1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 Scope
In 2013 Tees Valley Unlimited (TVU) secured a City Deal to progress the development
of an industrial carbon capture and storage (ICCS) scheme. This has initiated the
development of a carbon capture scheme involving four of the more significant CO2
emitters in the Teesside area; Sahaviriha Steel Industries (SSI), Growhow, BOC and
Lotte. TVU have engaged Pale Blue Dot to co ordinate the overall ICCS scheme.
As the technology licensor for the BOC Hydrogen Plant, Foster Wheeler were engaged
to provide a feasibility level design for a CO2 Capture Plant which would recover CO2
and deliver it to the plant battery limit where it would be collected by others for
sequestration.
This study includes an assessment of the technical performance, cost and economic
performance of post combustion capture from the reformer flue gas stream using an
aqueous Mono ethanolamine (MEA) solvent.
The study also includes a high level assessment of the potential carbon capture
technology options available for implementation at the BOC Hydrogen Plant, together
with recommendations for next steps.
2. Carbon capture from the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit tail gas;
Expected to achieve an overall capture rate of 49% using MEA unit based on
90% CO2 capture. This option reduces the amount of CO2 produced overall for
the same hydrogen production.
3. Carbon capture from the synthesis gas feed to the PSA unit;
Expected to achieve an overall capture rate of 49 54%. This is the essentially
the same as above as only reforming product CO2 is captures. Just removed
upstream of the PSA unit rather than downstream. This would use technologies
that are more suited to higher operating pressure. This option also reduces the
amount of CO2 produced overall for the same hydrogen production.

Block Flow Diagram of Hydrogen Plant with Post1Combustion CO2 Capture Plant
In the Hydrogen Plant, CO2 is produced in two places. Firstly, as a by product of the
steam reforming reactions this CO2 forms part of the Tail Gas stream; secondly, in the
combustion side of the steam reformer furnace, where the Tail Gas, along with
supplementary fuel is burnt. The Flue Gas from the Reformer contains both the
reaction CO2 and the combustion CO2.

Our preliminary design is based on a standard CO2 capture efficiency of 90% which
gives hourly CO2 capture rate of 35.5 te/h. However, the overall annual capture rate
depends on overall plant availability i.e. the proportion of time that the CO2 Capture
Plant is on line whilst the HPU is running. A preliminary availability of 98% has been
assumed which gives an annual CO2 capture rate of 304,460 te/year.
Note that power generated offsite and imported into the facility will create its own
carbon footprint. The impact of that carbon footprint has not been considered in this
study, but may have an effect on the emissions mitigation credits that the scheme can
receive.
Two other options have been considered at a high level owing to the time constraints
on this initial study. These options are;
Option 1 CO2 recovery from the Tail Gas stream (shown above).This a low pressure
reject stream from the Pressure Swing Absorber (PSA) Unit. This stream is
rich in CO2; it only contains the CO2 produced in the Reforming process
and does not capture the combustion CO2.
Option 2 CO2 recovery from the feed stream to the PSA Unit. This stream similarly
contains only the process CO2 and does not capture the combustion CO2.
The difference is that this is a high pressure stream and the CO2 partial
pressure is considerably higher.
Parts of the plot identified for the CO2 Capture Plant are not currently owned by BOC.
Land acquisition has not been addressed in this study, and costs associated with
acquiring and initial preparation of land have been excluded from our estimate.
For the Hydrogen Plant itself (Unit 100) no significant modifications are required. The
cost of the tie ins to the Reformer flue gas is included in Unit 500.
A more detailed breakdown of the estimate and the basis of the estimate is provided in
Attachment 6.
At over £3.7m/year, the cost of importing power is by far the largest element,
accounting for 85% of the total variable operating costs.
MC – Mechanical Completion
RFSU – Ready for Start up
Key elements of the projected schedule are the delivery times for the major plant items.
The delivery time for the CO2 Compressor is likely to be 15 – 18 months.
1.8 Conclusions
The base case, post combustion CO2 capture is the conventional approach and
provides the highest CO2 capture efficiency. Based on 90% capture, and an overall
availability of 98%, 304 ktpa of CO2 is captured and exported to the collection network.
The base case scheme has been shown to be feasible with an estimated total installed
cost of £43.5 million, an operating cost of £7.2 million per year, and a total project
schedule of 58 months.
The next step would be to carry out a full pre FEED and licensor selection as outlined
in our suggested execution strategy described in section 3.7.
Options 1 & 2 capture only the CO2 produced by the reforming process as a result of
the chemical reactions. The CO2 captured is 19,380 kg/hr, giving an overall capture
efficiency of 49%.
In option 1 the CO2 Capture Plant would use a post combustion capture solvent (such
as MEA) as in the base case and would be around half of the base case capacity, pro
rated directly from the amount of CO2 removed.
