Embodiment Construction

[0014] As detailed below, combining a pressurized fluidized bed combustor (PFBC) with a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) is expected to provide a 2 A low-cost solution for captured power generation.

[0015] More specifically, the incorporation and use of the pressurized fluidized bed combustor (PFBC) proposed herein allows the combustion of solid fuels such as but not limited to coal, petroleum coke, biomass, etc. burn in the appliance. According to a preferred embodiment, the PFBC is approximately 1 / 3 the size of a conventional coal fired boiler at less than 1 / 2 the cost. Although an oxy-fired pressurized fluidized bed combustor, such as is currently under development, is contemplated for use in the practice of the present invention and is incorporated herein, in the following, specific reference will be made to the embodiment using an air-fired pressurized fluidized bed combustor The invention is further described, along with such air combustion operations, including and...

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating electricity that combine a pressurized fluidized bed combustor (PFBC) and a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) to provide a 2 A low-cost solution for captured power generation. Introducing a solid fuel into a pressurized fluidized bed combustor to generate steam, first electricity and CO containing 2 smoke. Combining air, natural gas, at least a portion of steam and at least a portion containing CO 2 The flue gas is introduced into the molten carbonate fuel cell to generate a second electricity and mainly contains CO 2 output stream. The pressurized fluidized bed combustor may desirably be air fired and the solid fuel introduced therein may desirably be in finely divided form.
