The construction, startup and operation of the repowered Wabash River coal gasification project
- Destec Energy, Inc., Houston, TX (United States)
The Wabash River Coal Gasification Repowering Project (the Project) is a joint venture to design, construct, own, and operate a commercial integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant at PSI`s Wabash River Generating Station in West Terre Haute, Indiana. The IGCC power plant will produce a nominal 262 (net) MW of clean, energy efficient capacity for PSI`s customers. The Project will use locally mined high sulfur coal, at an extremely competitive price, and outperform Phase 2 requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The net plant heat rate will be below 9,000 Btu/kwh (HHV), SO{sub 2} emissions are expected to be 0.02 lbs/MMBtu of fuel and NOx are expected to be 0.08 lbs/MMBtu. Upon startup in 1995, the Project will be the largest operating single-train coal gasification combined cycle plant in the World. The paper gives a history of the project then describes the design, cost and efficiency, environmental benefits, construction activities, startup and commissioning activities, and the major challenges facing the Project.