The TIC for the CO2 Capture Plant in option 1 has been crudely estimated at £28
million. Some economy of scale is lost but if there is limited capital available, this option
may be attractive.
In option 2, as the feed gas is at high pressure it is likely that a physical absorption
process would be more appropriate to take advantage of the very much higher CO2
partial pressure. The CO2 removal technology would therefore not be that typically
employed in post combustion capture, but more aligned to process gas sweetening. By
removing the CO2 from the feed stream to the PSA unit, the PSA unit would be
significantly de bottlenecked which would provide opportunity to de bottleneck the
HPU.
This study has not looked at the potential costs of these technologies; however it is
clear that if they can deliver the same amount of CO2 capture for lower cost than option
1, then these would be preferred.
• Reducing the TIC of CO2 Compression & Drying Unit by optimising the CO2
export pressure to the network.
• Controllability and potential for combination of the HPU ID Fan and CCP Flue
Gas Blower
• Optimisation of heat recovery between combustion air preheater and gas gas
exchanger, which could reduce DCC capex and cooling load

Foster Wheeler is the technology licensor for the BOC Hydrogen plant which is based
on the patented Terrace Wall® steam methane reformer design. The BOC plant which
commenced operation in 2001 was designed and constructed by Foster Wheeler.
Foster Wheeler also has considerable experience in the design of carbon capture
plants for both power and industrial applications.
Foster Wheeler were engaged to provide a pre feasibility level design and assessment
of the technical performance, cost and economic performance of post combustion
capture from the reformer flue gas stream using an aqueous Mono ethanolamine
(MEA) solvent.
This study also includes a high level assessment of the potential carbon capture
technology options available for implementation at the BOC Hydrogen Plant, together
with recommendations for next steps.
1. Post combustion carbon capture from the main reformer flue gas;
2. Carbon capture from the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) unit tail gas;
3. Carbon capture from the synthesis gas upstream of the PSA unit.
In this study, option 1 has been assumed as the base case for design assessment,
using MEA as a solvent, which is an established technology often referenced as a
capture benchmark, and allows for a largely independent capture scheme with a high
overall capture rate.

The Hydrogen Production Unit (HPU) actually produces CO2 by two separate
mechanisms, by the reforming process itself and by combustion of the fuel gas and
process waste gas streams. CO2 is produced in the reforming process as a product of
the steam methane reforming reaction and the CO Shift reaction
The CO2 produced in the Reforming process is around 21.5 te/h and accounts for
54.7% of the total CO2 produced by the HPU. The product stream from the Reformer /
HT Shift Reactor is cooled and fed to the Pressure Swing Absorber (PSA) unit where
impurities such as CO2, CO and CH4 are removed to produce high purity hydrogen
product. These impurities, together with some of the hydrogen, are rejected in a low
pressure waste stream known as the PSA tail gas. This PSA tail gas is returned to the
reformer fuel gas system where it contributes more than half of the fuel energy demand
of the Reformer.
The steam methane reforming reaction is highly endothermic and a substantial amount
of heat is required to support the reactions in the radiant section of the Reformer. This
heat is supplied by burning the tail gas along with natural gas as supplementary fuel.
The combustion of the tail gas and the supplementary fuel produces a further 17.8 te/h
CO2, bringing the total CO2 produced to 39.3 te/h.
The energy within the hot flue gas leaving the radiant section is recovered in the
convection section of the reformer by feed preheat and by raising superheated high
pressure steam. Some of this steam is used within the HPU as the reaction steam to
support the reactions described above. The surplus steam is known as the co
produced steam and is exported. In the base case the co produced steam is 52.0 te/h.
The BOC HPU however, incorporates additional burners at the outlet of the radiant
section to allow additional HP steam to be produced, and with 100% auxiliary fuel firing
the steam export can be increased to 96 te/h. This allows for additional HP steam to be
exported to external customers.
For the purpose of this study, additional export steam will not be produced and
auxiliary fuel firing will be zero. All of the co produced steam will be fed to the Carbon
Capture Plant (CCP) to provide process heating for reboilers etc.
The HPU is tied into the CCP by diverting the flue gas from the delivery side of the
Induced Draft Blower B 101 to the CCP rather than being sent to flue stack.
At this point the flue gas is at near atmospheric pressure and the CO2 concentration is
17.4 mol% (wet basis). Capturing CO2 at this point will allow for capture of both the
carbon from the reforming process and from the combustion of the tail gas and fuel
gas. Typically 90% of this total CO2 (35.4 te/h) would be captured.
This option is the most straight forward of the options, and achieves the highest rate of
overall capture. As such, this is the option that has been studied in detail in this report.
