1 Sulphur Impacts in Coal Fired Oxy-fuel Combustion with CCS (Impacts and Control Options) Terry Wall a, Rohan Stanger a *, Joerg Maier b a Chemical Engineering, University of Newcastle, 238, Australia; b University of Stuttgart, Germany

2 Outline General sulphur impacts Pilot Work Sulphur Thermodynamics Control and Mitigation

13 SO 2 Conversion to SO 3 S SO2 SO3 Con nversion, % IVD Pilot-.5.5 MW MW t t (Maier et et al ) al) IHI Pilot- 1.2 MW t (this study) OXY - AIR - SO 3 Fuel-S Air Oxy %, db ppm ppm Coal A Coal B Coal C Temperature, C 1 C used to estimate SO3 conversion for acid dew point (Okkes, Verhoff & Banchero methods)

14 Mitigation Options Air Separation Unit O 2 Soot Blowing N 2 Low S Coal CO2 compression Coal Handling ESP Sulphur Scrubber Transport (pipeline, truck, etc) Sequestration Site Limestone Sulphur removal in compression circuit Condenser/ Cooler Recycled Flue Gas Sulphur Scrubber Deep Geological Storage

15 Control Strategies SO2 limited - low sulphur coals SO2 removed - FGD (85-98% capture) Limestone addition (<5% capture) High calcium coals (5-1% capture) Cooling/Caustic wash (Air Liquide) In compression (Air Products) In purification Soot-blowers Flue Gas above acid dew point Corrosion resistant materials

16 Conclusion Pilot Sulphur Higher SO2 in Oxy-fuel Higher SO3 & acid dew point Fly Ash & Bottom Ash unaffected Oxy-fuel Deposits higher in S

17 Conclusion- Sulphur Impacts Sulphur Impacts throughout oxy-fuel CCS Oxy-fuel SO 2 - higher conc, lower output SO 2 Concentration ti driver for S products Furnace Products different with recycle SO 3 conversion ~thermodynamics 1 C
