IGCC Plant Efficiencies
? Efficiency is greater than competing combustiontechnologies for all feedstocks
? Plant efficiency depends on feedstock carbonconversion, heat recovery, gas turbine choice, anddegree of integration
? A well-integrated heavy oil gasification plant usingthe latest advanced turbines will approach 47%thermal efficiency (LHV), including oxygen plantrequirements
? An efficiency of 50% will be achievable in the nearfuture using technologies currently being tested
15
IGCC Availability
? Availability includes planned and unplanneddown time
? Typical power availability is 85-90% from primary feed(depending upon feed type), 92-95% with auxiliary fuel
? All rotating equipment (other than air separation unitcompressors, combustion turbine and steam turbine)are spared
? Critical elements are gasifier and combustion turbine
? Availability of power and hydrogen can be improved to100% by spare trains based on economic analysis
16
Emissions
? Environmental performance bests competingcombustion technologies for all feedstocks
– Sulfur recovery to >> 99%
– NOx levels controllable to < 10 ppm
– CO2 level lower due to higher efficiency, CO2recoverable for sales/sequestration
– Particulate emissions < 10 ppm
– Feedstock metals/minerals produced assalable concentrate or non-leachable slag

Gas TurbineNOx Control Technologies
? Primary control is the addition of inerts to gasturbine flame to reduce flame temperature– Steam– Water– Nitrogen
? Low-NOx burners for low BTU gas underdevelopment to eliminate need to add inerts
? Primary controls reduce NOx to 9-25 ppm
? Further NOx reduction to 5-9 ppm possible byselective catalytic reduction (SCR)
19
Sulfur Control Technologies
? MDEA acid gas removal plus Claus plant and tailgas treating achieves ~ 98% sulfur recovery
? Catalytic conversion of COS to H2S improvesMDEA performance and total sulfur recovery >98%
? Combination of approaches gives 99.8% recovery
? Other acid gas removal processes are Purisol,Rectisol, Selexol, Sulfinol
? Use of oxygen rather than air reduces size ofClaus Plant and improves performance

Pernis IGCC Plant
Three-Train Gasification UnitFluor provided engineering, procurement, and construction management for this three-train gasification unit, which was part of Shell’s Per+ project at its Pernisrefinery. The Shell gasification process is used to gasify 1,656 metric tons/day of vacuum-flashed cracked residual oil to a syngas. Part of this syngas is used toproduce 285 metric tons/day (118 million standard cubic feet per day) of hydrogen for the hydrocracker. The balance of the syngas is used, after sulfur removal,as fuel for combined-cycle power production via General Electric 6B combustion turbines. The start-up of this gasifier plant is highly automatic and is believed tobe the most advanced control system ever applied to a heavy oil gasifier.Soot Ash Recovery UnitShell was committed to the development of a technology that would reduce the cost of recycling and reprocessing unconverted carbonfrom the gasifiers as partof the Per+ project. Fluor assisted Shell with the pioneer development and detailed design of the soot ash recovery unit (SARU) technology. This includedfiltration of the soot slurry from the gasifiers , followerd by multiple-hearth furnace processing to produce a metals concentrate high in vanadium and nickel,which is of interest to metals reclaimers.Minimum Disruption to OperationsThe project is closely integrated with Shell’s existing operations, and due to constraints regarding site space availability, required relocation of various storageand service facilities. Fluor worked closely with Shell and several other engineering contractors to complete the project with minimum disruption to ongoingrefinery operations.

Texaco Petroleum Coke IGCC
Process DescriptionThis refinery-based gasification plant (using Texaco technology) consumes 180 tons per day of low/negative-value petroleum coke produced in the refinery and10 tons per day of refinery hazardous waste streams, such as API separator bottoms, acid soluble oil, primary sludge, and phenolic residue, to produce 35megawatts electricity and 180,000 pounds per hour of steam for export to the refinery. The power block consists of one General Electric 6B gas turbine that hasair extraction and nitrogen injection capabilities. The extracted air is fed to the air separation plant to produce the oxygen required for the gasification process,with the nitrogen returned to the gas turbine for NOx reduction. The syngas to the gas turbine is supplemented with natural gas and has the capability of operatingon natural gas only. This gasification cogeneration unit, by converting low-value petroleum coke and refinery wastes into electricity and steam, makes therefinery self-sufficient for its energy needs.
Environmental and Economic BenefitsThe Texaco gasification process proved to be an economic solution for the beneficial destruction of coke and waste materials and a significantly more attractiveoption than incineration or landfilling. Texaco achieved an important regulatory victory when the Environmental ProtectionAgency formally allowed the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to consider the gasification unit a refinery process rather than a waste treatment unit.This allowed for refinery wastes to be fed to the gasifier without being designated as hazardous waste. Also, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions aremuch lower than competing technologies that use coke as the feedstock The process produces a non-leachable slag that comprises only 1 percent of the originalcoke. Texaco expects to save from $12 million to $14 million per year in utility costs and$1 million per year in waste shipment and disposal costs.
Fluor’s RoleAs part of the engineering, procurement, and construction management activities, Fluor was responsible for overall plant design and integration of various units,such as the gasification plant (licensed by Texaco), air separation unit (supplied by Praxair), combustion turbine (supplied by General Electric), and the slurrypreparation unit (suppleid by Svedela).
