Overview of Oxycombustion Technology ASME PTC 4.5 Kick-off Meeting Orlando, Florida December 16, 2010 D.K. McDonald, Technical Fellow, Babcock & Wilcox Co.
Oxy-combustion burns coal with a mixture of oxygen and recycled flue gas instead of air to produce a concentrated CO2 stream for storage

Benefits of Oxy-Coal Combustion • Oxy-combustion is potentially the highest efficiency and lowest cost CO2 capture technology for coal fired plants* • Near Zero Emissions of criteria air pollutants (NZEP) • >90% CO2 capture at pipeline quality and purity specifications • Low technology risk – plant components are primarily conventional equipment modified for operation in the oxy-mode. An oxy-plant will look and operate like a conventional power plant. • Can be retrofit as easily as post combustion capture • Same existing plant equipment and space requirements • No LP steam requirement (output can be increased by heat integration) • No new chemicals or solvents • Unique operating options to can maximize output during the day * DOE/NETL 2007-1291 Rev. 2, August 2008, “Pulverized Coal Oxy-combustion Power plants” DOE/NETL 2007-1281 Rev.1, August 2007 “Cost and Performance Baseline for Fossil Energy Plants”
