Summary

Description

A schematic showing the operation of a oxyfuel carbon capture and storage (CCS) fossil fuel power plant. The schematic was based on the image at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7586569.stm , and the information in EOS magazine, March 2010. 1= air inlet
2= mechanical energy is supplied
3= nitrogen outlet
4= oxygen outlet
5= recycled exhaust gas inlet
6= fuel inlet (ie coal, ...)
7= cold water pipe
8= steam inlet pipe
9= steam turbine
10= steam outlet pipe
11= steam condensor
12= cooling pipe of steam condensor
13= bottom ash
14= fly-ash removal
15= sulphur + gypsum removal
16= cooler
17= water condensor (water removal)
18= mechanical energy is supplied (CO²-compressor)
19= CO² outlet
Note 1: 6, 7 and 8 form the whole of the firebox < br/>

Note 2: for the workings of the steam condensor (a non essential part, simply increases efficiency), see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Surface_Condenser.png < br/>
