2 Process scope Goal: Air at T=1200 C p=20 bar / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 1

3 Reactor configurations Main goal: combined cycle to reach high efficiency T ex = 1200 C, p = 20 bar Fluidized beds Packed beds Pro Continuous process No solid/gas separation necessary High pressures could be more easily applied Con Gas/solids separation at desired operating conditions High temperature valve is required / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 2

4 Packed bed CLC process N 2 /O 2 Temperature [K] Axial position [m] Temperature at x=l [K] Oxidation cycle Time [s] Air Heated gasses are fed to a gas turbine / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 3

5 Oxygen carrier selection Air obtained at 450 C after adiabatic compression from atmospheric conditions Temperature rise of 750 C has to be achieved with CLC Possible oxygen carriers: Lowest melting point ( C) Selectivity γ CO at 800 C Selectivity γ H2 at 800 C Active weight material required for 750 C T rise Costs [ /ton] NiO/Ni % >20,000 CuO/Cu % >3000 Fe 2 O 3 /Fe 3 O >100% >1000 Fe 3 O 4 /FeO *** >1000 Mn 3 O 4 /MnO % >1000 / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 4

6 Alternative: Two stage CLC Smaller temperature changes in one reactor Lower active weight content and T melting no issue Different combinations of oxygen carriers are possible More information: Int. J. Greenhouse Gas Control, 16 (2013), pp / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 5

7 Two-stage CLC: principle heat removal heat removal T g,out Main criteria for oxygen carrier selection: Temperature ( C) T g,in heat removal 2. oxidation 1. reduction 1 st oxygen carrier 2. oxidation 1. reduction 2 nd oxygen carrier 1 st carrier: High reactivity at T low copper 2 nd carrier Stable at T high manganese axial position (m) / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 6

8 Theoretical demonstration TS-CLC demonstrated theoretically by 1D packed bed reactor model Two reactors considered as 1 reactor Simulation parameters Length bed 1 3 meter Criteria for operating parameters: - Pressure drop <5% - Prevent fuel slip - Similar cycle time for oxidation/heat removal and reduction Oxygen carrier bed wt% CuO/Al 2 O 3 Length bed 2 3 meter Oxygen carrier bed 2 30wt% Mn 3 O 4 /Al 2 O 3 Feed oxidation/heat removal Air, 4 kg/(m 2 s) at 450 C, 20 bar Feed reduction Syngas, CO/H 2 =1, 0.15 kg/(m 2 s) at 450 C, 20 bar / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 7

11 TS-CLC demonstrated theoretically Gas temperature at outlet ( C) reduction oxidation/ heat removal TS-CLC possible: flow at high temperature and pressure is produced for the gas turbine time (s) PAGE 10

12 Comparison between TS-CLC and single stage Outlet temperature [ C] Reduction Oxidation/heat removal time [s] Two-stage CLC: Outlet temperature profiles more dispersed CO 2 and H 2 O are produced at higher temperature Temperature changes at the outlet are much less dramatic According to energy balance, flow send to the gas turbine expander is only 4% less NiO/Al2O3 CuO Mn3O4 / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 11

13 Conclusions CLC is also possible in two stages More different oxygen carriers could be used for packed bed CLC Smaller temperature changes per reactor (max. ΔT=400 C) The temperature changes are much less dramatic at the outlet of the bed Effects on electrical efficiency: CO 2 and H 2 O produced at higher temperature Smaller air flow to gas turbine: HT HP feed produced for the GT cycle is only 4% less / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 12

14 Outlook Demonstrate the TS-CLC configuration experimentally Compare the electrical efficiency with the conventional single stage PB-CLC (in collaboration with Politecnico di Milano) / Chemical Engineering & Chemistry PAGE 13
