Power from PRB - Four Conceptual IGCC Plant Designs Using the Transport Gasifier

摘要

This paper presents the results of four detailed system and economic studies of an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant based on the Transport Gasifier technology. Southern Company is developing the Transport Gasifier and related systems for commercial application in the power industry in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and Kellogg, Brown and Root, Inc. (KBR). At the engineering-scale Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF) in Wilsonville, AL, several coals have been successfully gasified in both oxygen-blown and air-blown operation of the Transport Gasifier.