An important operating mode of the Reformer is the ability to operate in natural draft
mode during certain trip scenarios, such as failure of the ID Fan. In such circumstances
the Reformer trips to what is known as “minimum fire” mode. The firing rate is reduced,
the stack damper is opened and Reformer operates in natural draft mode. This
operating mode must be retained as it forms part of the Reformer protection system
and contributes significantly to the Hydrogen Plant reliability.
• CO2 Capture Unit – CO2 removal scheme developed using in house information
on the basis of a 30% MEA based process;
• CO2 Compression and Drying Unit – dehydration and multi stage compression
to export conditions of 100 barg and 35°C;
• Associated utility systems – new substation, cooling towers and cooling water
systems, waste water buffer tank, etc.
The carbon capture scheme is configured with a single train of MEA absorption, steam
stripping and CO2 compression and drying. None of these units is approaching the
maximum capacity of train size.

the capture facility.
CO2 Capture
A blower boosts the flue gas pressure sufficiently to overcome the pressure drop in the
direct contact cooler (DCC), gas/gas exchanger and absorption column. In the DCC
much of the water present in the flue gas stream condenses as the gas is cooled to
50°C. The condensate is then recirculated through a cooler and returned to the
contact tower. A small quantity of sodium hydroxide may be added to the recirculating
water in order to ensure that any remaining SO2 in the flue gas is removed to meet the
<10 ppm specification to prevent excessive solvent losses. Precipitates and excess
water are removed from the system to waste water treatment.
In the lower portion of the absorption column the flue gas is contacted with semi lean
and then lean amine which absorbs approximately 90% of the CO2 content of the flue
gas. This section also incorporates an extraction and cooling loop in order to ensure
the cooler conditions which are more favourable to CO2 absorption. In the top of the
absorption column the flue gas is washed with water to prevent solvent losses to the
atmosphere. The flue gas is routed back to the gas / gas exchanger, to cool the
incoming flue gas and ensure the absorber vent gas temperature is sufficient for
dispersion (assumed as 125°C), then is released to atmosphere via the stack.
The CO2 rich solvent stream exits the bottom of the absorber column and is pumped to
approximately 5 bara. The stream is then split, with approximately 25% of the flow
passing through 2 stages of heating against warmer solvent streams before being
flashed at a pressure of 1.3 bara. The semi lean solvent from the flash drum is then
cooled against rich solvent and returned to the absorption column with the cooled
extracted solvent. The remaining rich solvent is heated against lean solvent in the
cross over exchanger and introduced to the regenerator column.
In the regenerator column the CO2 desorbs from the rich solvent as it is heated
producing a stream of hot lean solvent from the bottom of the regenerator. This lean
solvent is cooled against rich solvent and returned to the absorption column. The
regenerator overheads are cooled to 30°C, condensing a significant quantity of water,
some of which is returned to the regenerator as reflux with the rest being sent to
treatment or recovery.
The acid gas resulting from the semi lean amine flash is compressed in the first of 7
compression stages, after which it is cooled and passed through a knock out drum.
After the first compression stage the main CO2 stream from the regenerator column is
added to the flashed acid gas stream for all the subsequent compression steps.
Between each of the next 4 steps is a cooler and knock out drum, and the CO2 is
compressed up to a pressure of 26 bara.
The CO2 is then dried by molecular sieve adsorption to reach the specification of <50
ppmv moisture. Two dehydration vessels are required since one bed will be in use
whilst the second bed will be in regeneration. The regeneration cycle uses a slipstream

of dried gas exiting the operating molecular sieve bed. The gas is heated using the
returning regeneration gas exiting the molecular sieve bed in regeneration. It is further
heated under temperature control in an electric heater before entering the bed in a
counter flow direction. The wet gas leaving the bed is cooled against incoming gas, any
condensed water is separated in a knock out drum before it is passed through a fines
filter and returned upstream of the 3rd stage compressor. The absorbent regeneration
process takes several hours. When complete the heater is bypassed and the bed is
cooled down over several hours before return to operation.
The final 2 compression stages include intercoolers and an after cooler and result in a
final CO2 product at specification of 100 barg and 35°C.
The product CO2 stream has an oxygen concentration of 9.8 ppm, which meets the
proposed pipeline specification. At <10 ppm O2, the CO2 is acceptable for storage in a
saline aquifer such as National Grid’s 5/42 or other new build underground CO2
storage facility.
However, if an existing oil/gas field is proposed for CO2 storage, such as Shell’s
Goldeneye facility, a much tighter oxygen specification as low as 1 ppm may be
required to reduce well piping corrosion. Reducing the allowable O2 in the CO2
specification will require an additional process, which will add to the cost and
complexity of the overall scheme. A cryogenic CO2 purification unit or a catalytic
purification process would be required in order to produce a CO2 product gas with an
O2 content of below 10ppmv. The O2 polishing process will add to the parasitic load,
require additional plot space and increase the cost of capture per tonne of CO2.
