Abstract

The description of the 335 MWeISO coal-based Puertollano IGCC power plant as example of industrial application of IGCC technology together with its main lessons learnt are summarised in this chapter. This chapter includes process description, syngas analysis, main operational real data (power production and emissions), and main causes of unavailability as well as R&D lines. These are mainly focused on improvement of IGCC technology taking into account efficiency increase and emissions reduction. So, first results of the CO2 capture and H2 co-production 14MWth pilot plant installed in the Puertollano IGCC are included.
