3. Combustion stability in Gas Turbine<br />

Stigsson [108] <strong>an</strong>d Larson [109] noted that from <strong>the</strong> experience accumulated in<br />

<strong>Integrated</strong> Gasification Combined Cycles (IGCC) <strong>an</strong>d experimental work, combustion stability is<br />

not a major issue when <strong>the</strong> fuel calorific value is above 4-6 MJ/m 3 n (at normal conditions <strong>of</strong> 1<br />

atm, 0°C). Syngas produced with pure oxygen gasification has a heating value <strong>of</strong> 8-20 MJ/m 3 n.<br />

In our design considered, no particular flame stability problems are envisaged.<br />

4. Steam Turbine:<br />

There are two basic steam turbine designs: back pressure <strong>an</strong>d condensing. We chose back<br />

pressure steam turbine <strong>an</strong>d let <strong>the</strong> steam leaving <strong>the</strong> turbine go into <strong>the</strong> steam distribution system<br />

to meet <strong>the</strong> steam requirement from pulp/paper process dem<strong>an</strong>d.<br />

3.5.4 <strong>Design</strong> Main Issues<br />

1. Recovery Heat from Syngas Cooling<br />

In our design, we used a syngas cooler to recovery heat to generate electricity o<strong>the</strong>r th<strong>an</strong><br />

to use a water quench to recovery chemicals. From Table 29 we c<strong>an</strong> see a large part <strong>of</strong> energy<br />

(54.4 MWe) was recovered from raw syngas.<br />

Table 29: Power from Syngas cooled steam.<br />

Flow Rate <strong>of</strong> steam kg/s 159.3<br />

Power MWe 54.37<br />

2. Recovery Energy from Bi<strong>of</strong>uel Syn<strong>the</strong>sis Waist Steam<br />

In F-T diesel syn<strong>the</strong>sis process, a large flow rate <strong>of</strong> waist steam was generated. We<br />

recovered this part <strong>of</strong> energy by sending <strong>the</strong> steam to HRSG to be superheated <strong>an</strong>d <strong>the</strong>n sending<br />

it to <strong>the</strong> steam turbine to generate electricity. This steam could generate 22 MWe electricity.<br />

Table 30: Power from F-T diesel syn<strong>the</strong>sis waist steam.<br />

Flow Rate <strong>of</strong> steam kg/s 126.8<br />

Power MWe 21.77<br />

3. Recovery Heat from HRSG Exhaust Gas<br />

Exhaust gas from HRSG still was in high temperature (210°C). We designed to recover<br />

this heat to saturate water in a water heat exch<strong>an</strong>ger. The saturated water <strong>the</strong>n was sent to <strong>the</strong><br />

syngas cooler to generate steams. This part <strong>of</strong> heat recovery increased <strong>the</strong> system efficiency.<br />
