PRE-COMBUSTION CARBON CAPTURE TECHNOLOGIES FOR COAL-BASED GASIFICATION PLANTS -- Topic Area 1: High-Temperature, High-Pressure Membranes: NOTE: This descriptive area provides an overview of Topic Area of Interest 1 only. YOU MUST READ THE ENTIRE FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT DOCUMENT FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, EVALUATION CRITERIA AND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE AN APPLICATION UNDER A SPECIFIC TECHNICAL TOPIC AREA OF INTEREST. Please scroll to the bottom of this page to access the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Topic Area 1 - High-Temperature, High-Pressure Membranes: Membranes generically refer to a barrier or a medium, which has the potential to effect the selective permeation of the desired gas species at commercially-relevant separation flux, selectivity, and operating conditions. Topic Area 1 solicits membrane-based separation devices approaching theoretical separation selectivity and flux compatible with modern gasifier-WGS reactor product throughput rates. The operating conditions of the tests shall be those synergistic with modern commercial coal gasification system-WGS reactor operating conditions. The CO2 may remain as the retentate at high pressure amenable to low-cost capture and/or transport to storage sites. If hydrogen is the retentate, it will contain minor amounts water vapor, and may simulate the feed conditions of a humid air turbine (HAT) cycle. It is not intent of the FOA Topic Area 1 to guide the applicants for choosing one or the other species as the preferred retentate. The announcement is open to applications for separating either CO2 or H2; a non-permeate CO2 stream preferably remaining at high pressure to minimize the compression cost to pipeline pressure (approximately 2,200 psi) and, if hydrogen is the non-permeate stream, it remains at temperature and pressure conditions synergistic with high-efficiency energy production systems. The hydrogen is required at a desired minimum purity, greater than 93%, for advanced hydrogen turbine operations and for achieving the programmatic CO2 capture goal. If the hydrogen stream contains trace amounts of impurities, especially sulfur, then the effect of impurities on turbine operation and remedial measures to overcome the barrier must be addressed in the application. Membranes, inorganic, cermets (ceramic-metal composites), and hybrid (polymer-inorganic) types, with nearly theoretical separation selectivity and flux, compatible with modern gasifier product throughput rates, and capable of operating at temperature and pressure conditions synergistic with WGS reactor operations, are sought to be developed and tested. Membranes that are thermally and mechanically stable with long engineering life and the desired level of sulfur tolerance, and appropriately supported that are not flux limiting, are of interest. If H2S is present in the streams, then impurity tolerance and/or upstream impurity management techniques need to be discussed. The scale of the membrane-based separation device to be tested shall be sufficient to extrapolate the data to intermediate-scale prototypes via appropriate scale-up steps and, ultimately, to full-scale commercial systems. The test matrix shall include simulated shifted syngas feeds, the separation device design and engineering fundamentals studies, and preliminary process economic study validating the cost, performance, and operational improvements , e.g., by process intensification, compared to conventional separation devices. It is expected that the proposed R D, when successfully executed, will demonstrate at an appropriate scale that the membrane-based separation device can cost-effectively separate the desired species, hydrogen or CO2, from typical water gas shift mixture feeds at practical rates and acceptable purity, and the hydrogen can be introduced into the commercial operating conditions of combustion turbines of IGCC plants. NETL is sponsoring a wide variety of membrane technology R D efforts. Applicants are encouraged to conduct a review of patent and open literature to make sure that the work proposed is not a duplication of efforts. The proposed R D shall be conducted according to a planned approach, including but not limited to the work such as suggested below, and the technical strategy modified and work emphasis shifted as necessary to accomplish the FOA Topic Area 1 objectives: Identify the most favorable high temperature and pressure membrane compositions, membrane geometry, prepare/procure the membranes, obtain and analyze data, technology validation, separation device designs, preliminary/conceptual integration schemes with the appropriate power plant components, such as the advanced hydrogen turbines of future IGCC plants; Perform tests on simulated WGS mixtures at commercially-relevant conditions and complete appropriate data reduction and analyses demonstrating meaningful progress consistent with the established intermediate milestones; Using the data from above tasks, provide an analysis listing relevant data, input parameters, assumptions, and other details sufficient to permit an economic evaluation of the process and its scale-up and commercial potential. The data and results shall be presented in a format and engineering units suitable for follow-on engineering development and scale-up studies. The applicant shall provide information, as applicable, relevant to overcoming the technical issues and challenges discussed above and anticipated during the conduct of the R D efforts for achieving the DOE Carbon Sequestration Program goal, and other process parameters the applicant deems appropriate to report with emphasis on: Membrane type(s) Membrane transport mechanism and comparison with theoretical performance, e.g., if Sievert's law applies, a comparison with theoretical performance predictions All auxiliary power required such as blowers, compressors, and/or pumps and all annual operating costs associated with the technology; power requirement to compress CO2 (kW hr/ton of CO2) to pipeline pressure (approximately 2,200 psi) Membrane permeability and selectivity under realistic operating conditions: Describe performance effects as a function of operating conditions (feed side pressure, permeate pressure, temperature, feed gas composition); Effects of aging and predicted membrane operating life time Effect of shifted syngas gas contaminants, e.g. H2S, CO, and water on membrane performance Mechanical stability of the membrane Membrane flux (in SCFH/ft2-100 psi deltaP) Membrane and system costs (in $/ft2) Membrane size (in ft2/ton CO2 separated) Product purity Description of the proposed module type of the membrane system, including but not limited to: Membrane geometry; Module design concepts; Feed and permeate side maximum allowable pressures; Optimal operating pressure of the membrane system (trans-membrane deltaP operating capability); Scale-up issues, manufacturing assessments, and key technology barriers.
