BHEL, Tiruchi, has established process reliability of in-house IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) technology suited to power generation using Indian coals, through its 6.2 MW demonstration plant.
The IGCC technology has been developed with 42 per cent plant efficiency, incorporating clean coal technologies (CCT) in the process itself with stringent requirements for gas turbine and easier separation of carbon dioxide due to pressure cycle. A 182 MW IGCC plant was ready for commercialisation; it will be set up with Andhra Pradesh Generation Corporation, according to S.Arumugam, Additional General Manager, Coal Research, BHEL, Tiruchi. IGCC plant, based on the Pressurized Fluidized Bed (PFB) concept, was ideally suited for the high ash (35 to 45 per cent) Indian coals.
