    GTI’s Acid Gas Treating Pilot Plant

    (AGTPP) Relocation and Integration


    with FlexFuel Facility
    > Dennis Leppin, P.E.
    Gas Technology Institute

    Presentation to 9th Int’l. CO2 Capture


    Test Network Meeting
    Copenhagen, Denmark
    June 16, 2006
    Objective
    > Develop a research capability for pre-
    combustion CO2 removal
    > Integrate an existing plant with a new coal
    gasifier test facility (“GTI Flex Fuel”)
    > Test new technology applicable to IGCC
    acid gas removal
    – Solvents
    – Contactor devices, packing etc.

    GTI’s Pilot Plant Unit
    > Built in 1994 by Gastech Engineering,
    Tulsa, OK
    > Used extensively for the development of
    the Morphysorb process - last used in
    1999
    > Needs reconditioning and modifications to
    meet syngas application requirements
    > Solvent Chillers need to be
    replaced/rented
    > 2005 – State of Ilinois IDCEO has funded
    relocation/refurbishment project

    Flex Fuel
    > Various capabilities will be added in
    planned programs:
    – Entrained gasification (third party)
    – Acid gas removal (AGTPP)
    – Gas quench/gas cooling
    – Sulfur Capture (SulfaTreat)
    – Shift/COS Hydrolysis
    – Oxygen feed
    – Higher-pressure operation
    > Using syngas from ongoing tests will be
    best option if cost is major factor
