Abstract

This work deals with CO2 capture plants for an advanced air-blown gasification-based combined cycle where a coal with high sulphur content, which is really relevant for the coal market, is used as feedstock. The sulphur removed as H2S from the coal-derived gas enters a wet sulphuric acid process. Later, the resulting acid is used to control ammonia slip in a post-combustion CO2 capture plant based on ammonia scrubbing and designed for a reduced energy demand. Thus, limiting the energy impact of the CO2 capture technology will improve the power plant efficiency, according to a presumable lower cost of the generated electricity, as a high-sulphur coal is used as fuel input.
