石油设备网讯 据OGJ 5月20日休斯顿报道,印第安纳州的一座综合气化联合循环工厂(IGCC)将被改造用于氨生产,它将从OGCI气候投资公司获得资金,用于邻近的碳捕获和封存(CCS)项目。
OGCI气候投资基金是石油公司首席执行官为寻求应对气候变化的实际行动而发起的“油气气候行动”(OGJ Online, 2016年11月4日),基金规模超过10亿美元。
Wabash Valley Resources LLC表示,该公司已完成对西Terra Haute外150万吨/年CCS项目的投资,具体金额不详。产能将扩大到175万吨/年。
二氧化碳来自瓦巴什谷计划在改作用途的IGCC工厂每天生产的1630吨无水氨。
捕获的二氧化碳将被注入到寒武纪西蒙山砂岩约7000英尺的盐水含水层。
隶属于大宗商品公司菲布罗有限责任公司(Phibro LLC)的瓦巴什谷资源公司(Wabash Valley Resources)于2016年收购了IGCC工厂,计划将氢气产量用于氨的生产。
CCS项目还将获得美国能源部碳储存项目的资金。
IGCC电厂作为一个由美国能源部支持的清洁煤项目于1993年开始运营。

Indiana CCS project gets OGCI investment
An Indiana integrated gasification combined cycle plant (IGCC) to be converted for ammonia production will receive funding from OGCI Climate Investments for an adjacent carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project.
OGCI Climate Investments is a fund exceeding $1 billion created by oil company chief executive officers in the Oil and Gas Climate Initiative seeking practical action on climate change (OGJ Online, Nov. 4, 2016).
Wabash Valley Resources LLC said it has closed on the fund’s investment of an undisclosed amount in the 1.5 million-ton/year CCS project outside of West Terra Haute. The capacity will be expandable to 1.75 million tons/year.
Carbon dioxide will come from Wabash Valley’s planned production of 1,630 tonnes/day of anhydrous ammonia at the repurposed IGCC plant.
Captured CO2 will be injected into a saline aquifer at about 7,000 ft in the Cambrian Mount Simon sandstone.
Wabash Valley Resources, affiliated with the commodities firm Phibro LLC, acquired the IGCC plant in 2016 with plans to use hydrogen output for ammonia production.
The CCS project also will receive funding from the US Department of Energy’s Carbon Storage Program.
The IGCC plant began operations in 1993 as a DOE-supported clean-coal project.
