Book Towards Flexible Operation of Post combustion CO2 Capture from Brown Coal Derived Flue Gas

Download or read book Towards Flexible Operation of Post combustion CO2 Capture from Brown Coal Derived Flue Gas written by Mai Tuyet Thi Bui and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's first commercial-scale CO2 capture plant in Boundary Dam power station uses amine-based post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) technology (Boundary Dam, Canada). The issues of large energy requirement and high cost have hindered worldwide deployment of PCC. Flexible operation has been proposed as a way to improve the economic and technical feasibility of PCC. Flexible operation coordinates reductions in CO2 emissions with electricity demand by: (i) ramping up CO2 capture during periods of low energy demand, and (ii) turning down or switching off CO2 capture during high energy demand. The immediate and long term impact of process disturbances from flexible operation is unclear. This thesis investigates the technical influence of flexible operation during amine-based CO2 capture from brown coal derived flue gas. Dynamic pilot plant studies have provided practical experience in flexible operation of PCC plants. The pilot plant study demonstrates the successful implementation of flexible operation in the form of parameter step-changes to a PCC process. The PCC pilot plant is run by CSIRO and located at AGL Loy Yang in Australia. The operation of the PCC plant under a broad range of transient conditions has captured the dynamics of the process and provides suitable data dynamic model validation. Additionally, the density meters provide the advantage for online monitoring of liquid CO2 concentration. Statistical analysis revealed that data variance may occur due to changes in: (i) ambient temperature, (ii) MEA concentration, or (iii) amine degradation. Although PCC plants of different scales and configurations have different response times, it is likely the dynamic trends to parameter changes would be similar. Thus, the dynamic behaviour observed in this thesis is of greater significance compared to the absolute values. Based on this study, changing the flue gas flow rate would produce the most rapid response. The greatest CO2 removal percentage was achieved at the lowest flue gas flow rate or at the highest absorbent flow rate. However, the latter provides high CO2 removal percentage with significantly lower reboiler heat duty in terms of MJ/kg CO2. The steam pressure parameter provides the ability to adjust the temperature of all the columns simultaneously. This effect may be used to compensate for effects from ambient conditions or heat losses. Flexible operation of PCC is modelled using Aspen Plus Dynamics®. Dynamic modelling of flexible PCC operation in the pilot plant uses the following stand-alone models: (i) Absorber Column 2 (ABS2), (ii) Absorber column 1 (ABS1), and (iii) Stripper Column. Stand-alone models provide the advantage of greater flexibility compared to integrated models; also they carry-through of successive errors is avoided. Additionally, disturbances can be introduced to intermediate streams without convergence issues. Each stand-alone model simulates the following flexible operation scenarios: (i) step-changes in flue gas flow rate, (ii) step-changes in absorbent flow rate, and (iii) step-changes in steam pressure. Modelling of property changes individually, elucidates which properties generate the dynamic responses observed in the pilot plant. The overall effect observed in the step-changes scenarios was the result of a combination of property changes that occur in tandem. The combination of these property changes accurately describes the dynamic behaviour observed in the pilot plant results. Although the dynamic modelling could not replicate the absolute values obtained in the pilot plant, the models demonstrated the same trends observed in pilot plant results. The modelled behaviour and pilot plant observations are in agreement for comparisons of the following results: (i) column temperature, (ii) CO2 composition of the liquid product, (iii) CO2 composition of the vapour product, and (iv) CO2 removal/capture percentage. Modelled dynamic response is in agreement with pilot plant trends, despite the influence of non-ideal conditions (e.g. amine degradation, ambient temperature effects, heat loss). Some key novel outcomes of the dynamic modelling include: (i) Model specifications in Aspen Plus® and Aspen Plus Dynamics® are based on data from the CSIRO PCC pilot plant at AGL Loy Yang; (ii) Modelling of a PCC process with a double-absorber configuration; (iii) The process of converting equilibrium reactions into forward/reverse kinetic reactions is documented in detail; (iv) The number of equilibrium stages for this PCC study is greater compared to previous Aspen Plus Dynamics® studies by Lin et al. (2011), Lin et al. (2012) and Léonard et al. (2013); (v) Demonstrated the necessity of adjustment factors to achieve model agreement with experimental data (particular when pilot plant data is affected by non-ideal conditions); (vi) Compared the precision of different mass transfer coefficient correlations for rate-based PCC modelling.

