Advanced Refractory Systems for Gasification: To sustain our nation?s economic growth, utilization of our most abundant fossil energy resource, coal, in an efficient and environmentally responsible manner is needed. Consequently, the DOE is supporting the development of advanced technology power plants that offer higher efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced capital and operating costs. Gasification technologies are key to addressing several of the advanced technologies issues of clean production of electric power, hydrogen for the new ?hydrogen economy,? and industrial chemicals or refined fuels while reducing the impacts on water resources, solid waste disposal, and capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) that is generated in the use of fossil fuels. To meet the demands of the Hydrogen Initiative, the requirements for fuel cell and advanced turbine power units, and to meet the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the synthesis gas produced by gasification will need to be cleaned to tighter specifications. At the same time, the gasification and gas cleanup processes will need to have reduced costs, improved reliability, and the ability to be readily integrated for increased efficiency. These improvements will enable the integration of advanced concepts for high-efficiency power generation and pollution control into a class of fuel-flexible facilities capable of operating with near zero environmental emissions. Based on gasification, there are a variety of configurations to meet differing market needs, including both distributed and central generation of power. The development and optimization of advanced coal gasifiers will be critical to the success of this program. This topic seeks to develop key support technologies and measurement techniques for these gasifiers. Applications which fit the following description should be submitted under this funding opportunity title of Advanced Refractory Systems for Gasification (DE-PS26-04NT41898-05). Refractory liners in high temperature slagging gasifiers are known to undergo significant deterioration over a relatively short period of time, requiring considerable maintenance. Depending upon the operating temperature of the gasifier, plant size, and the feedstock, refractory liners last only 6-18 months and cost over $1 million in materials, manpower, and lost revenues to replace. Therefore grant applications are sought to develop advanced refractory systems or new materials with an expected useful life of three or more years. Of particular interest are materials with the ability to withstand multiple feed stocks such as coal, biomass, and petroleum coke, and materials that contain no chromium.
