The document discusses a draft technical proposal for a post-combustion CO2 capture feasibility study at the Peterhead Power Station in Scotland. It provides a basic description of the likely PCCC plant solution and what would be included in a feasibility study.

The proposed PCCC plant solution involves using liquid chemical absorbents to remove CO2 from flue gas based on a process established in the petrochemical industry. The main components described include flue gas conditioning, booster fans, direct contact coolers, the CO2 removal system and CO2 product handling.

A feasibility study would assess technical feasibility, develop a process flow diagram and mass balances, identify hazards, provide capital and operating cost estimates, recommend strategic spares, identify any required supplementary studies, develop a risk register and scope and quote for a pre-FEED study.

1. Introduction
Post Combustion CO2 Capture (PCCC) is a process which uses liquid chemical
absorbents to remove CO 2 from flue gas. The process is based on a well established
chemical processing technique used in the petrochemical industry to clean sour fuel gas
and has been adapted to meet the environmental challenges of CO 2 emission
abatement in the fossil fuel combustion power sector.

It is understood that SSE has completed a Preliminary Site Feasibility Study for the
provision of a PCCC plant at Peterhead Power Station and is now seeking proposals for
a Feasibility Study. Doosan Power Systems is pleased to provide this brief technical
CDP 8302

write up as part of its submission. The aim of this submission is to provide SSE with a
basic description of the likely PCCC plant solution and also to offer a simple explanation
of what Doosan Power Systems propose to provide in response to SSE’s requested
deliverables.

2. Process Description of Main Components


The following is a simplified generic description of the amine based PCCC process. This
process would be tailored to meet the specific needs of SSE Peterhead, in particular
adapting the process to capture CO 2 from the flue gas from the Siemens Gas Turbine.
CDP 8302

2.1 PCCC Booster Fan


A dedicated PCCC Booster Fan provides the additional head required to pass flue gas
through the PCCC flue gas system, including any necessary pre-treatment such as DCC
column and the CO2 absorber column (with associated washing sections) before being
vented into the atmosphere either via a stack on top of the CO2 absorber or via existing
stack.

2.2 PCCC Direct Contact Cooler


Optimal PCCC performance is achieved at a relatively low flue gas temperature, i.e.
30°C – 40°C. The Direct Contact Cooler (DCC) is used to reduce the flue gas
CDP 8302

temperature to the optimal temperature before it enters the CO 2 absorber column. The
DCC consists of a packed bed column in which cold water is circulated flowing from top
to bottom with the flue gases flowing in a counter current arrangement from bottom to
top to maximise heat transfer. Any water make–up (i.e. initial fill) to this circuit will be
provided from the process water supply though it should be noted that this will generally
only be needed for initial filling as the DCC unit will generate an excess of water due to
the condensation formed from the reduction in flue gas temperature. A proportion of this
water will be utilised by the downstream capture process.

2.3 The CO2 Removal System


CO2 Absorber Column
CDP 8302

The CO2 absorber column consists of a multi-stage packed column where CO 2-lean
solvent is pumped into the top of a packed column with CO 2-laden flue gas flowing
counter-current from the bottom. The absorber unit is designed so that typically 80%-
90% of the flue gas CO2 is absorbed by the solvent. The resultant CO 2-rich solvent is
collected at the bottom of the absorber from where it is pumped through a filter system
prior to being heated within the lean/rich heat exchanger and passed onwards to the
stripper column.

Up to two stages of water wash sections may be located above the absorption stages in
the absorption column. The first stage is used to recover evaporated/entrained solvent
and derivatives and the second stage is needed to control ammonia (NH 3) emission
levels before the remaining flue gas (termed ‘offgas’) can be vented to atmosphere.
CDP 8302

Where fresh solvent is required, it is introduced upstream of the absorber in the CO 2-


lean solvent line from the solvent storage tanks. Mixing is guaranteed by dosing the
fresh solvent into a mixing vessel which will continuously have 10% of the total
circulating solvent flow passing through it.

