IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant is becoming more attractive because it allows that various fuels like coal, heavy oil md even residue oil and wood are used in a gas turbine. This paper presents a prediction of performances of gas turbine when low caloric value syngas fuels produced from the IGCC is used in it originally designed with natural gas fuel. Using a systemic method which predicts a gas turbine behavior with limited design data, when natural gas, design fuel and four other types of syngas are used in GE 7FA gas turbine, its performances are predicted on design and off-design conditions.

This study aims to develop an analysis model using a commercial process simulator-ASPEN PLUS for an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) system consisting a dry coal feeding, oxygen-blown entrained gasification process by Shell, a low temperature gas clean up process, a General Electric MS7001FA gas turbine, a three pressure, natural recirculation heat recovery steam generator, a regenerative, condensing steam turbine and a cryogenic air separation unit. The comparison between those results of this study and reference one done by other engineer at design conditions shows consistency which means the soundness of this model. The greater moisture contents in Illinois#6 coal causes decreasing gasifier temperature and the greater ash and sulfur content hurt system efficiency due to increased heat loss. As the results of sensitivity analysis using developed model for the parameters of gasifier operating pressure, steam/coal ratio and oxygen/coal ratio, the gasifier temperature increases while combustible gases (CO＋H2) decreases throughout the pressure going up. In the steam/coal ratio analysis, when the feeding steam increases the maximum combustible gas generation point moves to lower oxygen/coal ratio feeding condition. Finally, for the oxygen/coal ratio analysis, it shows oxygen/coal ratio 0.77 as a optimum operating condition at steam/coal feeding ratio 0.2.

Computational simulation has been performed to design the filtration system for Korea model IGCC demonstration plant. The filtration system for optimal design has four effective filters corresponding to the clusters composed of a group of ceramic candle filters. It was analyzed how the different entrance geometry influences the flow field and the particle behavior in the filtration system. The particle loading is minimum when the gas mixed with particles flows into the filter vessel with a shroud tube through a tangential inlet. However, the particle loading is maximum when the gas with particles enters the filter vessel through a normal inlet which a entrance tube extended from. By controling adequately both conditions of inflow, the filtration system can be operated optimally to prolong the filter life-time and to save the energy for cleaning filters.

In this study, to suggest an efficient method of using coal gasification slag(CGS), a byproduct from integrated gasification combined cycle(IGCC), as a combined fine aggregate for concrete mixture, the diverse performances of concrete mixtures with combined fine aggregates of CGS, river sand, and crushed sand were evaluated. Additionally, using CGS, the reduction of the hydration heat and the strength developing performance were analyzed to provide a method for reducing the heat of hydration of mass concrete by using combined fine aggregate with CGS and replacing fly ash with cement. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: as a method of recycling CGS from IGCC as concrete fine aggregate, a combination of CGS with crushed sand offers advantages for the concrete mixture. Additionally, when the CGS combined aggregate is used with low-heat-mix designed concrete with fly ash, it has the synergistic effect of reducing the hydration heat of mass concrete compared to the low-heat-designed concrete mixture currently in wide use.

This study analyzed the basic characteristics of mortar using CGS modified by pretreatment. As a result of the analysis, it was found that CGS after reforming can be partially replaced with fine aggregates to solve the existing air volume reduction problem when used, and can contribute positively in terms of securing fluidity and improving strength. Therefore, it is considered necessary to verify as a functional material of CGS through concrete durability experiments as a future task.

Computational studies have been performed to analyze the particle loadings onto the filters according to the different inflow pattern of dusty gas and the flow uniformities on the filter surface of back-blown gas at different permeability of porous media setup at the filter outlet. This is preliminary study to find how we can reduce the regeneration time and improve the regeneration efficiency of filters with dust layer.

중잔유는 다른 유류나 석탄에 비해 높은 황 함유율을 나타내는 특징을 지닌 원유 정제 후 남는 잔여물질로서 환경적인 측면에서 볼 때, 유황제거효율이 높은 시스템의 연료로 사용하는 것이 타당하고, 지속적으로 강화되고 있는 대기오염물질의 환경규제를 만족시키기 위해 가스화 복합발전 시스템의 연료로서 사용하는 것이 중잔유의 활용도 측면에서도 매우 유리한 점을 가지게 된다. 이미 기술 선진국을 중심으로 중잔유의 활용방안에 대한 연구 및 실용화 단계가 진행중이며, 특히, 전량 수입에 의존하고 있는 원유의 활용을 극대화해야 하는 우리의 입장에서는 환경적인 측면 못지않게 경제적인 측면도 고려하여 연료로서의 중잔유의 사용 타당성을 판단하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 하겠다.(중략)

IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) system is candidates which can solve the environmental problems including global warming, since it can be easily combined with CCS(Carbon Capture System). In this research, combustion instability characteristics were studied at various fuel which are composed of $H_2/CH_4/CO$ mixture. Mode analysis for instabilities observed experimentally was conducted and the linearly increasing tendency of frequency was observed as the hydrogen content in fuel increases.

In the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC), the stability of the gasifier has strong influences on the rest of the plant as it supplies the feed to the rest of the power generation system. In order to ensure a safe and stable operation of the entrained-flow gasifier and for protection of the gasifier wall from the high internal temperature, the solid slag layer thickness should be regulated tightly but its control is hampered by the lack of on-line measurement for it. In this study, a previously published dynamic simulation model of a Shell-type gasifier is reproduced and two different linear model predictive control strategies are simulated and compared for multivariable control of the entrained-flow gasifier. The first approach is to control a measured secondary variable as a surrogate to the unmeasured slag thickness. The control results of this approach depended strongly on the unmeasured disturbance type. In other words, the slag thickness could not be controlled tightly for a certain type of unmeasured disturbance. The second approach is to estimate the unmeasured slag thickness through the Kalman filter and to use the estimate to predict and control the slag thickness directly. Using the second approach, the slag thickness could be controlled well regardless of the type of unmeasured disturbances.

The adsorption properties of the activated carbon-based adsorbents were studied to remove COS emitted from $SO_2$ catalytic reduction process on the integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) system in this work. Transition metal supported catalysts and mixed metal oxide catalysts were used for the $SO_2$ catalytic reduction. The mechanism of COS produced from the $SO_2$ reduction and the COS concentration s according to the reaction temperature were investigated. In this study, an activated carbon and a modified activated carbon doped with KOH were used to remove the very low concentration of COS effectively. The adsorption rate and the breakthrough time of COS were measured by a thermo gravity analyzer (TGA, Cahn Balance) and a fixed bed flow reactor equipped with GC-pulsed flammable photometric detector (PFPD), respectively. It was confirmed that the COS breakthrough time of the activated carbon doped with KOH was longer than that of an activated carbon. In conclusion, the modified-activated carbon having a high surface area showed a high adsorption rate of COS produced from the $SO_2$ reduction.
