Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) power plant converts coal to syngas, which is mainly composed with hydrogen and carbon monoxide, by the gasification process and produces electric power by the gas and steam turbine combined cycle power plant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of the syngas to the performance of a gas turbine in a combined cycle power plant. For this purpose, a commercial gas turbine is selected and its performance characteristics are analyzed with three different fuels, i.e., natural gas ($CH_4$), syngas and hydrogen. It is found that different heating values of those fuels and chemical compositions in their combustion gases are the causes in the different performance characteristics.

A study on waste heat utilization of melted slags at pyorlysis, gasification and melting system was performed. Researchers studied heat balance of substances that flow and flow out to the system which is consisted of melting furnace, combustion chamber, and waste heat boiler, then they calculated melting slags' quantity of heat by the first law of thermodynamics. If they use water cursh pit outflow which is gotten by quenching of melting slag as a energy for heating and cooling system, steam of waste heat boiler would be delivered to a steam turbine, making energy, then they will get 67,671,000 won of profit a year. It will take 3 years to repossess the cost that they invested for building it. And, if we predict durability of trash burner is 20 years, we will get approximately 1,150,407,000 won of profits in 17 years without the period when we repossess the building costs.

근래의 무분별한 화석연료의 사용은 에너지자원의 고갈과 환경오염의 문제를 야기하여 이의 해결을 위한 청정신에너지에 대한 연구가 전 세계적으로 집중되고 있다. 이 중 바이오매스는 화석연료보다 비교적 높은 H/C비를 갖기 때문에 신에너지인 수소 또는 Syngas를 생산하기 위한 가스화 특성이 우수한 특징을 가지고 있으며, 구성성분 내 중금속, 타르 질소를 거의 함유하지 않는 점에서 환경오염 저감과 동시에 대체 신에너지로써 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 목질계 바이오매스인 Wood pellet에 대하여 고정층 반응기를 이용하여 질소 분위기하에서 온도 및 Steam/Biomass Ratio(SBR)조건 변화에 따른 가스화 특성으로 고찰하는데 그 목적을 둔다. 온도의 영향에 대하여, 높은 온도 범위에서 수소 수율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SBR에 대한 영향으로서, 상대적 저온 조건에서는 SBR이 1 이상인 조건에서는 수소 수율이 거의 일정한 경향을 보였고, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온에서는 SBR 증가에 따라 증가하는 결과를 얻었다. 또한 $H_2$/CO ratio에 비하여 $H_2/CH_4$ ratio의 변화가 더 큰 결과로부터, 본 실험 조건에서의 반응은 Steam reforming이 Water gas shift reaction 보다 더욱 지배적임을 확인하였다. 최적의 $H_2$ 수율 생산 조건은 열분해의 경우 $800^{\circ}C$이며, 저온 스팀가스화의 경우에는 SBR=1, $900^{\circ}C$의 고온인 경우에는 SBR=3 이었으며, 최대 수소 수율은 $900^{\circ}C$, SBR=3의 조건에서 38.5 vol.%(56.01 L/min kg) 이었다.

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%.

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.

Recently, hydrogen production is attracting attention. In this study, a process simulation was conducted on the gasification reaction to produce hydrogen using rice husks, which are produced as by-products of rice. For this purpose, Chuchung, Odae, and Dongjin rice, which are rice varieties produced in Korea, were compared with the literature. The Korean rice contained more hydrogen and less oxygen compared to the literature. As a result of the simulation, large amounts of H₂ and CH₄ and small amounts of CO₂ and CO were produced accordingly. The conditions to maximize hydrogen production were a gasification reaction temperature of 700℃ and an Steam-to-Biomass (S/B) ratio of 0.4-0.6. However, because the S/B ratio is related to the gasification catalyst degradation, the model needs to be improved through additional experiments in the future. This study showed the possibility of hydrogen production using Korean rice husks, which had not been reported.

본 연구에서는 가스화 반응, 수성가스 전환 반응, 메탄화 반응 등으로 구성된 SNG제조 공정에 대한 해석을 통해, 석탄 촤의 가스화 반응에 의해 생성된 합성가스를 이용한SNG제조 공정 특성을 파악하고자 하였고, SNG제조 공정 중 가스화 공정에 대한 실험을 통해 가스화 공정의 조건에 따른 합성가스 발생 특성 및 메탄화 반응의 특성을 살펴보았다. 석탄 촤를 대상으로 하여 가스화 공정의 $O_2$/feed ratio와 steam/feed ratio 조건 변화에 따른 합성가스 발생 특성을 살펴본 결과 steam을 투입하지 않은 경우 발생되는 합성가스 중 CO의 농도는 55$\sim$65%, $H_2$ 9$\sim$11%, $CO_2$ 24$\sim$29% 범위였고, $O_2$/feed ratio가 증가할수록 CO의 농도는 증가하고, $H_2$와 $CO_2$의 농도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한,steam을 투입하는 경우 합성가스 중 CO의 농도는 20$\sim$37%, $H_2$ 16$\sim$18%, $CO_2$ 42$\sim$55% 범위였다. 메탄화 공정 해석 결과 메탄의 농도를 최대로 얻을 수 있는 조건은 $H_2$/CO 비가 3인 조건이었고 온도가 낮을 수록 생성농도가 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 가스화 특성 실험 결과 및 공정해석 결과, 메탄화 반응에 대한 실험 및 공정해석 결과는 고체시료의 가스화 반응을 통해 발생한 합성가스를 이용한 SNG 제조 공정 특성 파악 및 SNG를 제조하기 위해 필요한 단위 공정에 대한 설계 자료 및 운전조건을 결정할 수 있는 주요 인자로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

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.

In order to analyze the sensitivity on the pulverized coal flames of the several variables, a numerical study was conducted at the gasification process. Eulerian approach is used for the gas phase, whereas lagrangian approach is used for the solid phase. Turbulence is modeled using the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ model. The turbulent combustion incorporates eddy dissipation model. The radiation was solved using a Monte-Carlo method. One-step two-reaction model was employed for the devolatilization of Kideco coal. In pulverized flame of long liftoff height, the initial turbulent intensity seriously affects the position of flame front. The radiation heat transfer and wall heat loss ratio distort the temperature distributions along the reactor wall, but do not influence the reactor performance such as coal conversion, residence time and flame front position. The primary/secondary momentum ratio affects the position of flame front, but the coal burnout is only slightly influenced. The momentum ratio is a variable only associated with the flame stabilization such as flame front position. The addition of steam in the reactor has a detrimental effect on all the aspects, particularly reactor temperature and coal burnout.