Lean / Rich Heat Exchanger

In this heat exchanger hot CO 2-lean solvent from the CO2 Stripper is utilised to partially
heat the CO2-rich solvent from the absorber before it enters the CO 2 Stripper Column.
This level of heating initiates the stripping process prior to admission to the stripper
column as some of the CO2 is liberated as a gas towards the hot end of the exchanger.
Additionally this heat recovery pre-cools the lean solvent to as close to a suitable
CDP 8302

temperature for Absorber Column injection as possible and therefore minimises the
cooling duty needed in the lean solvent cooler.

CO2 Stripper

CO2-rich solvent is passed to the top sections of the stripper column where it falls
through packing which ensures sufficient contact is achieved with the rising vapours
(steam and CO2) generated in the reboiler. This hot vapour stream strips CO 2 gas out of
the rich solvent which consequently yields ‘lean solvent’. The rising vapours are
enriched with CO2 as they pass upwards through the packing and emerge at the top of
the stripper column where they are passed to a water-cooled condenser which removes
the bulk of any entrained solvent/water vapour for return to the solvent circulation system
CDP 8302

via the reflux liquid stream. The resultant cool water-saturated CO 2 stream, or ‘product’
stream, is passed to the CO 2 compression and dehydration system for further
processing.

From the base of the stripper column, the regenerated CO 2-lean solvent is passed back
through the Lean/Rich Heat Exchanger before being pumped through the Lean Solvent
Cooler (for temperature control) before being passed to the top of the absorption
sections of the Absorber Column to complete the circulation loop.

Reboiler
CDP 8302

The reboiler is used to generate a hot vapour stream from the CO 2-lean solvent that is
collected at the bottom of the stripper column. The solvent passes through the reboiler
via natural circulation (i.e. there is no pumping required). Heating is provided via a plate
type heat exchanger using attemperated LP steam from the appropriate superheated
steam supply. The condensate generated from this indirect heating system is returned
to for recovery into the appropriate condensate system. Appropriate on-line analysis of
the condensate will be undertaken to guard against the risk of condensate contamination
by solvent components.

Solvent Reclaimer
CDP 8302

A vacuum solvent reclaimer is proposed to recover useful solvent from the heat stable
salts that are formed by reaction with flue gas acid gases and piping system corrosion.
The process uses a combination of direct heating along with the addition of certain
chemicals to stabilise the salt components and maximise recovery of useful solvent
components. Vacuum operation is required for select solvents to achieve high recovery
rates. Cooling water is required for condensation of low pressure evaporated solvent
from the vacuum stages to facilitate the return of the liquid solvent to the system by
pumping.

Although thermal reclamation is considered in the first, other reclamation technologies


can be evaluated at the appropriate stage of study, such as electrolytic reclamation and
membrane based reclamation. These technologies would be investigated further during
CDP 8302

sunsequent FEED study and appropriate technology selection will be based on the
overall through life costs of the competing systems.

Compression and Dehydration

In order to meet the required export characteristics for the CO 2, a compression and
dehydration process is required. Multi-stage geared compression system will typically be
used to achieve the desired downstream CO 2 pressure target. Although the
compression process will lower the moisture content (extracted through the use of inter-
stage liquid knock-out drums), the final composition of the CO 2 will be met by application
of a dehydration process to one of the interstage streams in the compression train.
Doosan Power Systems will provisionally consider the use of a triethyleneglycol (TEG)
CDP 8302

system for this purpose, after which the gas will be returned to the compressor system
for final compression to supercritical conditions. If higher quality CO 2 product is required
a Molecular Sieve may be required.

2.4 CO2 Product


The final supercritical CO 2 fluid will be passed to the agreed terminal point in the project
specification.
CDP 8302

3. Hazardous Area Classification


Some areas of the PCCC plant will require some special considerations in order to
ensure safe operation due to the nature of the processes and chemical species required.

