탄소 개질반응은 $1200^{\circ}C$(도1) 이상에서 모든 탄화물질과 수분 또는 $CO_2$ 사이에서 흡열/환원반응이 일어나서 합성가스를 생성한다. 개질반응로는 산화반응로와 연결되어, 수소가스와 CO 가스의 혼합인,합성가스가 산화반응로 내에서 산소가스와 연소하여 열과 $H_2O+CO_2$를 생성하여 환원 반응로 내로 유입되어, 환원 반응로를 $1200^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 유지하고, $H_2O$와 $CO_2$는 석탄 속의 모든 탄소를 CO로 개질한다(도2). 동시에 수소가스가 생성되어 합성가스를 생성하게 된다. 석탄 속의 비탄소 물질인 슬래그(Slag)는 개질로 내에 남게 되는데, 개질로를 슬래그 융점(non-fluid point) 이하에서 고체상태로 포집함으로서 Fly-ash로 처리된다. 개질로 내의 온도를 $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$(석탄 슬래그 융점)로 유지함으로서 개질반응이 지속되어 합성가스가 생성된다. IGCC 시스템에서는 합성가스를 가스터빈 속에서 $O_2E가스와 연소하여 고온의 가스를 생성하여 터빈을 가동해 발전을 하고 배출가스를 $1500{\sim}1700^{\circ}C$에서 배출한다. 재래식 IGCC(도4)에서는 ${\sim}1500^{\circ}C$의 배출가스를 열교환 시스템에 의해 증기를 생성하여 Steam turbine(증기터빈)을 가동하여 추가 전력을 생산했다. 그러나 본 시스템에서는 배출가스(증기와 $CO_2E 가스)를 위의 개질로에 유입하여 개질로 온도를 $1200{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$로 유지함으로서 더 많은 합성가스를 생성 하게 된다(도3). 이렇게 하여 Oxidation-reduction cycle을 형성하게 된다. 새로운 IGCC 시스템에서 가스 터빈의 배출가스가 석탄 개질로에 연결되고 석탄개질로의 합성가스 출구가 가스터빈의 가스 입구에 연결됨으로서,외부에너지 주입 없이 지속 가능한 가스화 반응과 터빈 사이클(Cycle)을 완성하여 IGCC 시스템의 석탄 열효율을 1단계 상승시켰다. 이렇게 설계된 석탄가스화기는 Lurgi형 석탄가스화 기와 달리 석탄개질반응의 효율을 높일 수 있고, 슬래그 처리가 간단하기 때문에 석탄가스화기가 소형화 될 수 있으며 슬래그(Slag)용융에 따른 석탄가스화기의 외벽손상을 피할 수 있다.

In the power generation industry, various efforts are needed to cope with tightening regulation on carbon dioxide emission. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is a relatively environmentally friendly power generation method using coal. Moreover, pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture is possible in the IGCC system. Therefore, much effort is being made to develop advanced IGCC systems. However, removal of $CO_2$ prior to the gas turbine may affect the system performance and operation because the fuel flow, which is supplied to the gas turbine, is reduced in comparison with normal IGCC plants. This study predicts, through a parametric analysis, system performances of both an IGCC plant using normal syngas and a plant with $CO_2$ capture. Performance characteristics are compared and influence of $CO_2$ capture is discussed. By removing $CO_2$ from the syngas, the heating value of the fuel increases, and thus the required fuel flow to the gas turbine is reduced. The resulting reduction in turbine flow lowers the compressor pressure ratio, which alleviates the compressor surge problem. The performance of the bottoming cycle is not influenced much.

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 thermodynamic simulation method is developed for the process design and the performance evaluation of the gas turbine in IGCC power plant. The present study adopts four clean coal gases derived from four different coal gasification and gas clean-up processes as IGCC gas turbine fuel, and considers the integration design condition of the gas turbine with ASU(Air Separation Unit). In addition, the present simulation method includes compressor performance map and expander choking models for considering the off-design effects due to coal gas firing and ASU integration. The present prediction results show that the efficiency and the net power of the IGCC gas turbines are seperior to those of the natural gas fired one but they are decreased with the air extraction from gas turbine to ASU. The operation point of the IGCC gas turbine compressor is shifted to the higher pressure ratio condition far from the design point by reducing the air extraction ratio. The exhaust gas of the IGCC gas turbine has more abundant wast heat for the heat recovery steam generator than that of the natural gas fired gas turbine.

In this paper, two types of integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants using either an air separation unit (ASU) or an ion transport membrane (ITM), which provide the oxygen required in the gasification process, were simulated and their thermodynamic performance was compared. Also, the influence of adopting a pre-combustion $CO_2$ capture in the downstream of the gasification process on the performance of the two systems was examined. The system using the ITM exhibits greater net power output than the system using the ASU. However, its net plant efficiency is slightly lower because of the additional fuel consumption required to operate the ITM at an appropriate operating temperature. This efficiency comparison is based on the assumption of a moderately high purity (95%) of the oxygen generated from the ASU. However, if the oxygen purity of the ASU is to be comparable to that of the ITM, which is over 99%, the ASU based IGCC system would exhibit a lower net efficiency than the ITM based system.
