The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under GA 241302-CaOling Project and from PCTI Asturias.

Status of La Pereda 1,7MWt pilot test facility for postcombustion CO2 capture by Ca-looping



CaOling Project - Development of Calcium looping

CaOling Project started on December 2009 as a three-years project to develop and demonstrate post-combustion calcium looping in a pilot-scale unit which is fully integrated with a power plant.

Partners:



Postcombustion carbonate looping concept:

Main advantage: CO2 capture at high temperature Recovery of part of the energy used in the regeneration process.

Concept

Low energy penalty compared with other CO2 capture technologies



CaOling Project. Work plan

WP1: Lab-Scale pilot testing

WP2: Sorbent Properties

WP3: Reactor modelling and scale-up tools

WP4: 1,7MWt Plant design and erection

WP5: Experimental campaigns in the 1,7Mw test facility

WP6: Scaling parameters for industrial plant demo

WP7: Coordination and dissemination

Leader Other partners

24 m

To evaluate and optimise the concept in the 1,7 MW test facility, in operating conditions equivalent to large-scale industrial units and integrated in a commercial plant.

To analyse the controllability and stability of the process

To find the optimum set of operating conditions to minimize sorbent make-up flow cost.

To measure the effects of initial particle size and attrition phenomena in the continuous circulating fluidized bed system.

To analyse the effects of the flue gas impurities in the sorbent performance and the effects of coal ash and sulphur content.