Book Absorption Based Post Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide

Download or read book Absorption Based Post Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide written by Paul Feron and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absorption-Based Post-Combustion Capture of Carbon Dioxide provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of the use of absorbents for post-combustion capture of carbon dioxide. As fossil fuel-based power generation technologies are likely to remain key in the future, at least in the short- and medium-term, carbon capture and storage will be a critical greenhouse gas reduction technique. Post-combustion capture involves the removal of carbon dioxide from flue gases after fuel combustion, meaning that carbon dioxide can then be compressed and cooled to form a safely transportable liquid that can be stored underground. - Provides researchers in academia and industry with an authoritative overview of the amine-based methods for carbon dioxide capture from flue gases and related processes - Editors and contributors are well known experts in the field - Presents the first book on this specific topic

Book Integration and Operation of Post combustion Capture System on Coal fired Power Generation  Load Following and Peak Power

Download or read book Integration and Operation of Post combustion Capture System on Coal fired Power Generation Load Following and Peak Power written by Robert David Brasington (S.M.) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal-fired power plants with post combustion capture and sequestration (CCS) systems have a variety of challenges to integrate the steam generation, air quality control, cooling water systems and steam turbine with the capture system. A variety of engineering studies have been completed that cover these aspects when a plant is operating at full load while operating at a 90 percent capture rate. These studies investigate the basic integration of the these systems, the energy penalty and the effect of capital costs; however, none of these studies comprehensively explore the ability of the capture plant and the balance of the integrated system to respond dynamically to changes in load or capture rate. These load changes occur due to a change in demand for electricity in the system, generation by variable, intermittent resources, or if the plant is equipped with the ability to store solvent to implement price arbitrage. The integrated carbon capture system can be broken down into three general modes: full capacity, load following and peak power generation. Each of these modes presents unique challenges to integration with the CCS system. The load following mode requires the ability to accommodate different ramp rates that are reflected in flue gas flow and composition. Operation at partial load will affect the quality of steam sent to the solvent regeneration unit. Depending on the setup of the steam turbine system, at lower loads multiple extractions points may be necessary or an increase of the amount of extraction steam will be required due to the reduction in steam quality. Using Aspen Dynamics, a CO2 capture system using a monoethanolamine (MEA) absorption process is simulated at various plant loads to determine the overall effects on the efficiency of the CCS unit and the balance of the system. In addition, the dynamic behavior of the CCS unit on power output and emissions is shown to demonstrate that the capability of a coal-fired power plant to load follow is not hindered by the addition of a carbon capture unit. The solvent storage mode can be further broken to two operation modes. The first is peak power production, which occurs when the solvent is capturing CO2 from the flue gas, but is minimizing or delaying regeneration to a future time through storage. This mode is used to take advantage of peak power prices by maximizing power output of the plant and maintaining a 90 percent capture rate. The regeneration mode entails the solvent being released from the storage tanks and sent to the reboiler column. Solvent storage has been shown in previous studies to have the ability to increase operating profits, but these studies have neglected to incorporate the capital costs associated with this type of operation mode and the operational issues and complexity associated with the large swings in quantities of steam required for the solvent regeneration. By including the capital costs, this study determines that a system with large duration solvent storage is not economically viable given the flexible demands of the system and current electricity price spreads. This thesis presents a framework for considering the flexible operations of a coal-fired power plant with an integrated carbon capture and sequestration system. By exploring the operational limitations of the integrated system and the economic costs, an evaluation is made of the viability of different CCS operational schemes. This study finds that the CCS unit can match the dynamics of the base coal plant and also increase the operational flexibility of the system. The increased capital expenditure to meet peak demand is viable for larger steam turbine configurations in electricity systems with high peak prices and plants with short duration solvent storage.

