2nd project meeting and
presentation of the 50 kWth combustion test facility
Message from 13-Mar-2006
|
The second ADECOS project meeting was held on March 1st-2nd 2006 in Dresden. Besides exchange and discussion of recent project results, planning of the second project phase starting in September 2006 was one of the main topics. After finishing the official part the day closed with a dinner in the Old Town of Dresden.
On the second day, the 50 kW pulverised coal combustion test facility of the Dresden University of Technology was inaugurated and presented to the public. During the past months, the facility which had been operated by TU Dresden for more than 10 years was rebuilt for use under Oxyfuel conditions. That means essentially combustion of pulverized coal in an atmosphere of O2 and CO2 by using oxygen instead of air for combustion and recycling about 75% of the flue gas flow back to the combustion chamber.

Vattenfall is to build the world’s first pilot plant for a carbon dioxide-free coal-fired power station. The plant will be built next to the Schwarze Pumpe coal-fired power station near Spremberg in Brandenburg to the south of Berlin. It is estimated that the plant will be ready for operation in 2008 and that the required investment will amount to approximately EUR 40 million (SEK 370 million). press release
Many suggestions from the ADECOS consortium concerning the process layout have already been considered in the planning process.
