Abstract

A process and a power plant comprising a combustor with a flue gas outlet and one or more water selective separators downstream the flue gas outlet to separate water from the flue gas. Optionally, a water return line returns separated water from the water selective separator to a water inlet of a CO shift cell with an outlet feeding H2 enriched syngas to the combustor.

Description

  • The invention relates to a power plant comprising a syngas combustor, such as for example a combustor in an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant. Such IGCC plants typically include an upstream gasifier to produce syngas by partial combustion of a hydrocarbon feed, such as pulverized coal, and a downstream combustor to combust the syngas produced in the upstream gasifier.
  • Syngas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Yields of generated energy are higher with syngas having higher hydrogen content. The hydrogen content in the syngas can be increased by the water-gas shift reaction. With this reaction carbon monoxide reacts with water to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen:

  • CO(g)+H2O(1)→CO2(g)+H2(g)
  • Heat can be extracted from the flue gas discharged from the combustor to be used for generating power, typically via a steam cycle.
  • The flue gas includes water vapour. The water content in the flue gas is mainly produced by the combustion of hydrogen in the combustor. Water is also introduced by the syngas fuel and by air supplied to the combustor. A further source of the flue gas water content is water used for washing the flue gas to remove pollutants, such as SOx, NOx and fly ash.
  • Due to the high water vapour content of the flue gas, the temperature of the flue gas should be maintained well above the dew point to prevent corrosion of plant equipment. As a consequence, part of the heat in the flue gas cannot be recovered and used for power generation.
  • It is an object of the invention to reduce consumption of energy and to improve the overall efficiency of the combustion process.
  • The object of the invention is achieved with a power plant, comprising a combustor with a flue gas outlet and one or more water selective separators downstream of the flue gas outlet to separate water from the flue gas.
  • Since the water content of the flue gas is substantially reduced, the dew point is lowered and more heat can be recovered from the flue gas. This contributes to a substantial improvement of the overall efficiency of the power generating process.
  • It has been found that about 70% of the water content of the flue gas can be recovered. This water has a high degree of purity and can for example be reused as make-up water for a steam cycle. This reduces the need to prepare fresh make-up water, which results in substantial energy savings, particularly if the make-up water is prepared from sea water, e.g., by desalination or by reverse osmosis using membrane filtration.
  • The recovered water can also be used as cooling water in any part of the process or for any other suitable purpose.
  • In a specific embodiment, the plant may further comprise a CO shift cell with a syngas inlet, a water inlet and an outlet operatively connected to the inlet of the combustor for the transport of H2 enriched syngas to the combustor, wherein a water return line is configured to return at least a part of the separated water from the separator to the water inlet of the CO shift cell. In the CO shift cell, the hydrogen content of the syngas is substantially increased by the water-gas shift reaction. CO2 formed with this reaction is separated and discharged, for instance by scrubbing using amine solvents. This way, the hydrogen content of the enriched syngas fed to the combustor is substantially increased without increasing water consumption in the process as a whole.
  • The water selective separator can for instance be a filter membrane. Suitable membranes include hydrophilic stainless steel membranes, such as tubular stainless steel membranes of Hyflux, and hydrophilic ceramic membranes, such as ceramic membranes from CEPAration in Helmond, the Netherlands. The ceramic membranes can for instance be made of a-alumina.
  • The membranes can for instance include ultrafiltration membranes, with average pore sizes of 20-50 nm or microfiltration (MF) membranes with average pore sizes of about 200-1000 nm.
  • The water can for example be removed from the flue gas by permeation through the membrane, driven by a mild underpressure, e.g., of about 0.05-0.25 bar, and subsequent condensation. Alternatively, or additionally, water can be removed from the flue gas using other types of separators, such as a condenser or desiccants. Optionally, the plant may comprise more than one water selective separator, e.g., in series or in parallel arrangement. The separators can be of the same type or of different types.
  • The plant may include one or more gasifiers to produce syngas by partial combustion of a hydrocarbon feed, such as pulverized coal, biomass, oil or mixtures thereof. Such a gasifier typically comprises a number of burners supplying an oxygen containing gas, such as air, to the gasifier and an outlet for the discharge of syngas. The syngas can subsequently be treated in a CO shift cell to increase the hydrogen content.
  • The power plant can be used for a process for generating power by combustion of syngas in the combustor. Water is separated from flue gas from the combustor and can be reused, e.g., by feeding it to the syngas to increase its hydrogen content before the syngas is fed to the combustor. The water can also be reused as cooling water or as make-up water for a steam cycle. The invention will be elucidated with reference to the accompanying drawing.
