Simulation And Economic Evaluation Of Coal Gasification With Sets Reforming Process For Power Production, Zachary Hoffman Jan 2005

Simulation And Economic Evaluation Of Coal Gasification With Sets Reforming Process For Power Production, Zachary Hoffman

LSU Master's Theses

Increasing natural gas prices have raised interest in alternate energy resources. Popular belief in the connection between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming has motivated the search for a technique to isolate carbon dioxide from combustion stack gases. Coal gasification with SETS reforming has been proposed as a solution to both of these issues in that it provides an alternate energy source and 100% carbon dioxide sequestration. The purpose of this research is to simulate this process using AspenPlus to perform the rigorous material and energy balances. The results of this simulation are used to carry out a complete economic …