3.1 Solvent Storage


The proposed solvent ingredients are typically stored at 85% w/w purity with the balance
being water. These solvents are not classified as flammable at ambient temperatures
though they will be blanketed with a nitrogen supply to protect against oxidative
degradation in the storage tanks.
CDP 8302

3.2 CO2 Gas


CO2 is toxic to humans in fairly low concentrations (LTEL 5000ppm) so a near pure gas
stream must be treated with care and be classified accordingly. The areas of concern
on the PCCC plant are the stripper vessel, outlet pipe, separator vessel, compression
and dehydration systems along with all associated interconnecting pipework. These
parts of the plant must be kept in a well ventilated area which will allow any discharge
CO2 to be dissipated in the air to low resultant levels. There is a preference therefore for
parts of the plant to be located outdoors to ensure high levels air changes are
maintained through the system.
CDP 8302

CO2 is generally denser than air which can restrict dissipation; the temperature of the
gas stream following condensation is around 40°C which though hotter than the
surrounding air is not sufficiently hot to deliver the required buoyancy to ensure good
dispersal. It would therefore intended that leakage detection be installed around
appropriate parts of the plant to provide early warning to personnel of any leakage.
Equally, any discharge from a pressurised CO 2 source (such as downstream
compression plant) will also result in a ‘denser than air’ gas volume that will collect in low
points of the system. Drainage sumps and trenches are particularly at risk of this hazard
and so CO2 detection would also be installed where appropriate in these locations.
CDP 8302

3.3 Nitrogen Gas


Nitrogen gas is considered necessary to purge the plant for shutdown procedures and
for blanketing. Nitrogen gas is a known asphyxiate and so should only be utilised in well
ventilated areas which is the case as the facility will be located outdoors. The nitrogen
may be stored at low pressure in liquid form and so will need to be continuously vented
from the storage area due to thermal gains from the environment (termed boil-off) if there
is no demand from the process (such as during shutdown operations). It is anticipated
that normal blanketing and purging operations will minimise the boil-off venting
requirements.
CDP 8302

3.4 Control of Major Accident Hazards

The substances used within the carbon capture process are not directly applicable to the
COMAH regulations. Risk phrases applicable to the solvents proposed are: R20/21/22
harmful if swallowed/inhaled on by skin contact, R34 causes burns, R35 causes severe
burns (caustic only), R36 irritant to eyes, R41 risk of serious damage to the eyes and
R48/22 danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if swallowed.
CDP 8302

4. SSE’s PCCC Plant Basic Requirements

4.1 Site Visit and Preliminary Basis of PCCC Plant


Doosan Power Systems undertook a site visit on 16 th September 2010 to discuss SSE’s
proposal for a PCCC plant and to ascertain some preliminary information relating to site
specific requirements or restrictions. Some of the main parameters relating to the
proposed project have been summarised below. Refer to Figure 1.
 At present, the available generation mix comprises of 1 GEC 660 MW Steam
Turbine (located in the steam turbine building (location 5)) and 3 Siemens
V94.3A Combined Cycle Gas Turbines, which are rated at 268 MW each. The
CDP 8302

three Gas Turbines operate with Siemens Heat Recovery Steam Generators
oriented horizontally and discharge into the common exhaust stack (location 6).
 There is an additional 660 MW Steam turbine. However, with limitations imposed
by transmission constraints this unit is not utilised for power generation.
 SSE preference would be to utilise the full exhaust gases from Gas Turbine and
Heat Recovery Steam generator shown in location 1 for PCCC as a base load.
 The approximate size of the capture plant would be of the order of 3,000 tonnes
per day.
 The preferred location for the PCCC plant would be in place of the existing fuel
oil storage tanks, northwest of the Steam Turbine Building (location 5). The
existing fuel oil tanks were a part of the pre-existing set-up. It is understood that
they do not serve any useful purpose at present and that these tanks would be
CDP 8302

