requirements from 10 MW to more than 1.5 GW,
and can be applied in almost any new or
re-powering project where solid and heavy
fuels are available.
Making Environmental
Compliance Affordable
Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC)
technology is increasingly important in the world
energy market, where low cost opportunity
feedstocks such as coal, heavy oils and pet coke
are the fuels of choice. And IGCC technology
produces low cost electricity while meeting
strict environmental regulations.
The IGCC gasification process “cleans” heavy
fuels and converts them into high value fuel for
gas turbines. Pioneered by GE almost 30 years
ago, IGCC technology can satisfy output
Optimal Performance
For each gasifier type and fuel, there are a vast
number of technical possibilities. Integrated
Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems
can be optimized for each type of fuel as well as
site and environmental requirements. Using
knowledge gained from successfully operating
many IGCC units, GE has optimized system
configurations for all major gasifier types and all
GE gas turbine models.
PSP30120
This 550 MW IGCC is
located at the Saras oil
refinery in Sardinia. The
three GE 109E single-
shaft combined cycle
units have accumulated
over 12,000 hours of
syngas operation.
Experience
GE engages experts from throughout the
gasification industry at both operating and
research levels to develop the most economical
and reliable approaches to IGCC technology.
Using the same combined cycle technology for
IGCC that we use for conventional systems,
GE offers extensive experience and unmatched
levels of reliability.
GE offers a complete range of gas turbines that can be integrated efficiently with IGCC plants.
