Abstract

A number of coal gasifiers applicable to IGCC are under development or at the demonstration stage. These include moving bed, fluidised bed, entrained flow and molten bath types. The efficiency of an IGCC system increases as the temperature of the gas entering the turbine increases. Practical temperatures are currently limited by turbine blade materials and by the system used to clean the gas prior to entering the turbine. Work on hot gas cleaning systems, turbine blade materials and blade cooling techniques are under way. The main requirements of the gasification system are to provide a high temperature, high pressure gas with a minimum of impurities.
