| Popis: | In 2013, CO2 levels surpassed 400 ppm for the first time in recorded history. So, we are facing global warming due to the increase levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). As a method of reducing CO2 emissions from the thermal power plants, there are carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies. Oxyfuel combustion is one of the CO2 Capture technologies and IHI have developed it since 1989. Then, Callide Oxyfuel Project commenced to apply oxyfiring technology in an existing coal fired power plant and to demonstrate an oxyfuel power plant in March, 2008. Demonstration began in 2012 after existing boiler was retrofitted. During the demonstration for approximately three years, many tests were conducted and many data were collected for commercial use. As a result, we confirmed characteristics of oxyfiring such as total heat absorption, combustion characteristics, emissions of NOx, SOx, carbon-in-ash, operational flexibility from 15MWe (50%L) to 30MWe (100%L) and behavior of injected CO2 at the injection site. Total heat absorption of the boiler under oxyfiring was 2 to 3MW higher because of decreasing heat loss in flue gas and rising temperature of boiler feed water by a flue gas cooler. NO was decomposed in the furnace under oxyfiring because flue gas was recirculated. On the other hand, reaction between SO2 and absorbent such as Ca, Mg in ash was not so active regardless of high concentrated SO2 under oxyfiring. Carbon-in-ash was almost 40%~70% in oxyfirng compared with in airfiring because of longer residence time in the furnace. Operational flexibility is important to control oxyfiring operation and it was confirmed that oxyfiring can be operated as well as airfiring. In this paper, operational results are presented in Callide Oxyfuel Project. |
