Abstract
A coal gasification based combined cycle power generation system known as the Air Blown Gasification Cycle is being developed jointly by an industry led group comprising GEC Alsthom, PowerGen, Mitsui Babcock Energy and British Coal Corporation towards a demonstration of the technology. Sulphur control to meet current EU legislation is inherent in the process, however tighter emissions limits are anticipated for new power plant in the near future. This paper describes the approach adopted to meeting lower sulphur emissions limits using hot gas cleaning techniques and results of recent testing of metal oxide sorbents.