Assuming that the product CO2 from the plant boundary will be sent into the Tees
Valley ICCS network before being transported offshore for storage, it is expected that it
would be more efficient and cost effective to have a centralised O2 polishing system,
for example at a booster station, before being sent to the offshore pipeline.
Utility Systems
Electrical Supply
The estimated power consumption of the new plant is approximately 5.8 MW.
This is over five times the total power consumption of the existing HPU and this
additional power will need to be met by a new 11kV power supply from a third
party. This could be either SABIC Aromatics 2 (11kV substation) or alternatively
from the new Air Products Tees Valley Energy from Waste Plant.
It will require a new package substation to include (1 off) 11kV 1200 amp
switchboard, (2 off) 11/0.433 kV, 1 MVA transformers and (1 off) 415V
switchboard. The package substation would be delivered pre wired. A
preliminary Single Line Diagram is included in Attachment 5 to show the degree
of modifications required to the electrical infrastructure.
The largest single contributor to the power demand is the CO2 Compressor, due
in part to the specified export pressure of 100 barg. Export pressures from
individual producers are a key area for optimisation from an ICCS scheme.
It is also worth considering that the additional power generated offsite and
imported into the facility will create its own carbon footprint. The impact of that
carbon footprint has not been considered in this study, but may have an effect
on the emissions mitigation credits that the scheme can receive.
Steam
For the base case design, BOC’s preference is that export HP steam from the
HPU should be kept to a minimum. Actually, after completing the preliminary
design of the CO2 Capture Plant the co produced steam from the HPU (52te/h)
falls slightly short of that required by the regenerator in the CO2 Capture Unit
(55te/h).
The net effect is that there would be no HP steam export and the overall steam
balance is slightly in deficit. Unfortunately utilising auxiliary fuel firing to increase
the export steam to the CCP would also increase the amount of flue gas
produced and the CO2 produced.
Since all of the co produced steam is utilised by the CO2 Capture Plant, the
condensate treatment system in the HPU will need to be uprated to be able to
treat the steam condensate returned by the CO2 Capture Plant. However, since
all of this condensate is returned, and no steam is exported, the make up
demand will also be much reduced. The net effect on the BFW treatment
system has not been considered in detail at this stage.
Cooling Water
A very large flow of cooling water is required to supply the Carbon Capture
plant. Where this cannot be supplied using heat integration within or between
the process units, cooling water is required.
The estimated cooling water demand of the new plant is approximately 48.9
MW, which corresponds to 4,127 te/h of cooling water. This is almost 10 times
the capacity of the existing cooling tower package at the existing HPU. This
cooling water is supplied as fresh cooling water from a new twin cell
evaporative cooling tower, cooling water pumps and a side stream filter
package.
MEA Storage
Facilities are also required for storage and make up of the MEA based solvent
to the Carbon Capture Unit. Reuse and treatment of the numerous, mainly
small, water streams produced from the cooling of water saturated gas streams
are integrated with the units where possible.
Make1up Water
For a given flue gas composition and operating parameters, as the plant capacity is
increased, the consumption of utilities and chemicals increases approximately linearly
with the mass of CO2 captured.
Generally speaking there are specific economies of scale to be gained from deploying
larger scale plant, such as capital cost savings and plot area reduction. Typically
capital cost is a function of the total CO2 captured, and indeed other studies have
shown that the cost per tonne of capturing CO2 decreases with increasing CO2 capture
rate, but this is far from being the only factor which affects the CAPEX.
The total capital cost of the post combustion CO2 Capture Plant also varies with the
concentration of CO2 in the flue gas feed. A low concentration of CO2 in the flue gas
results in the need for a larger quench, blower and absorber, all of which are significant
items in the capital cost.
CO2 Compression
Also, while economies of scale can be realised by using a single machine to compress
all of the CO2 from the capture unit, in some circumstances opting for 2 x 50%
machines arrangement might be preferable, such as where high turndown is a frequent
occurrence. Inter stage cooling on the CO2 compressor should take place at as low a
temperature as possible to minimise power consumption and to minimise the cost of
the machine.
Pressure control in the flue gas duct needs careful consideration to ensure no fresh air
is drawn into the flue gas duct via the existing stack. Also, pressure control of the
Reformer fire box is particularly important. High high pressure in the fire box initiates a
whole plant emergency shutdown (typically a SIL2 trip).
Tie in to the Hydrogen Plant, the flue gas duct in particular, needs to be aligned with
major plant turnarounds to reduce any impact on existing operations and supply
contracts.