demolished. The dimensions of the area thus made available will be of the order
of 320 m x 110 m.
 The proposed PCCC area is free from overhead high voltage lines. Access to this
location is suitable for heavy traffic- either through A90 from the Peterhead
harbour from the North or, through the construction of an intermediate jetty near
CW outwash (location 4). Considerable lay-down area is available and
unimpeded movement of heavy duty gantry crane required for construction would
be possible. Refer to location 2.
 SSE confirmed that the operation of the unit for integrated carbon capture would
essentially be base load operation in combined cycle mode. The requirement of
transient operations like ramp-up for frequency support would be met by the
CDP 8302

other gas turbines and would not have to be considered for the design of the
PCCC plant.
CDP 8302

CDP 8302

In view of the redundant capacity, SSE proposes to demolish the enclosed areas in
Figure 2 for the routing of the flue gas between the exhaust stack and the carbon
capture plant (location 2 in Figure 1); which is shown in Figure 2 as a yellow corridor,
approximately 460 m in length.
CDP 8302
CDP 8302

Figure 2: Proposed demolition of enclosed areas (in red coloured boxes)


The cooling water intake channel (location 3 in Figure 1) was originally designed for 2 x
660 MW. However, since only one 660 MW unit is operational at present, only 50% of
the originally designed capacity is utilised. It is understood that there are no planning or
regulatory constraints which would impede the utilisation of the remaining 50% capacity
for cooling in a carbon capture plant.

The cooling water line is routed as buried piping to the north of the steam turbine
building (location 5 in Figure 1) to the condensers. From the condensers, the cooling
water lines are routed to the outwash channel (location 4 in Figure 1). It is proposed that
CDP 8302

the cooling water intake to the carbon capture plant be tapped through a new supply and
return line to minimise disruption and civil costs. This would be approximately 140 m in
length.

4.2 Potential Steam Extraction Options


Heat input is required to the PCCC process to facilitate solvent regeneration. There are
a number of potential options that could be considered. Two steam options are briefly
discussed below. These, along with other options would be considered at the
appropriate stage in SSE’s PCCC project for Peterhead Power Station.

Steam Turbine
CDP 8302

The normal flow to both LP turbines is expected to be of the order of 375 kg/s, which is
responsible for around 220 MW power output of the 660 MW total. For each LP turbine,
this translates into approximately 187.5 kg/s, which is responsible for generating
approximately 110 MW of power.

For the steam turbine, the diversion of steam away from an LP turbine for use in the
PCCC plant leads to a small proportion of power loss. It is understood that is currently
considering a reduction in power generating capacity from the steam turbine and thus
utilising a proportion of this steam for the PCCC plant may be an attractive option for
SSE.
CDP 8302

The engineering requirement of partial loading of the steam turbine can be easily
achieved by installing appropriate pressure regulating equipment in the cross-over line
from the IP Turbine to one or both of the LP Turbines and extracting steam upstream for
the PCCC plant. This regulates the pressure as per Traupel’s Cone Rule illustrated
below in Figure 3 and does not allow the increase of differential pressure across the last
stages of IP Turbine blades which are normally designed for stress’s approaching the
maximum utilisation factor. The operation would need to be confirmed by the steam
turbine OEM.
CDP 8302

Figure 3: Variation of exit pressure and


mass flow with inlet pressure as per Traupel’s cone rule
A likely location for a steam tap-off is suggested in Figure 4. The layout of the extraction
line within the Steam Turbine Building and beyond, consideration of lay-down area in the
Steam Turbine deck, hall crane movement, bottom support structures etc. would be
considered during detailed engineering; in view of the complex surroundings, as shown
in Figure 5.

