CIUDEN’s Integrated CCS Technology
CIUDEN’s Integrated CCS Technology
Foster Wheeler has been awarded a circulating fluidized-bed (CFB) boiler contract for a CO2 capture development plant Ponferrada, Spain.
Fundación Ciudad de la Energía (CIUDEN), an institution created by the Spanish Government, will use the boiler to test Foster Wheeler's Flexi-Burn carbon capturing CFB technology.
The unit will be part of CIUDEN's Integrated CCS Technology Development Plant (TDP) located near Endesa's Compostilla power plant in Ponferrada, Spain.
Flexi-BurnTM is Foster Wheeler's version of carbon capture technology based on oxygen combustion (commonly referred to as "oxy-combustion" or "oxy-fuel") for coal plants. Unlike, pre-combustion (IGCC plant) or post-combustion technologies (amine CO2 scrubber placed behind conventional coal boilers), oxygen combustion technologies allow the boiler to produce a CO2 rich flue gas, thus reducing the need for expensive and energy-intensive CO2 gas separation equipment.
The CIUDEN unit will be designed to test burn a wide range of domestic (anthracite) and imported coals, as well as biomass. One of the objectives of the incorporation of this unit into the TDP is to validate Foster Wheeler's Flexi-BurnTM CFB technology at the required scale before proceeding to a possible full-scale demonstration plant.

It has full confidence with Foster Wheeler’s ability to deliver the best quality CFB boiler. Foster Wheeler has demonstrated its state-of-the-art CFB boiler technology as a world leader, proven in large-scale applications, providing fuel flexibility and environmental compliance and we are pleased to have selected them for the CIUDEN TDP project.
Foster-Wheeler has received a full notice to proceed on this contract. The unit is expected to be operational by the second half of 2011, with testing programmes to follow shortly after.
