Oxy-Combustion CO2 Emissions Control
Oxy-Fired Pressurized Fluidized Bed Combustor (Oxy-PFBC)
Project No.: DE-FE0009448

Oxy-PFBC Layout. |
Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne (PWR) is developing an oxy-fired pressurized fluidized bed combustor (Oxy-PFBC). Pressurized combustion with oxygen enables high efficiency through staged combustion, which results in reduced oxygen use, as well as through recovery of high quality heat from exhaust water vapor. In addition, the process can result in reduced costs for utilization or storage of CO2 because the CO2 is available at increased pressure, reducing compression requirements. Overall, pressurized fluidized bed combustion can result in electricity production from coal with near-zero emissions.
PWR will be testing a novel process for pressurized oxy-combustion in a fluidized bed reactor. They will validate performance and plant economics using NETL guidelines, as well as identifying technology gaps that need to be filled to advance the technology. In addition, synergies with supercritical CO2 power cycle research being conducted as part of the DOE/NETL Advanced Turbines Program will be evaluated.
