TIPS Process for Power Generation and CO2 Capture
In cooperation with ThermoEnergy Corporation of the U.S.A., CanmetENERGY Combustion Optimization Group has developed a multi-fuel combustion process termed HiPrOx (High Pressure Ocy-fuel). This novel high-efficiency power generating process captures CO 2 , along with other emissions, ready for sequestration. The Process The HiPrOx process uses O 2 to combust fuels at elevated pressures in a boiler. This is in contrast to ambient pressure air or oxy-fuel combustion systems. ...