Book Modelling  Scheduling and Control of Pilot scale and Commercial scale MEA based CO2 Capture Plants

Download or read book Modelling Scheduling and Control of Pilot scale and Commercial scale MEA based CO2 Capture Plants written by Zhenrong He and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent reports have shown that global population is rising and more fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, are required to meet the global energy demands. The adverse effect of burning fossil fuels has become a concern due to its contribution to global warming and increasing emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly CO2, have been regarded as a main cause for the rising temperature of the earth's surface. To partially address this pressing social problem, CO2 capture technology, which has been considered as an efficient and feasible technology to reduce global CO2 emissions, has been deeply explored and tested over the last decades. Among several available CO2 capture technologies, the MEA-based post-combustion CO2 capture process is considered a mature technology for mitigating CO2 emissions due to its inherent benefits, e.g. high CO2 capture capacity, low price of MEA solvent and fast kinetics. However, a large amount of energy is required to regenerate MEA solvent. Thus, the efficiency of fossil fuel-fired power plants decreases. In addition, the dynamic operation of the CO2 capture process needs to be explored in more detail to analyze the transient operation of this plant and its interaction with the operation of the fossil fuel-fired power plants. Thus, the development of MEA-based CO2 capture technology has gained attention. Based on above, in the present study, a dynamic model of a pilot-scale MEA-based CO2 capture plant was first developed and a flexibility analysis under critical operating conditions was performed followed by an implementation of simultaneous scheduling and control using the proposed dynamic model. Based on the pilot-scale CO2 capture plant, a natural gas power plant integrated with a commercial-scale MEA-based post-combustion CO2 capture process was developed. The proposed model was used to perform a flexibility analysis on the integrated systems. This study first presents a dynamic flexibility analysis of a pilot-scale post-combustion CO2 capture plant using MPC. The critical operating conditions in the plant's main load (flue gas flowrate) were initially identified in open-loop and closed-loop. Insights from this analysis have shown that oscillatory changes with high frequencies content in the load are particularly harmful to the system in closed-loop. Taking these insights into account, a simultaneous scheduling and control framework was developed to identify optimal operating policies under the critical operating conditions in the flue gas flowrate. The results obtained from this framework were compared against a sequential scheduling and control approach. The results show that the proposed integrated framework specifies more economically attractive operating policies than those obtained from the sequential approach. Furthermore, a model describing the dynamic operation of a 453 MWe NGCC power plant integrated with a commercial-scale post-combustion CO2 capture plant has been developed. The proposed model has been used to evaluate the dynamic performance of the integrated process under various scenarios, e.g. changes in the reboiler heat duty and power plant inputs. In addition, the transient operation of the integrated plant using a pre-defined (scheduled) trajectory profile in the consumption of steam in the reboiler unit has been compared to the case of constant withdrawal of steam from the power plant. The results show that a coordinated effort between the two plants is needed to run the integrated plant efficiently and at near optimal economic points under changes in power demands. In the present work, flexibility analysis and scheduling and control have been performed based on the proposed pilot-scale CO2 capture process. Furthermore, the dynamic behaviour of the natural gas power plant integrated with the commercial-scale CO2 capture plant was assessed under several scenarios that are likely to occur during operation. The insights gained through these analyses will be instrumental to design basic and advanced control and scheduling strategies for integrated NGCC-CO2 capture plants.

Book excerpt: In Canada, coal-fired power plants are the largest anthropogenic point sources of atmospheric CO2. The most promising near-term strategy for mitigating CO2 emissions from these facilities is the post-combustion capture of CO2 using MEA (monoethanolamine) with subsequent geologic sequestration. While MEA absorption of CO2 from coal-derived flue gases on the scale proposed above is technologically feasible, MEA absorption is an energy intensive process and especially requires large quantities of low-pressure steam. It is the magnitude of the cost of providing this supplemental energy that is currently inhibiting the deployment of CO2 capture with MEA absorption as means of combatting global warming. The steam cycle of a power plant ejects large quantities of low-quality heat to the surroundings. Traditionally, this waste has had no economic value. However, at different times and in different places, it has been recognized that the diversion of lower quality streams could be beneficial, for example, as an energy carrier for district heating systems. In a similar vein, using the waste heat from the power plant steam cycle to satisfy the heat requirements of a proposed CO2 capture plant would reduce the required outlay for supplemental utilities; the economic barrier to MEA absorption could be removed. In this thesis, state-of-the-art process simulation tools are used to model coal combustion, steam cycle, and MEA absorption processes. These disparate models are then combined to create a model of a coal-fired power plant with integrated CO2 capture. A sensitivity analysis on the integrated model is performed to ascertain the process variables which most strongly influence the CO2 energy penalty. From the simulation results with this integrated model, it is clear that there is a substantial thermodynamic advantage to diverting low-pressure steam from the steam cycle for use in the CO2 capture plant. During the course of the investigation, methodologies for using Aspen Plus® to predict column pressure profiles and for converging the MEA absorption process flowsheet were developed and are herein presented.

