The objective of this recommended practice (RP) is to provide a systematic approach for the qualification of fossil fuel power generation technologies with CO 2 capture.
The scope of this RP is to provide a supplement to DNV’s generic qualification procedures for new technology, DNV-RP-A203 , by giving guidance for how to utilize these procedures for fossil fuel power generation technologies with CO 2 capture.
The RP is applicable for components, equipment, processes, and process systems (assemblies) that can be defined as new CO 2 capture technology or concepts. The procedure covers, but is not limited to, the three main concepts for capturing CO 2 from power generation processes based on fossil fuels:
- Post combustion; the CO 2 is removed from the power plant flue gas after the combustion process.
- Pre combustion; the CO 2 is captured before combusting the hydrogen-rich fuel.
- Oxy-fuel combustion; the fuel is combusted using almost pure oxygen at near stoichiometric conditions producing a flue gas consisting mainly of CO 2 and H 2 O.
