Prenflo for the European IGCC at Puertollano
- Krupp Koppers GmbH, Essen (Germany)
The paper describes the European IGCC plant at Puertollano, Spain, based on the Prenflo coal gasification process. The 300 MWe (net) power plant is partly funded under the Thermie program by the European Commission, Directorate-General for Energy. Prenflo is an entrained-flow gasification system with dry fuel dust feeding. The development of this process was partly funded under the German Ministry of Research and Technology and the Commission of the European Union. The principal feed fuel for the Puertollano plant will consist of a mixture of high-ash Puertollano coal (more than 47 wt.% ash) and high-sulfur petroleum coke (more than 5 wt.% sulfur) from the Repsol refinery at Puertollano. Results from gasification tests with Spanish fuel in the Prenflo demonstration plant at Fuerstenhausen will be presented. Stringent environmental regulations can be fulfilled by the new IGCC technology which at the same time achieves high efficiencies. The start-up of the IGCC plant at Puertollano is planned for the second half of 1995 with natural gas followed by coal gas one year later. Development trends in IGCC power plants will be discussed.
