Lignite-based polygeneration system has been considered as a feasible technology to realize clean and
efcient utilization of coal resources. A newly polygeneration system has been proposed, featuring the
combination of a 2 300 MW circulating uidized bed (CFB) power plant and atmospheric pressure uidized bed pyrolyzers. Xiaolongtan lignite is pyrolyzed in pyrolyzers. Pyrolyzed volatiles are further utilized for the co-generation of methanol, oil, and electricity, while char residues are red in CFB boilers to
maintain the full load condition of boilers. Detailed system models were built, and the optimum operation parameters of the polygeneration plant were sought. Technical and economic performances of optimum design of the polygeneration plant were analyzed and compared with those of the conventional CFB
power plant based on the evaluation of energy and exergy efciency, internal rate of return (IRR), and
payback period. Results revealed that system efciency and the IRR of the polygeneration plant are ca.
9% and 14% points higher than those of the power plant, respectively. The study also analyzed the effects
of market uctuations on the economic condition of the polygeneration plant, and found that prices of
fuel, material, and products have great impacts on the economic characteristics of the polygeneration
plant. Polygeneration plant is more economic than CFB power plant even when prices uctuate within
a wide range. This paper provides a thorough evaluation of the polygeneration plant, and the study indicates that the proposed polygeneration plant has a bright prospect.

1. Introduction
China relies heavily on coal, which accounts for 81.3% and 71.9%
of the energy supply and energy consumption respectively in 2010
[1]. However, the majority of coal is directly red for power generation, which has low efciency and gives rise to serious pollution.
The exploration of novel efcient and clean coal utilization technologies has drawn much attraction in recent years. Coal-based
polygeneration technology offering synthetic fuels, chemical

converting coal to liquid fuels and electricity with CO2 sequestration. Normann et al. [12] represented a CO2 neutral oxy-fuel polygeneration system co-producing transportation fuel and electricity
by co-ring coal and biomass.
Fluidized bed technology has been widely used in various
applications, such as coal/biomass gasier [1822], coal/biomass
pyrolyzer [2325], catalytic reactor [26,27] and circulating
uidized bed (CFB) boiler [2832]. A novel polygeneration facility
coupling an atmospheric pressure uidized bed pyrolyzer with a
CFB boiler for the simultaneous production of gas, tar, electricity
and steam was proposed by our research group [33], as shown in
Fig. 1. Coal is rstly fed into a pyrolyzer (550750 C) and
pyrolyzed into gas, tar, and char. The heat needed for pyrolysis is
provided by hot circulating solid, which is separated in the cyclone
and collected in the Loop seal of a CFB boiler. Volatiles, i.e., coal gas
and tar, are separated from y ash in cyclones. The char residue
and y ash are sent into the boiler via Loop seals and burnt at about
850950 C. Steam, which is generated in the boiler and back-pass
heat exchangers, can drive steam turbines (not shown here) to
generate electric power. Coal gas and tar can be cooled and separated in gas cooler and clean-up facilities. After purication, gas
is split into two parts; one part is pumped back into the pyrolyzer
to uidize the bed material while the other part cannot only be
used as domestic gas and gaseous fuel, but also be synthesized to
liquid fuel after further clean-up. Tar, chiey comprised of aliphatic
hydrocarbon, phenols, and aromatics, can be rened to chemicals

