- Description
- The current paper estimates the costs for sulfur removal in oxy-fuel thermal power plants. In oxy-fuel plants, SOx concentrations in the flue gas are expected to increase by around three times due to the replacement of N2 by recycled CO2-rich flue gas. Therefore, SOx removal becomes essential to avoid any high temperature corrosion problems in the furnace as well as in back end processes. In Australia there are currently no regulations for SOx emissions due to the abundant availability of low sulfur coal, and therefor coal based thermal power stations do not have FGDs installed. Unlike Australia, in other parts of the world low sulfur coal availability is uncertain. Therefore, regulations on SOx emissions are in place and coal based thermal power stations have FGDs already installed. The cost estimates have been made for sulfur removal under new or retrofit conditions for both Australia and worldwide
