There is potential method to utilize the liquid carbon dioxide ($LCO_2$) in coal gasification plants. The $LCO_2$ could be used to effectively transport coal particles instead of conventional carrier such as liquid water ($H_2O$) particularly in wet-fed gasifier. However, there is a lack of fundamental study on the atomization behavior of $LCO_2$ coal slurry under high pressure condition. In this study, the flashing spray characteristics of a coal mixture with $LCO_2$ was examined during a throttling process by using a flow visualization system. The spray of coal water slurry which is in the Rayleigh-type break up mode was significantly different. This difference indicates that the coal water slurry did not effectively transport the coal, as compared to $LCO_2$ coal slurry.

하수슬러지를 에너지 열원으로 사용하기 위해서는 연료로서 청정해야 하고 따라서 수슬러지 중에 중금속이나 불순물이 없거나 미량이어야 한다. SOCA(Sludge-Oil- Coal-Agglomerates) 연료는 이러한 요구를 만족시키며, 고체 연료로서의 SOCA는 청정에너지를 생산하기 위해 가스화될 수 있다. 습윤 촉매가스화는 수분을 포함하는 SOCA에 대해 적절한 공정인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 SOCA 연료 제조시 석탄이 사용됨에 따라, 촉매가스화 공정에서 촉매를 피독시킬 수 있는 황 성분이 SOCA 연료에 약 40~50% 정도 포함된다. 따라서, 가스화를 위한 적절한 촉매를 사용하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구 결과에서는 칼슘이 SOCA의 가스화에 이상적인 촉매로 선택되었다. 또한 최적의 가스화는 적절한 수분을 공급하였을 때, $850^{\circ}C$에서 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 연료에 포함된 질소 성분은 궁극적으로 SOCA의 가스화에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 그 결과 가스화는 HCN의 발생을 최소화하고 $N_2$ 및 $NH_3$로의 전환을 향상시키는 방향으로 운전되어야 한다.

IGCC(Integrated Coal Gasification and Combined Cycle) plants can be among the most advanced and environmental systems for electric energy generation from various feed stocks and is becoming more and more popular in new power generation fields. In this work, the performance of IGCC plants employing Shell gasification technology and a GE 7FB gas turbine engine was simulated using IPSEpro open-equation modeling environment for different operating conditions. Performance analyses and comparisons of all operating cases were performed based on the design cases. Discussions were focused on gas composition, syngas production rate and overall performance. The validation of key steady-state performance values calculated from the process models were compared with values from the provided heat and material balances for Shell coal gasification technology. The key values included in the validation included the inlet coal flow rate; the mass flow rate, heating value, and composition of major gas species (CO, H2, CH4, H2O, CO2, H2S, N2, Ar) for the syngas exiting the gasifier island; and the HP and MP steam flows exiting the gasifier island.

A gasification process with pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture process, which converts coal into environment-friendly synthetic gas, might be promising option for sustainable energy conversion. In the coal gasification for power generation, coal is converted into $H_2$, CO and $CO_2$. To reduce the cost of $CO_2$ capture and to maximize hydrogen production, the removal of CO and the additional production of hydrogen might be needed. In this study, a 2l/min water gas shift system for a coal gasifier has been studied. To control the concentration of major components such as $H_2$, CO, and $CO_2$, MFCs were used in experimental apparatus. The gas concentration in these experiments was equal with syngas concentration from dry coal gasifiers ($H_2$: 25-35, CO: 60-65, $CO_2$: 5-15 vol%). The operation conditions of the WGS system were $200-400^{\circ}C$, 1-10bar. Steam/Carbon ratios were between 2.0 and 5.0. The commercial catalysts were used in the high temperature shift reactor and the low temperature shift reactor. As steam/carbon ratio increased, the conversion (1-$CO_{out}/CO_{in}$) increased from 93% to 97% at the condition of CO: 65, $H_2$: 30, $CO_2$: 5%. However the conversion decreased with increasing of gas flow and temperature. The gas concentration from LTS was $H_2$: 54.7-60.0, $CO_2$: 38.8-44.9, CO: 0.3-1%.

석탄가스화를 기반으로 한 발전(IGCC 발전) 및 화학원료 제조공정의 상업화 관건은 화석연료인 원유 또는 천연가스를 기반으로 생산되는 경우와 비교하여 경제성을 확보할 수 있는지 여부이다. 경제성 확보를 위한 가장 현실적인 방법으로는 석탄 가스화를 통해 얻어진 합성가스로부터 2개 이상의 생산물(예: 발전과 화학원료를 동시 생산)을 병산(coproduction 또는 poly-generation)하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 석탄 가스화를 기반으로 하여 발전과 수송용, 발전용 및 가정용 연료로 사용이 가능한 DME(dimethyl ether)를 병산하는 공정에 대한 경제성 분석을 실시하였다. 경제성 분석을 위한 병산 공정에서는 250 MW 전력생산 연간 30만 톤의 DMZ 생산을 기준으로 하였다. 병산 공정에서 DME 판매가격이 50만원/ton인 경우, 전기 생산원가는 34.8~58.4원/kWh으로 SMP(계통한계가격) 가중평균인 150.69원/kwh(2013년 1월~12월까지의 평균값)의 33~58% 수준으로 산정되었다. 따라서, DME 판매가격이 적정하게 유지될 경우 석탄 IGCC+DME 병산공정은 IGCC 단독 발전과 비교하여 경제성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 현재 중국에서 DME 판매가격이 900,000원/톤 내외이므로, 전력과 DME를 병산할 경우, IGCC 단독으로 전력을 생산할 경우와 비교하여 전력 생산 원가를 월등하게 낮출 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이와 같이 석탄 가스화를 기반으로 한 병산 공정을 통해 전력과 DME를 병산하는 시스템에서, 시장 여건에 따라 전력과 DME 생산비율 제어가 가능하고, 석탄 가스화기 및 정제 시스템을 공통 설비로 활용함으로써, 개별적으로 생산하는 것보다 생산 원가를 낮출 수 있다는 결과를 얻었다.

