MW-Class CEPACS System
Demonstration at CanmetENERGY
Objective:
Demonstrate feasibility of FuelCell Energy’s MW-class ECM-based CEPACS
system for carbon separation in both NG and coal combustion flue gas applications.

• Canmet 300 kW VCRF provides flue gas to MW-Class CEPACS system
• CEPACS system internal recycle streams to increase flue gas flow to required level
• CEPACS system produces:
• High-purity liquid CO2 product (~25 T/D)
• Electric power (~800kW net)

CEPACS Demonstration System
• MW-Class CEPACS demonstration system would utilize FCE’s existing
DFC1500 system components and MW-class ECM module
• 1 MW ECM module design is suitable as a building block for larger
systems

VCRF Features & Capabilities
• State-of-the-art, 0.3 MWth combustion
test facility that can operate in both
air- and oxy-fired modes
• Natural gas, coal, coal slurry, oil,
bitumen and emulsified bitumen can
be burned in a controlled environment
• Equipped with air pollution control
devices for removal of NOx, SOx, Hg,
and CO2 from the flue gas stream
• Equipped with advanced process and
continuous emission monitoring
(CEM) systems
• Equipped with a synthetic flue gas
system that can mimic a wide range of
combustion flue gas compositions
VCRF

VCRF Features & Capabilities
• In air-fired mode, CO2 concentration
varies between about 4% to 15%,
depending on the fuel and combustion
conditions
• In oxy-fired mode, CO2 concentration
varies between about 55% to 85% or
higher, depending on the combustion
conditions and air leakage
• VCRF is fully integrated with two CO2
capture technologies:
•
–
PCU: Solvent-based (for air-fired mode)
–
CanCO2: Low-temperature physical
separation (for oxy-fired mode)
Spiking the flue gas with CO2 to adjust
the concentration is also achievable

Top-Level Demonstration Test Plan
• Test plan is designed to show ECM operation for various flue gas compositions
• Parametric testing will show effects of carbon capture percentage and flue gas
contaminants (for coal tests) on system performance
• Extended duration testing to characterize ECM stability