consists of 2 units, and each unit is 300 MW-scale. A simplied diagram of each unit can be found in Fig. 2. Coal particles are uidized
and combusted with hot air in the boiler at about 900 C. Limestone particles are used to capture SOx in the furnace. Flue gas is
separated from y ash in cyclones and then introduced into back
pass heat exchangers for air and water preheating. Feed water is
heated and evaporated into subcritical steam through the backpass and the furnace. Superheated steam at 16.7 MPa and 537 C
is expanded in the high-pressure turbine to an intermediate pressure of 3.8 MPa. This IP steam is reheated in the reheaters to 537 C
and is then expanded in the IP steam turbine. Finally, the exhaust
from the IP steam turbine is expanded in the LP (low pressure) turbine to 10 kPa and enters the condenser. The condensate water is
sent to a series of low-pressure feed heaters. The heated water is
sent to a deaerator to remove dissolved gases. Deaerated water is
passed through the high-pressure water heaters and is then fed
to the economizer of the boiler [37].
2.2. Polygeneration plant
To tackle the shortage of oil supply in China, many polygeneration
technologies were designed as liquid fuels-oriented [24,10,11,13
15,17]. Similarly, we established a polygeneration system producing
electricity and liquid fuels simultaneously (Fig. 3). The polygeneration system is based on the facility proposed by Zhejiang University
(cf. Fig. 1).
Lignite is ground, mixed with hot ash from boilers, and pyrolyzed in pyrolyzer 1 and pyrolyzer 2. Pyrolyzed char as well as
ash particles then ows from each pyrolyzer into the corresponding boiler where char combustion occurs. The operating
temperatures of each pyrolyzer and each boiler are 700 C and
900 C, respectively. Flue gas ows out of boilers, through
back-pass heat exchangers, and then into the environment.
Steam generated in the furnace and back-pass is used for
electricity generation. The installed capacity of each set of steam
turbine is 300 MW.

HP steam from the HRSG and the heat recovery unit are expanded
in HP steam turbine. The expanded steam from HP turbine is split
into two parts, one is reheated in the HRSG and the other is reheated in the heat recovery unit. After reheated, both parts of
steam mix with other IP steam ows and drive IP and LP turbines
to generate electric energy.
3. Process simulation
This section gives the details of the modeling of main facilities
in each plant mentioned in Section 2. Aspen Plus is selected to
model both plants. This simulation software is a steady state
chemical process simulator and has been widely used in modeling
polygeneration systems [217]. Xiaolongtan (XLT) lignite is selected as the raw material. The typical characteristics of the coal
are reported in Table 1. The details of unit modeling parameters
are presented in Table 2.
3.1. CFB boiler
Comprehensive models of coal combustion in a CFB boiler have
been built in Aspen Plus [53,54]. These models integrating both
hydrodynamic and combustion models have been proved to predict combustion process well. However, these models were rather
complex so that they were time-consuming and heavy computation. To improve computing speed, some researchers neglected

The results calculated by multi-step pyrolysis models are compared with our experimental results. The experiment was carried
out on a 40 t/h XLT lignite-fueled pyrolyzer. The pyrolyzer was
operated at 700 C and uidized by circulating gas. All parameters
in the experiment are the same with those used in our modeling
except that the scale of our model is larger than the experiments
scale. The comparison between modeling data and experimental
results is shown in Fig. 5 (left column: experimental, right column:
modeling). Obviously, modeling and experimental results show
fairly good agreement. Furthermore, according to the heat balance,
we can evaluate the required circulating ash amount, which is
approximately 2389.5 t/h. According to our knowledge of
300 MW scale CFB boiler, this value can be achieved by conventional operation of CFB boiler. Therefore, these models can be used
in our study.

4. Conclusions
This paper presents a new coal-based polygeneration system
co-producing methanol, oil, and electricity by integrating a
2 300 MW CFB power plant with atmospheric pressure uidized
bed pyrolyzers. Detailed steady state models for polygeneration
plant and CFB power plant are separately established. The optimum design of the polygeneration plant is found by optimizing
operating parameters, and its thermodynamic and economic performances are compared with those of the CFB power plant. It is
found that polygeneration plant with higher energy and exergy
efciency is more efcient than CFB power plant. Polygeneration
plant, which has larger IRR (24.07%) and shorter DPP (6.36 years)
and SPP (5.29 years), shows more protable than CFB power plant
at the present prices. Price uctuations have great inuence on the
economic condition of the polygeneration plant. The results of
price factor analysis show that the rises of coal, oil, and methanol
prices sharpen the competitive edge of the polygeneration plant,
while electricity price rise weakens its competitiveness. The results
also indicate that the polygeneration plant has a good economic
feature within a wide range of price uctuations. Overall, the
polygeneration system proposed in this paper is an efcient and
economic technology.
