Integrated Pollutant Removal and Oxy-fuel Combustion:A Proven Path for Removal of All Pollutants and CO2 in Power Generation

摘要

Recent demonstrations have shown that ARC's Integrated Pollutant Removal (IPR) combinedwith Jupiter Oxygen's patented combustion process produces three captured material streams.The first stream of contaminant-laden water contains Sox, residual Nox, particulates andparticulate-bound mercury. Captured fluid CO2, ready for sequestration, is the second stream.There can be a low-volume final flue gas stream (depending on the required purity of CO2),containing N2 and O2. Prior to the three capture streams, large particulate matter is removed viaconventional methods. At each stage of the design process, proven technologies and readilyavailable equipment commonly used in other process industries have been applied. A bench-scalesystem has been built and operated to demonstrate the feasibility of cleaning and liquefyingthe flue gas stream and to test the initial design decisions. The operation of the experimentalsystem has validated the initial design and indicated that the system will be practical, with designrefinements. Experimentation and modeling efforts are continuing to enable the team to refinedesign details for further pilot and full-scale demonstrations. Due to the unique combined effortsof both partners (ARC and Jupiter Oxygen); the use of proven technologies justify oxy-fuelcombustion with IPR as a clean coal technology option.
