CFB Technolgy for Carbon Capturing
CFB Technolgy for Carbon Capturing
Foster Wheeler AG announced today that a subsidiary of its Global Power Group has been awarded a contract by Fundación Ciudad de la Energía , an institution created by the Spanish Government, for the design and supply of a circulating fluidized-bed unit for testing Foster Wheeler’s Flexi-BurnTM carbon capturing CFB technology.
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.
