ABSTRACT:
This report concentrates on the development of high temperature and high pressure (HTHP), or hot gas cleaning
processes for the removal of particulates, sulphurous gases, reduced nitrogen compounds, nitrogenous oxides, minor
and trace element species. There are a number of similarities in the process environment of the various advanced
power generation cycles. Hence the gas cleaning unit operations
are evaluated within the categories:
Low temperature and high pressure (LTHP) or cold cleaning technologies, which played an important role in the early commercialisation of the gasification based power generation cycles, are also included. Additionally, the incidental separation of CO2 in the cold cleaning processes is reviewed in order to assess the scope for the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
