The new polygeneration integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) project will use coal as its feedstock and will have a generating capacity of 400MW.
Siemens will work with Fluor and Linde during the project’s FEED. The project received a $350m award under the US Department of Energy’s Clean Coal Power Initiative – Round 3 to demonstrate the commercial integration of large-scale IGCC with CO2 capture and geologic storage.
The TCEP will be located in Penwell, near Odessa, Texas. Siemens will deliver the gasification island technology, which will include two SFG-500 gasifiers. The plant will also produce urea for the US fertilizer market.
The power block will be based on an SGT6-5000F gas turbine modified to operate on high H2 syngas, which will allow the plant to have a carbon capture rate of about three million tons per year. The power block will also include a Siemens SST-900RH steam turbine, air-cooled generators and SPPA-T3000 controls.
