Oxy-Combustion Technology Development for Industrial-Scale Boiler Applications
Project No.: DE-NT0005290

   
  Alstom oxy-combustion test facility
 
Alstom oxy-combustion test facility.

Alstom will develop an oxyfuel firing system design specifically for retrofit to tangential-fired (T-fired) boilers and provide information to address the technical gaps for commercial boiler design. Several oxyfuel system design concepts, such as internal flue gas recirculation and various oxygen injection schemes, will be evaluated for cost-effectiveness in satisfying furnace design conditions in a T-fired boiler. The evaluation will use an array of tools, including Alstom's proprietary models and design codes, along with 3-D computational fluid dynamics modeling. A techno-economic analysis will also be performed to assess the overall viability of concepts. Performance testing will be conducted in pilot-scale tests at Alstom’s 15-megawatt (MW) T-Fired Boiler Simulation Facility.