Water Treatment
It has been assumed that waste water from the CO2 Capture Plant can be routed to the
Bran Sands ETP along with the waste water stream from the Hydrogen Plant and an
allowance for this has been included in our economic assessment.
The Hydrogen Plant does not require and does not have a flare system. All vent points
and relief valves discharge to a dedicated high level vent pipe which runs alongside the
high level flue stack. The CO2 Capture Plant similarly does not require access to a flare
system. Relief valves on the HP steam let down system would discharge to
atmosphere at a safe location. The CO2 Capture Plant operates at very low pressure
and the pressures systems can be designed to avoid non routine discharges to
atmosphere.

Our preliminary design is based on a standard CO2 capture efficiency of 90% which
gives hourly CO2 capture rate of 35.5 te/h. However, the overall annual capture rate
depends on overall plant availability i.e. the proportion of time that the CO2 Capture
Plant is on line whilst the HPU is running. A preliminary availability of 98% has been
assumed which gives an annual CO2 capture rate of 304,460 te/year.
Note that power generated offsite and imported into the facility will create its own
carbon footprint. The impact of that carbon footprint has not been considered in this
study, but may have an effect on the emissions mitigation credits that the scheme can
receive.
Attachment 4 includes a preliminary plot plan showing the extent and arrangement of
the new facilities for the CO2 Capture Plant, and the modifications to the Hydrogen
Plant and associated services and utilities.
The original plot identified by BOC as the location of the CO2 Capture Plant was the
open area of ground enclosed by the existing access road. Unfortunately this area
been found to be too small to accommodate everything required. Although the main
CO2 Capture Plant can be accommodated here, additional land is required.
A number of auxiliary items such as the new Cooling Tower Package, the MEA Storage
Tank, Waste Water Buffer Tank and a new substation have needed to be located on
separate areas to the west of the HPU, adjacent to the redundant Cumene plant
control room. As a consequence a pipe bridge across the existing service road is also
required.
One of the main considerations in developing the plot plan is the flammability or toxicity
of the process fluids contained with the process. In the CO2 Capture plant the only
hydrocarbon that is present in significant quantities is the MEA. Pure MEA has a
flashpoint of 96°C. The highest risk is in the Regenerator Reboiler where the
temperature is 115°C. But even here the MEA is a 30 wt% solution in water and is
therefore not considered flammable. To provide inherent safety the MEA Regenerator
Column and Reboilers are located furthest away from the existing control room and
transformers.
Pure MEA has a freezing point of +10°C and will therefore most likely be delivered as
Low Freezing Grade (LFG) which is an 85 wt% MEA solution in water having a freezing
point of 13°C. Stored at ambient temperature, MEA would not be considered to be
flammable and electrical equipment would be classified accordingly.
The CO2 Capture Plant itself consists of the CO2 Capture Unit, Compression and
Dehydration plant. Within the CO2 Capture Plant the main layout considerations are as
follows:
The break in to the large duct on the discharge side of the existing Induced Draft Fan
(B 101) will require structural steel and the Flue Gas Blower (BL 201) has therefore
been located as close as possible to this break in.
Actually, there are two possible positions for flue gas blower; before or after the Direct
Contactor Cooler (C 201). In our proposed scheme the Flue Gas Blower (BL 201) is
upstream of C 201 and would be essentially a carbon steel machine, sized to
accommodate the high volume of the high temperature flue gas from the HPU. The
control of BL 201 and the existing Induced Draft Fan (B 101) would require careful
consideration. At present BL 201 is specified as a fixed speed machine but it may be
necessary to use a variable speed drive to provide adequate control. This requires
further review. As the absorbed power of BL 201 is around 1.1MW a variable speed
drive on BL 201 would require significant changes and would add significant cost to the
new electrical supply infrastructure.
Alternatively, the Flue Gas Blower could be installed downstream of the DCC. At this
location although the actual volume flow would be reduced but as the suction side
would be at water dewpoint the materials of construction would need to be significantly
upgraded which would increase cost. The same considerations with regard to control
would still apply. Further review is required to determine the optimum blower
arrangement.
The Direct Contactor Cooler (C 201) and the Absorber (C 202) have been positioned in
close proximity to reduce duct length and the requirement for structural steel between
these columns. This configuration minimises initial capital cost in this area associated
with stainless steel ducting and structural work.
Regenerator Column
The inlet suction volume flow and power requirement of the CO2 compressor is
particularly sensitive to the inlet pressure of the first and second stage. K 201 has been
located close to the Regenerator Column to minimise power consumption.
Owing to the interconnecting streams between these units the CO2 Dehydration
Package is located close to CO2 compressor in order to minimise pressure drop and
hence the overall compression power.