Book Development of a Novel Gas Pressurized Stripping Process Based Technology for CO2 Capture from Post Combustion Flue Gases

Download or read book Development of a Novel Gas Pressurized Stripping Process Based Technology for CO2 Capture from Post Combustion Flue Gases written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel Gas Pressurized Stripping (GPS) post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) process has been developed by Carbon Capture Scientific, LLC, CONSOL Energy Inc., Nexant Inc., and Western Kentucky University in this bench-scale project. The GPS-based process presents a unique approach that uses a gas pressurized technology for CO2 stripping at an elevated pressure to overcome the energy use and other disadvantages associated with the benchmark monoethanolamine (MEA) process. The project was aimed at performing laboratory- and bench-scale experiments to prove its technical feasibility and generate process engineering and scale-up data, and conducting a techno-economic analysis (TEA) to demonstrate its energy use and cost competitiveness over the MEA process. To meet project goals and objectives, a combination of experimental work, process simulation, and technical and economic analysis studies were applied. The project conducted individual unit lab-scale tests for major process components, including a first absorption column, a GPS column, a second absorption column, and a flasher. Computer simulations were carried out to study the GPS column behavior under different operating conditions, to optimize the column design and operation, and to optimize the GPS process for an existing and a new power plant. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data under high loading and high temperature for the selected amines were also measured. The thermal and oxidative stability of the selected solvents were also tested experimentally and presented. A bench-scale column-based unit capable of achieving at least 90% CO2 capture from a nominal 500 SLPM coal-derived flue gas slipstream was designed and built. This integrated, continuous, skid-mounted GPS system was tested using real flue gas from a coal-fired boiler at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC). The technical challenges of the GPS technology in stability, corrosion, and foaming of selected solvents, and environmental, health and safety risks have been addressed through experimental tests, consultation with vendors and engineering analysis. Multiple rounds of TEA were performed to improve the GPS-based PCC process design and operation, and to compare the energy use and cost performance of a nominal 550-MWe supercritical pulverized coal (PC) plant among the DOE/NETL report Case 11 (the PC plant without CO2 capture), the DOE/NETL report Case 12 (the PC plant with benchmark MEA-based PCC), and the PC plant using GPS-based PCC. The results reveal that the net power produced in the PC plant with GPS-based PCC is 647 MWe, greater than that of the Case 12 (550 MWe). The 20-year LCOE for the PC plant with GPS-based PCC is 97.4 mills/kWh, or 152% of that of the Case 11, which is also 23% less than that of the Case 12. These results demonstrate that the GPS-based PCC process is energy-efficient and cost-effective compared with the benchmark MEA process.

Book Carbon Capture and Storage Including Coal fired Power Plants

Download or read book Carbon Capture and Storage Including Coal fired Power Plants written by Todd P. Carington and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nationally-recognised studies and our contacts with a diverse group of industry representatives, non-governmental organisations, and academic researchers show that key barriers to CCS deployment include (1) underdeveloped and costly CO2 capture technology and (2) regulatory and legal uncertainties over CO2 capture, injection, and storage. Among the key technological barriers are a lack of experience in capturing significant amounts of CO2 from power plants and the significant cost of capturing CO2, particularly from existing coal-fired power plants, which are the single largest source of CO2 emissions in the United States. Compounding these technological issues are regulatory and legal uncertainties, including uncertainty regarding liability for CO2 leakage and ownership of CO2 once injected. According to the IPCC, the National Academy of Sciences, and other knowledgeable authorities, another barrier is the absence of a national strategy to control CO2 emissions (emissions trading plan, CO2 emissions tax, or other mandatory control of CO2 emissions), without which the electric utility industry has little incentive to capture and store its CO2 emissions. Moreover, according to key agency officials, the absence of a national strategy has also deterred their agencies from addressing other important practical issues, such as resolving how stored CO2 would be treated in a future CO2 emissions trading plan.
