Project ID: |
DE-FC26-04NT42237 |
| Objective: |
To improve the availability and efficiency of gasification-based power plants, and to reduce plant capital and operations costs. The specific objectives of this project towards these over-arching objectives are to:
- Demonstrate high pressure, dry feed system including long-life rapid-mix injectors, flow splitting, and operation of a prototype 600 tpd feed pump.
- Test cooled refractory liner coupons. This cooled refractory is anticipated to result in an operational life exceeding three years.
- Perform conceptual design and hardware definition of a novel 18 tpd highly efficient, long life entrained flow gasifier.
The only part of the project currently active is the development of the prototype feed pump.
The PWR feed pump has the potential to significantly improve the availability and efficiency of feeding dry coal/petcoke/biomass into high pressure gasifiers, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gasifier and reducing plant capital, maintenance and operating costs. Also, being able to dry feed high moisture coal into high pressure gasifiers may make these coals more commercially competitive. |