A capital cost estimate has been developed at a pre feasibility level of accuracy
(typically +/ 30% on total installed cost). Equipment costs have been estimated based
on sized equipment lists, using Foster Wheeler’s in house indexed version of
AspenTech Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE) software, which is benchmarked against
the latest market information available.
Equipment costs have then been developed from the sized Equipment List (Attachment
2) using a combination of factors and in house knowledge gained on similar projects to
provide Total Installed Costs.
The estimates represent the base cost for the engineering, procurement and
construction of the work. The estimates exclude any land acquisition costs, initial site
remediation, demolition or development. It has been assumed that the site is clear and
level and hence all necessary earthworks are excluded from the estimate scope.
Estimate Scope
The estimate has been based on instantaneous cost levels for 4Q2014 and
summarised in GBP. The estimate, together with the exclusions stated, represents
Foster Wheeler’s view of the installed cost of the project based upon the scope of
works outlined within this report.
The estimate has been broken down into the following Estimate Breakdown Structure
(EBS):
• Direct Materials
• Construction Indirects
• EPC Services
The estimate summary shows the entire project cost split by EBS & WBS. No
Contingency or Forward Escalation has been applied within the estimate.
General Methodology
Equipment costs were estimated using the Aspentech Capital Cost Estimator (ACCE)
Version 8.4 estimating software, indexed to reflect Foster Wheeler’s view on current
cost levels.
Bulk material costs and construction costs have been estimated using factors based on
previous CCS studies and recent projects in Teesside. Statistics from similar projects
were used as benchmarks to check and adjust the output from the ACCE models.
Benchmarks have been set for cost and quantities, allowing the factors held within the
ACCE models to be adjusted to suit the most likely expected out turn cost for the
project.
Other utilities & tie ins preliminary quantification of the electrical equipment,
interconnecting pipe lines/tie ins and site infrastructure has been included under this
heading.
Construction
This includes the cost of the related labour associated with equipment placement, and
the installation of bulk materials of piping, electrical and instrumentation. The
construction element of the estimate is assumed to be a traditional “stick built” facility.
It also includes the construction of work elements normally procured on a design and
supply basis such as tankage, civils, steelwork, buildings and protective cover.
The construction and location labour costs were based on all inclusive local
construction rates as follows.
The local construction rate includes all direct and indirect costs including profit. These
all inclusive rates were derived from Foster Wheeler current knowledge of the region.
Indirect Costs
EPC Engineering
This cost element includes the various engineering and support activities needed to
design and procure the project that would normally be incurred by the Engineering,
Procurement & Construction (EPC) contractor.
The estimates allow for EPC project management, detailed engineering, procurement,
interfacing with licensors and package vendors, and home office construction
management, and are based on typical factors based on in house experience.
The EPC contractor’s construction management team has been based on a statistical
average for this type of project. Is has been assumed that most of Field Supervision
personnel would be local.
Temporary Facilities
An allowance has been made for EPC Contractor’s Temporary Facilities based on in
house experience.
Other
Factored allowances have also been made for vendors engineers and heavy lifts
based on in house experience.
Without any enhancements MEA units are considered to be open art and for the
purpose of this study Amec Foster Wheeler have prepared the preliminary design.
However, it is likely that the MEA unit would ultimately be provided by a licensor
specialising in these units. Although such units will have enhanced performance they
will attract a license fee. At this stage all the license fees have been excluded from the
estimate. Licensor selection typically forms part of the pre FEED work.

It is assumed that certain support functions could be acquired from BOC’s engineering
team which covers other installations, at Teesport for example.
These costs include all other Company services not directly involved in the operation of

• Management
• Personnel services
• Technical services

These services vary widely from company to company and are also dependent on the
type and complexity of the operation.
An amount equal to 30% of the direct labour cost has been used to account for
administrative and general overhead costs. This is typical for a new build on a
greenfield site and could possibly be reduced to account for support services already in
place to cover the HPU and other BOC assets in the region.
Maintenance
The annual maintenance cost of the carbon capture plant is typically 3% of the CAPEX,
depending on site specific factors.
The variable costs include the consumption of feedstocks and fuels, catalysts,
chemicals and solvents. These costs are annual, based on the expected equivalent
availability of the plant. The variable costs mainly include the following:
Fuel
The CO2 Capture Plant does not require fuel gas. All the process heating is provided
by the HP steam exported by the Hydrogen Plant.
Steam
In the preliminary design the steam demand of the CO2 Capture is entirely met by the
co produced steam from the Hydrogen Plant. Since there is no requirement to use
auxiliary fuel firing to increase steam production, the HP steam export to the CO2
Capture Plant has been assumed to be zero cost.
Electricity
It is assumed that import power will be supplied to the carbon capture unit from over
the fence. The cost assumed for power supply over the fence in 2014 is £75/MWh.
