zst). The Burke-Schumann results expressed in C/O ratio space demonstrate how a clear and direct understanding of how structure is affected by Zst can be realized. In C/O ratio space, unlike physical or mixture fraction space, the flame location is independent of the stoichiometric mixture fraction. Numerical results with detailed chemical kinetics also indicate that C/O ratio space is a fundamental variable in the sense that, for a given fuel, the location of the flame zones and critical reactions is invariant with Zst and strain rate. Two zones are clearly observed, the radical pool zone and the soot precursor zone which is located on the fuel side of the flame. The onset threshold of soot precursors (C6H5 and C6H6) on the high temperature side of the soot precursor zone is characterized by the depletion of radicals. The role of the hydrogen radical in flame structure and soot inception is demonstrated by studying its production and consumption channels in C/O ratio space, as are the roles of C2H2 in soot precursor depletion and boundary coincidence. The kinetic ratio is used to study the characteristics of key chemical reactions and to identify regions of equilibrium for these reactions. Finally, a modified C/O ratio ((C/O)*) is given to interpret the physical meaning of C/O ratio. The numerical results in this work indicate and explain the advantages of applying C/O ratio space in the analysis of flame structure and soot precursor chemistry.

Book Formation and Removal of SOx and NOx in Pressurized Oxy fuel Coal Combustion

Download or read book Formation and Removal of SOx and NOx in Pressurized Oxy fuel Coal Combustion written by Muhammad Jahangir Malik and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing concerns over greenhouse gas emissions have driven extensive research in carbon capture, storage and sequestration. Oxy-fuel combustion is a promising technology in CO2 capture, as the combustion products consists primarily of CO2 and H2O with contaminants like NOx and SOx. More recently, oxy-fuel combustion under pressurized conditions has gained attention due to its overall higher net efficiency, while decreasing the auxiliary power consumption in the process. The need for a better understanding of the coal combustion in oxy-fuel conditions under elevated pressures and the formation of SOx and NOx in such conditions inspired this research project. In this thesis, the effect of pressurized oxy-fuel combustion on SOx and NOx formation from coal combustion and their removal from the flue gas was investigated. The combustion modelling for lignite coal was conducted in ANSYS Fluent, under oxy-fuel environment at atmospheric pressure and elevated pressures (5 atm, 10 atm, 15 atm). The results showed an increase in SO3 formation and rapid decrease in NO in the flue gas as the pressure was increased in the combustor. At 15 atm, the NOx emissions were found to be below 100 ppm, which is an acceptable concentration of NOx for CO2 transport and storage. In order to investigate the influence of pressure on SOx and NOx in the flue gas in the post-combustion zone, the system was subjected to a temperature profile representative of an actual plant boiler, where the residence time is around 2 seconds. The results showed that the rate of SO2 and NO oxidation to SO3 and NO2, respectively, were influenced by the rate of temperature decrease, and the effect of pressure was not as significant. It was observed that flue gas composition remained constant below 550 K, as all SO3 present in the flue gas converted to gaseous H2SO4. Lastly, simulations for SOx and NOx removal from flue gas via absorption were performed at 15 atm to purify the flue gas to meet the requirements for CO2 transportation. The results showed complete removal of SOx in the form of H2SO4 and SO42- and around 30% NOx removal, mostly in the form of HNO3. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the reflux ratio of liquid in the absorber and the results showed increased NOx removal at lower reflux ratio. The investigation helped conclude that pressurized oxy-fuel combustion results in lower SOx and NOx emissions, and require less sophisticated separation techniques to meet the pipeline threshold for CO2 transportation in storage and sequestration.
