Key Integration Areas
Steam Supply and Condensate Return
Steam source analysis included:
Extraction from the cold reheat (CRH)
Extraction from the intermediate pressure (IP) turbine
Extraction from cross-over between IP turbine and the low pressure (LP) turbine.
Results indicated the advantage of choosing an extraction point with a pressure that is as close as possible to the required operating pressure.
Due to the variance in available pressure at each extraction point during normal unit operation, a single extraction point could likely not provide the required steam conditions to the CAP.

Key Integration Areas
Steam Supply to CAP
Based on steam cycle evaluation and process optimization, the Phase I design basis would be to extract steam at two different pressure levels:
higher pressure steam for regeneration from the IP/LP crossover utilizing throttling valves (butterfly type)
Lower pressure to supply steam for process stripping.
Condensate Return from CAP
returned to the Mountaineer feed water heating system to reclaim the condensate as well as offset a portion of the overall energy demand.
To minimize contamination concerns, a condensate storage “buffer” tank is included in the design, which is continuously monitored for contamination.

Key Integration Areas
CAP Flue Gas Exhaust
Options considered:
CAP exhaust to existing stack
CAP exhaust to new stack close coupled to process island
CAP exhaust to existing MT hyperbolic cooling tower
Evaluation Results:
Hyperbolic cooling tower option eliminated from consideration
Technical and environmental risk factors
Existing stack option and new stack options were both technically acceptable.
Team initially recommended a new dedicated stack.
Uncertainties associated with modeling and permitting a new stack in the timeframe of the project restricted AEP from considering this option for the Phase I conceptual design.
For treating higher percentages of flue gas, a dedicated stack would be required as the technical difficulties surrounding mixing of flue gas streams becomes a concern.

Key Integration Areas
CO2 Compression
Injection pressures in the 1200 psi – 1500 psi range are expected early in the life of the target injection wells (from PVF experience).
Maximum injection pressure into the geological formations targeted for the project is expected to be approximately 3000 psi.
Compression to an intermediate pressure, followed by variable speed pumping to the final injection pressure offers greater flexibility and efficiency over the life of the system as compared to full compression to the maximum expected injection pressure.

Key Integration Areas
CO2 Compression (cont.)
integrally-geared centrifugal compression to a super- critical condition
integrally-geared centrifugal compression to a sub- critical condition followed by cooling (liquefaction) and pumping to the final CO2 pipeline pressure
Integrally geared technology is proven, cost effective, and offers, with the use of a variable-speed drive on the CO2 pump, a wide range of outlet pressures.
Phase I cost estimate reflects the cost for sub-critical compression and liquefaction
Conservative approach in that supercritical compression is less mechanically complicated (though higher operating risk), lower CAPEX, and presumably lower total installed cost.

Key Integration Accomplishments (cont.)
The ability to re-introduce CO2 into the CAP return duct in the event that the product does not meet specifications for injection, or if the injection wells are out of service.
Separate flue gas condensate (inlet/outlet) drainage and collection systems provided as a precaution in the event that a CAP upset increased the ammonia concentration in the return flue gas condensate, which could potentially impact the plant’s ammonia discharge limits.
Additional byproduct storage tanks to handle dilute byproduct and increase operational flexibility.
Robust power supply to insure CCS system reliability
Dedicated integrated controls system to provide CCS monitoring capabilities and maximize efficiency of operations.