Make up Water
It is assumed that Gately water, supplied by Northumbrian Water will be supplied to the
CO2 Capture Plant to meet all requirements.
The cost assumed for water supply over the fence in 2014 is taken as £0.2/te.
Waste Water
It is assumed that waste water will be discharged from the CO2 Capture Plant will be
routed along with the waste water from the Hydrogen Plant to Bran Sands.
The cost assumed for waste water discharge in 2014 is taken as £1.5/te.
There will be some operating costs associated with replacement and disposal of
solvent used in the capture plant, chemicals and filter media required for capture plant
and cooling tower operation, and co2 dryer package adsorbent. As these depend on
the selected licensors and equipment suppliers, these have not been quantified at this
stage.

A projected level 1 schedule for the Carbon Capture Plant is included in Attachment 7.
This summarises whole project execution from appointment of Pre FEED (Front End
Engineering Design) contractor through to RFSU (Ready for Start Up). The schedule
commences at month 1 with the appointment of Pre FEED contractor.
The schedule only considers the CO2 Capture Plant within the ICCS scheme. The CO2
collection network and booster compression systems are excluded.
Project Phases
The schedule is based on implementing the carbon capture project through the
following project phases;
Key Activities
• Pre$FEED Phase
We propose a pre FEED during which the basis of design and scope of work
will be fully developed to confirm economic feasibility. During the Pre FEED
period a licensor Request for Quotation (RFQ) will be prepared and a
preliminary licensor short list will be drawn up. The main FEED contractors will
also be pre qualified during this phase. The TIC estimate (±30%) will be
updated as the basis for owner to sanction FEED phase.
The schedule assumes that the licensor has not been pre selected, and that the
licensor and FEED contractor are independent of one another. A four month
period is indicated from the issue of licensor enquiry, for licensors to prepare
responses, be evaluated, to then conclude negotiation of the licensor
agreement.
The ITB package for the appointment of a FEED contractor is issued in parallel
with the licensor enquiry. A four month period is assumed from issue of ITB to
award of FEED. This allows approximately 6 to 8 weeks for bid preparation, 4 to
6 weeks evaluation, and 4 weeks for final commercial evaluation and approval.
The schedule reflects a reimbursable FEED contract. The FEED may be let on
a lump sum basis, in which case the bid preparation period would need to be
extended.
Kick off with the licensor is held until the FEED contract is awarded, so that the
FEED contractor can participate in the licensor kick off meeting. Preparation of
the licensor PDP and overall FEED package then progress in parallel with
intermediate release of licensor design deliverables to the FEED contractor. A
five month period is assumed for preparation of the licensor PDP, and a nine
month period is allowed for the FEED. This allows a four month lag to finalise
the engineering package and cost estimate after issue of the final PDP. At the
end of FEED a technical design specification, EPC ITB package and TIC cost
estimate (target accuracy+/ 10%) are issued.
• EPC Contract
One month lag is allowed between the issue of the FEED package release of
the EPC ITB package. This period allows for owner’s review of the FEED
package.
It is assumed that the scope is let as a single lump sum EPC package. A seven
month period is allowed for EPC contracting from ITB issue to EPC contract
award. This allows approximately 14 to 16 weeks lump sum bid preparation, 8
weeks bid evaluation, and 6 weeks final negotiation and owner approvals.
The bid preparation time allowed assumes that the EPC contractors are
provided with a comprehensive FEED package providing a sound basis for
developing lump sum pricing.
• Project Sanction
o Initial budget release to conduct pre FEED, engage the licensor and
appoint the FEED contractor;
Time is allowed within the respective contracting spans for owner approvals of
the award recommendations for the FEED and EPC contracts. It is assumed
that budget is allocated to the project in advance of this, based on the Pre
FEED and FEED TIC cost estimates. Therefore project finance and sanctioning
is in place so as not to impact the overall schedule critical path.
The EPC span is determined by the lead time for the CO2 compressor package,
which is assumed to be purchased by the EPC contractor within one month of
award of the EPC contract. Our current knowledge is that the delivery period for
the CO2 Compressor is in the region of 16 – 20 months.
The EPC contractor will develop the equipment purchase order as part of their
lump sum bid preparation, and will revalidate the purchase order upon award of
the EPC contract. A manufacturing lead time of 18 months is shown, based on
budget enquiry responses from relevant vendors. A six week period is allowed
for shipping equipment to site.
Lead times for other equipment items (e.g. tower, drums, exchangers, tanks,
pumps, dehydration package) are typically in the region of 12 to 14 months and
these are purchased progressively such that equipment arrives on site at the
same time or before the compressors. A construction installation sequence
would be developed to allow equipment installation to progress prior to the
compressor arriving on site.
