Abstract
Bechtel National (Reston, VA) have undertaken a FEED study for retrofitting a 2x2x1 natural gas-fired gas turbine combined cycle power plant with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) for CO2 storage/utilization. The comprehensive programme of work covers the integration of the retrofitted carbon capture and compression plant to the combined cycle power plant, together with the detailed design of an amine-based conventional absorber-stripper scrubbing system with a non-proprietary solvent, 35% w/w MEA. Supporting studies have analysed options for single- and two-stage thermal reclaiming and also examined discrepancies between process modelling packages and the possible scope for alternative trade-offs between capital and operating costs. Given that modelling alone cannot predict commercially-important factors such as solvent management costs a long-term pilot test programme is strongly recommended, with outline details supplied for pilot size and the testing period.
