Abstract
Abstract In this paper pre-combustion CO 2 -capture via porous ceramic membranes in lignite fired IGCC power plants is investigated. Four different cases were configured with Aspen Plus and Epsilon, including a reference case without carbon capture and three cases with carbon capture. The capture technologies were a porous ceramic membrane and a ceramic membrane reactor with simultaneous CO 2 separation and CO-shift. Two different water gas-shift configurations were combined with the membrane reactor. Sensitivity analyses of membrane area and permeation pressure were done for the capture cases to investigate the influence on membrane and power plant performance and identify the optimum conditions from an energetic viewpoint. All capture concepts showed capture rates over97.5% and the achievable efficiency losses lay between 6.8 and 9.4%-points.
