Problem statement
This project will examine oxy-co-gasification method and Ion
Transport Membrane for an Integrated Gasification Combined
Cycle (IGCC) power plant incorporates the highest potential
technology for carbon capture.
Objective
1. Enhance power generation and reduce CO2 emissions from an
IGCC power plant using co- gasification of coal and biomass.
2. Reduce production cost by introducing new gas separation
technology (Ion Transport Membrane).

• ITM
▫ 25-30% reduction in capital requirements over conventional
cryogenic oxygen plants e.g. cooling cost.
▫ 30% reduction in operation cost for oxygen
▫ 35-60% reduction in power consumption
▫ Can be integrated with high-temperature processes to produce
electrical power and/or steam from air
▫ Compact design
Solid state diffusion of
1. O2 from air feed adsorbs onto the surface, where it dissociates and ionizes by
electron transfer from membrane
2. O2- fill vacancies in the lattice structure, diffuse through the membrane under
O2 chemical- potential gradient (applied by maintaining difference in O2 partial
pressure on opposite sides)
3. O2- release electrons, recombine, and desorbs from surface as O2 molecule

Performance Analysis
• Effect of flow patterns
▫ At same temperature, co-current flow exhibits
higher oxygen productivity compared to
countercurrent flow pattern when the vacuum
pressure is less than 0.05 atm.
• Material balance
▫ Overall: Nf = NO2+ NR
▫ Oxygen: 0.21Nf = NO2[p’o2/P]+ NR

CO2 capture
Pros
• Applicable to low-CO2 partial pressures.
• Recovery rates of up to 98% and product purity >99 vol% can be
achieved.
Cons
• Process consumes considerable energy.
• Solvent degradation and equipment corrosion occur in the
presence of O2.
• Concentrations of SOx and NOx in the gas stream combine with
the MEA to form nonregenerable, heat-stable salts.
