	clean-energy.us - facts about igcc electric power
		It is the general consensus among IGCC plant designers that the preferred design today is one in which the ASU derives 25 to 50 percent of its oxygen supply from the gas turbine compressor and the rest from a separate air compressor.
		The first of the European IGCC plants was the NUON (formerly SEP/Demkolec) project in Buggenum, the Netherlands, using Shell gasification technology.
		The principal reason for this cost differential is that the CO2 in an IGCC plant is separated from the syngas before combustion, but the CO2 in a conventional coal plant is removed from the post-combustion exhaust gases.

		IGCC is a power generation process that uses a gasifier to transform coal (and other fuels) to a synthetic gas (syngas), consisting mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
		IGCC is considered one of the most promising technologies to reduce the environmental impacts of generating electricity from coal.
		IGCC is a versatile technology and is capable of using a variety of feed stocks.

		The main beneficial features of IGCC are that 1) the gasified coal is purified of sulfur and particulate pollutants before it is burned in the turbine, and 2) the residual heat in the hot exhaust gas is further utilized in a heat recovery steam generator to produce additional electricity and thereby increase the thermal efficiency.
		IGCC systems use less cooling water and are desirable in the event that the power station is located in an area lacking adequate water.
		All IGCC plants in operation are of 250 MW capacity except the unit in Spain, which has approximately 300 MW of capacity.

		IGCC is emerging today as one of the most promising technologies to exploit low-quality solid and liquid fuels and meet the most stringent emission limits.
		Another important area of IGCC technology improvement is the optimization of the design and integration among the various components of the complex.
		With the advent of IGCC technology these turbines have been adapted to the use of syngas, a low LHV fuel, but their design features are not generally the optimum for syngas.

	IEA Clean Coal Centre : Clean coal technologies Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC)
		IGCC uses a combined cycle format with a gas turbine driven by the combusted syngas, while the exhaust gases are heat exchanged with water/steam to generate superheated steam to drive a steam turbine.
		In all IGCC plants, there is a requirement for a series of large heat exchangers, which become major components.
		The main incentive for IGCC development has been that units may be able to achieve higher thermal efficiencies than PCC plant, and be able to match the environmental performance of gas-fired plants.

	IGCC
		IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) is a power generation system which produces synthesis gas (syngas), mainly of CO and H2, converted from fossil fuel, such as vacuum residue, heavy oil, petroleum coke, coal and Orimulsion by a partial oxidation process and then burned to generate electricity from syngas by combined cycle.
		IGCC technology has become the center of public attention as one of prime applications of technology for maintaining clean air for the world.
		The reason for this is that it enables the production of clean gas, equivalent to natural gas, from inferior fuel with expected reduction of CO2 emissions by use of high performance Gas Turbines.

	INTEGRATED GASIFICATION COMBINED CYCLE (IGCC) TECHNOLOGY SCAN
		The IGCC process is a two-stage combustion with cleanup between the stages.
		IGCC technology has been proven for a variety of fuels, particularly heavy oils, heavy oil residues, petcokes, and bituminous coals in different parts of the globe.
		The emission levels in terms of NOx, SOx and particulate from an IGCC plant have been demonstrated to be much lower when compared to the emission levels from a conventional PC fired steam plant.

	Power Engineering - Coal Gasification: Players, Projects, Prospects
		IGCC power plants will soon join utility fleets where they will be called on to dispatch and perform head-to-head with pulverized coal units.
		In an IGCC plant, coal is converted to synthesis gas (syngas), which is then fired in a combustion turbine (CT) to produce electricity.
		That means the IGCC will run four times as many hours and produce almost four times as much power each hour it runs, while producing less than 25 percent of the emissions of the 160 MW unit built at the site in the 1940s.

	Combined cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle, or IGCC, is a power plant using synthetic gas (syngas) as a source of clean fuel.
		The power generation industry also is yet to be convinced about the reliability of IGCC technology as the five demonstration facilities that have gone into operation have not consistently demonstrated availabilities comparable to conventional CCGTs or coal-fired power plants.
		The coal-based IGCC plant is currently using about 30% biomass as a supplemental feedstock, for which the owner, NUON, is paid an incentive fee by the government.
