The Doosan Babcock, SSE and Vattenfall consortium successfully completed the two year test programme on the CCPilot100+ post combustion carbon capture (PCC) pilot plant at SSE's Ferrybridge Power Station in December 2013. The 100 tonne CO2/day (15MWt, 5MWe equivalent) CCPilot100+ PCC pilot plant, using Doosan Babcock's PCC technology, was the first of its size to be integrated into a live power plant in the UK. It was designed to demonstrate scale-up of the PCC process and provides a stepping stone from process characterisation on Doosan Babcock's 1 tonne CO2/day (160kWt) Emissions Reduction Test Facility (ERTF) to commercial-scale (150MWe plus) plant. Benchmark performance on 30% w/w monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent was first established, followed by extensive parametric and long-term performance testing using the RS-2TM solvent. The paper presents an overview of the CCPilot100+. It describes the test programme, measurements made, test results, operating experience gained and some of the key lessons learned.
