Abstract

In integrated steelworks a large fraction of total CO₂ is emitted from the power plant, where carbonrich blast furnace gas (BFG) is burned to produce electricity by means of a steam cycle or a gas-steam combined cycle. The aim of the present paper is to assess the potential of Sorption Enhanced Water Gas Shift (SEWGS) process for CO₂ capture from blast furnace gas. Firstly, a reference combined cycle applied to blast furnace steel plant is defined. Mass flow rate and composition of the steel plant off-gas used as fuel in the combined cycle have been derived from a large integrated steel plant. Then, the application of the SEWGS process is investigated and compared to a reference monoethanolamine (MEA)-based post-combustion absorption option. Two different SEWGS plant layouts are proposed together with two different sorbents. SEWGS achieves 85% of CO₂ avoided with electric efficiency of 39% with the advanced sorbent.
