Focus on Coal
Te gasifiers at Kemper are the core of the integrated gasification process, which will be used to convert lignite into synthesis gas. Te company says that use of Mississippi lignite adds fuel diversity at low costs and stable prices for its customers. Construction progress continues at the
Kemper County energy facility which will use innovative clean coal technology to deliver safe and reliable Mississippi Power customers. Te 582 MW generating facility is scheduled to begin operation in the second quarter of 2015. Mississippi Power is a subsidiary of
Southern Company and produces energy for more than 186,000 customers in 23 southeast Mississippi counties.
Carbon capture Te US Department of Energy (DOE) is providing financial assistance to Petra Nova to demonstrate the addition of a commercial-scale post-combustion carbon capture technology at the coal-fired WA Parish generating station located in Tompsons, Texas. Te project will demonstrate the ability of an advanced amine-based carbon
dioxide capture system to capture 90% of the carbon dioxide emitted from a flue gas stream equivalent to 240MW in size. Te host power generation unit will not be derated because the power and thermal energy required to operate the carbon dioxide capture and compression system will be provided by a cogeneration plant comprised of a combustion turbine with a heat recovery boiler. Tis advancement is anticipated to reduce carbon capture costs and increase system flexibility and efficiency.
Te captured carbon dioxide will be
compressed and transported through an 80 mile pipeline to an operating oil field where it will be utilised for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and ultimately sequestered. Te scale of the project has been increased because the original 60MW project was determined to be too small to immediately induce significant oil production. A portion of the flue gas from WA
Parish unit eight that has already been treated to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter, and sulphur dioxide will be diverted from the existing stack to the carbon dioxide capture system.