This study was conducted for engineering optimization for the gasification process which is the key factor for success of Taean IGCC gasification plant which has been driven forward under the government support in order to expand to supply new and renewable energy and diminish the burden of the responsibility for the reduction of the green house gas emission. The gasification process consists of coal milling and drying, pressurization and feeding, gasification, quenching and HP syngas cooling, slag removal system, dry flyash removal system, wet scrubbing system, and primary water treatment system. The configuration optimization is essential for the high efficiency and the cost saving. For this purpose, it was designed to have syngas cooler to recover the sensible heat as much as possible from the hot syngas produced from the gasifier which is the dry-feeding and entrained bed slagging type and also applied with the oxygen combustion and the first stage cylindrical upward gas flow. The pressure condition inside of the gasifier is around 40~45Mpg and the temperature condition is up to $1500{\sim}1700^{\circ}C$. It was designed for about 70% out of fly ash to be drained out throughout the quenching water in the bottom part of the gasifier as a type of molten slag flowing down on the membrane wall and finally become a byproduct over the slag removal system. The flyash removal system to capture solid particulates is applied with HPHT ceramic candle filter to stand up against the high pressure and temperature. When it comes to the residual tiny particles after the flyash removal system, wet scurbbing system is applied to finally clean up the solids. The washed-up syngas through the wet scrubber will keep around $130{\sim}135^{\circ}C$, 40~42Mpg and 250 ppmv of hydrochloric acid(HCl) and hydrofluoric acid(HF) at maximum and it is turned over to the gas treatment system for removing toxic gases out of the syngas to comply with the conditions requested from the gas turbine. The result of this study will be utilized to the detailed engineering, procurement and manufacturing of equipments, and construction for the Taean IGCC plant and furthermore it is the baseline technology applicable for the poly-generation such as coal gasification(SNG) and liquefaction(CTL) to reinforce national energy security and create new business models.

The gasification technology is a very flexible and versatile technology to produce a wide variety products such as electricity, steam, hydrogen, Fisher-Tropsch(FT) diesels, Dimethyl Ether(DME), methanol and SNG(Synthetic Natural Gas) with near-zero pollutant emissions. Gasification converts coal and other low-grade feedstocks such as biomass, wastes, residual oil, petroleum coke, etc. to a very clean and usable syngas. Syngas is produced from gasifier including CO, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $N_2$, particulates and smaller quantities of $CH_4$, $NH_3$, $H_2S$, COS and etc. After removing pollutants, syngas can be variously used in energy and environment fields. The pilot-scale coal gasification system has been operated since 1994 at Ajou University in Suwon, Korea. The pilot-scale gasification facility consists of the coal gasifier, the hot gas filtering system, and the acid gas removal (AGR) system. The acid gas such as $H_2S$ and COS is removed in the AGR system before generating electricity by gas engine and producing chemicals like Di-methyl Ether(DME) in the catalytic reactor. The designed operation temperature and pressure of the $H_2S$ removal system are below $50^{\circ}C$ and 8 kg/$cm^2$. The iron chelate solution is used as an absorbent. $H_2S$ is removed below 0.1 ppm in the H2S removal system.

IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) plants are among the most advanced and effective systems for electric energy generation. From a control perspective, IGCC plants represent a significant challenge: complex reactions, highly integrated control to simultaneously satisfy production, controllability, operability and environmental objectives. While all these requirements seem clearly to demand a multivatiable, model predictive approach, not many applications can be easily found in the literature. This paper describes the IGCC dynamic simulation that is capable of simulating plant startup, shutdown, normal, and abnormal operation and engineering studies. This high fidelity dynamic models contain the detailed process design data to produce realistic responses to process operation and upset. And the simulation is used by engineers to evaluate the transient performance and produce graphical information indicating the response of the process under study conditions.

본 연구에서는 상용공정모사기인 ASPEN PLUS를 이용하여 건식탄공급, 산소사용 분류층 가스화기인 Shell가스화공정, 저온가스정제공정, GE MS7001FA가스터빈, 삼압.자연순환식 폐열회수보일러, 재열복수식 증기터빈 및 극저온 산소분리공정을 채용한 IGCC시스템에 대하여 성능해석 모델을 개발하고 시스템 성능해석을 위한 민감도분석을 수행하였다. 본 모델의 적정성은 설계조건에서 대상탄을 이용한 정상상태 성능해석 결과를 타 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교함으로서 검증하였다.$^{1)}$ . Illinois#6탄을 대상으로 수행한 시뮬레이션 결과는 투입되는 탄에 함유된 수분의 양이 증가함에 따라 가스화기의 온도가 감소하며, 회분 및 황이 많은 경우에 현열손실이 증가하여 시스템 효율이 감소하였다. 개발된 모델을 이용하여 가스화기의 운전압력, 증기/석탄비율 및 산소/석탄비율에 따르는 시스템의 민감도분석을 수행한 결과 운전압력 증가에 따라 가스화기 노내온도가 상승하며, 가연성가스(CO＋H2) 생성율이 감소하였다. 증기/석탄비율 변화분석에서는 공급증기의 양을 변화시키면 가연성가스의 최고생성점이 보다 낮은 산소/석탄비율에서 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 또한 산소/석탄비율 변화분석에서는 증기/석탄 공급비율 0.2에서 산소/석탄 공급비율이 0.77인 경우에 가장 최적의 운전조건임을 알 수 있었다.