Heat Recovery Steam Generator

The Heat Recovery Steam Generator is Siemens design unit and consists of 3 drums
(high pressure, intermediate pressure and low pressure) heated by the exhaust flue gas
from the gas turbines in a horizontal configuration, as per Figure 6
CDP 8302
CDP 8302

Figure 6: Connection between Gas Turbine and


Heat Recovery Steam Generator (horizontal)

The Heat Recovery Steam Generator is not equipped with an external deaerator and
does not incorporate supplementary firing (the provision for which exists but has not
been implemented) as per the empty space seen in Figure 7. The available design
margins might be considered as a part of the techno-economic optimisation.
CDP 8302
CDP 8302

Figure 7: Provisional space for supplementary firing (not utilised)


It was observed that may be scope to increase the capacity of the LP drum as per Figure
8 (pending other design checks) if SSE would desire to explore the possibility of
generating steam for carbon capture without any impact on the steam turbine.
CDP 8302
CDP 8302

Figure 8: Possibility of increasing capacity of LP Drum in HRSG

The operational viability of the preferred mode of operation would have to be guaranteed
by the Heat Recovery Steam Generator OEM.

Doosan would request SSE to furnish the following details prior to exploring further
design possibilities with the HRSG:

All Heat Balances and Pressure vs. Steam Maps of the GT + HRSG similar to Figure 11.
CDP 8302

This is necessary to explore the complete operational availability of steam for the
regeneration of the rich solvent of the carbon capture plant in the re-boiler section of the
stripping process.

Doosan desired to interact with SSE to determine the most techno-economically


optimum regime of operation integrating the gas turbine, steam turbine, HRSG and the
carbon capture plant for designing the optimum tap-off conditions.

For generating 3480 tons per day of CO2, which translates to (3480/24 =) 145 tons per
hour or 40.28 kg/s, with a preliminary steam requirement of 1.2 kg per kg CO2, this
means a steam requirement of 40.28 x 1.2 = 48.3 kg/s.
CDP 8302

as per “Carbon capture and its storage: an integrated assessment” by Simon Shackley
and Clair Gough; with further inputs from SSE.
 1 GT (open cycle) + 2 GT + 1 ST without carbon capture (present situation)
 1 GT (open cycle) + 2 GT + 1 ST (partially loaded) with carbon capture
 2 GT (open cycle) + 1 GT + 1 ST (partially loaded) with carbon capture
The economics of carbon capture would have to consider the choice of sequestration or
enhanced oil recovery (EOR) as per the following extract.

5. Feasibility Study Deliverables


SSE has identified a number of required deliverables as part of the Feasibility Study.
SSE has provided only top level specification of these deliverables. Doosan Power
Systems has endeavoured to interpret SSE’s requirements and tailor its proposal for the
Feasibility Study accordingly. If SSE believes that Doosan Power Systems has
misinterpreted its requirements then it would welcome the opportunity to discuss this
further to ensure that SSE’s needs can readily be met within an appropriate budget.

Doosan Power Systems can assist SSE in exploring the various economic alternatives
for the most efficient running of various combinations of equipment for maximum

existing power plant. This would include the expected overall energy penalty along with
major disruption and plant interfaces.

maximum operating flexibility. Doosan Power Systems would welcome the opportunity to
discuss this further with SSE.

a) Capital cost estimates accurate to -30/+40%

The time available for the completion of the Feasibility Study will only permit limited
engagement with the supply chain. Doosan Power Systems will prepare an appropriate

studies could be incorporated within subsequent stages of the design development (e.g.
Pre-FEED or FEED stage), either undertaken directly by SSE or by Doosan Power
Systems.

 Report Presentation  

Doosan Power Systems has made due allowance in its proposal to cover these other
requirements.

6. Provision of Site Specific Information


 
CDP 8302

SSE has identified a number of items of site specific information that it intends to provide
to facilitate the Feasibility Study. Doosan Power Systems welcomes the provision of any
relevant information pertaining to the proposed PCCC plant and its integration within the
Peterhead Power Station. Doosan Power Systems would seek to work closely with SSE
to obtain or establish all information necessary to ensure a robust Feasibility Study. This
may include information beyond that which SSE has currently identified.
