Process Performance of the SCGP at Buggenum IGCC Presented at: Gasification Technologies Conference San Francisco, California October 18-20, 1999 Authors: J. Th. G. M. Eurlings Demkolec B.V. J.E.G. Ploeg Shell International Oil Products B.V. Abstract In 1994 Demkolec BV started-up the 250 MWe, fully integrated, IGCC facility with combined the Gasification and Gas Treating technologies from Shell (Shell Coal Gasification Process, Shell HCN/COS conversion technology and Shell Sulfinol-M Acid Gas Removal) with the Combined Cycle technology from Siemens (Siemens 94.2 gas turbine) and the Air Separation technology from Air Products. Since the “humming” problems of the gasturbine, which plagued initial operations of the Demkolec IGCC have been resolved some three years ago, a review of the SCGP performance in the past three years seemed justified. Since this review concentrates on gasification performance as function of coal properties and operating conditions and on the comparison of test results of the Demkolec facility with those of the SCGP demo/pilot plants, a short presentation on the basic principles of the SCGP and on the relevance of coal properties for SCGP will be included. The performance of support systems as coal feeding, syngas scrubbing and desulphurization, and waste water treatment are reviewed briefly, since a reliable operation of these proved, in some cases, more challenging than the gasification as such. The comparison between the three facilities, Harburg, Houston and Demkolec, showed a stepwise improvement of energy efficiency, due to design modifications, when going from the pilot to the demonstration and to the commercial scale. The overall performance
