OPERATING EXPERIENCE AT THE WABASH RIVER COAL GASIFICATION REPOWERING PROJECT 1998 Gasification Technologies Conference

چکیده
The Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project (WRCGRP), a joint venture between Dynegy Power Corp., and PSI Energy, Inc., began commercial operation in November of 1995. The Project, selected by the United States Department of Energy (DOE) under the Clean Coal Program (Round IV) represents the largest operating coal-gasification combined-cycle plant in the world. This demonstration project has allowed PSI Energy to repower a 1950s vintage steam turbine and install a new syngas-fired combustion turbine to provide 262 MW (net) of electricity in a clean, efficient manner in a commercial utility setting while utilizing locally mined high-sulfur Indiana bituminous coal. In doing so, the project is also demonstrating some novel technology while advancing the commercialization of integrated coal-gasification combined-cycle technology. This paper will discuss the improvements to the process and operations of the gasification and power block as a result of experiences gained from commercial operating experience of the Wabash Project.

Rubber wood (Ficus elastica) is one the biomass waste that can be used as raw material for a gasification process and has a calorific value of 4,069 cal/gram. Gasification is a process to convert a solid fuel to syngas (CO, CH4, and H2) through a combustion process using limited air between 20% to 40% of air stoichiometry. Depending on the direction of airflow, the gasifiers are classified as u...