During the EPC phase the owner project team is assumed to be fully resourced,
empowered, and resident in the EPC contractors’ office during detailed design
to ensure that; engineering deliverables are reviewed expediently as the design
develops.
An indicative two month span is scheduled between MC and RFSU for finishing
commissioning activities, based on a phased handover of systems.
As outlined in Section 2.1, the CO2 could be captured from any of following three
streams:
Removal efficiency of about 90% can be achieved from reformer flue gas and from
PSA tails gas, and more than 99% can be achieved from raw H2 at higher pressure. It
is also possible, in principle, to combine CO2 removal option 3, with 1 (from flue gas),
and obtain an overall removal efficiency of about 94 and 96% respectively.
There are several and different available technologies for CO2 removal, at different
stage of development and commercialisation.
The CO2 present in the steam reformer flue gas has a very low partial pressure (about
0.2 bara) and the flue gas actual volumetric flow is approximately 60 times more than
the PSA feed syngas volumetric flow (m3/h). These two factors and the presence in the
flue gas of components like oxygen, sulphur, NOx, makes the CO2 removal from this
stream generally more complicated and expensive. Nevertheless the amount of CO2 in
this steam is highest.
For this study, CO2 capture from reformer flue gas has been considered as the base
case with 90% capture efficiency achieved using an amine solvent.
There are several technology providers using different chemical solvents available
which are suitable for post combustion CO2 capture. Listed below are the main
technologies for post combustion capture:
• Chilled ammonia;
• Amino acid;
Carbon capture from the flue gas has an advantage compared to capturing from the tail
gas or PSA feed gas as no pre investment is needed in case of retrofit of a traditional
plant. However additional ducting and ID fan addition/replacement shall be considered
when the capture unit is added to the HPU.
There are several licensors active in the post combustion carbon capture technologies,
including MHI, Fluor, Shell, Aker and Alstom. The most common post combustion
carbon capture solvents are amines, amino acid salts and ammonia based solvents.
The most common equipment configuration for post combustion carbon capture is CO2
absorption in an absorption column, followed by solvent regeneration in a regeneration
column. The majority of the technologies discussed adopt this configuration; however
solvents and process conditions employed vary between technology suppliers.
The MHI flue gas CO2 capture process, “KM CDR Process®” (Kansai Mitsubishi
Carbon Dioxide Recovery Process) has been co developed by MHI and Kansai Electric
Power Company (KEPCO) since 1990. The process utilizes the proprietary KS 1
trademark solvent which is based on advanced hindered amine technologies. MHI’s
carbon capture process consists of three main sections; flue gas cooling, CO2
absorption and solvent regeneration.
MHI’s technology is well established with many commercial plants using this
technology, capturing CO2 from both power generation and other sources. Based on
the numerous commercial plant experiences capturing CO2 from natural gas flue gas
streams, MHI now offers large scale commercial single train CO2 recovery plants. In
addition MHI are currently developing even higher efficiency solvents such as KS 2TM
and KS 3TM which claim to have lower regeneration energies and lower levels of
solvent degradation. MHI are also developing new and improved processes which are
to be applied to future plants.
Econamine FG Plus is an amine based post combustion CO2 capture technology. The
proprietary solvent is primarily composed of 30 35 wt% MEA solution, with the addition
of an activator and a corrosion inhibitor. The traditional absorber/ stripper configuration
is employed with some key alterations intended to reduce the energy requirement of
the process. For example, Fluor uses a split configuration in which two parallel solvent
regeneration schemes are utilised: flash regeneration and steam stripping.
Fluor has more than 20 years of experience capturing CO2 from flue gas, mainly for
use in the food industry. The Fluor process has been demonstrated on flue gas from a
combined cycle power plant on a large scale since 1991 and on a pilot plant scale on

flue gas from a coal fired power station since 1997. Several new large scale
demonstration plants are currently in the design and construction phase and due for
start up over the next few years.
BASF, Linde and RWE have formed an alliance to develop CO2 scrubbing technology
using a proprietary solvent, aMDEA, which claims to use 20% less energy than other
chemical solvents and features better stability in the presence of oxygen.
The aMDEA solvent developed by BASF is employed in the carbon capture technology
developed and optimized by Linde. The use of the jointly developed CO2 scrubbing
technology will allow power plants to capture 90% of CO2 of the flue gas.
Cansolv, now owned by Shell Global Solutions, has developed both a CO2 capture unit
and an integrated CO2 capture and SOx removal unit. The benefit of the integrated
plant is a reduction in plot space requirement and a net reduction in energy
requirement as waste heat from the SOx removal section can be utilised in the CO2
capture section.
Cansolv Absorbent DC 101, a patented amine solvent, is employed for the Cansolv
CO2 Capture System which is a traditional CO2 absorption/regeneration process.
The Boundary Dam project, the world's first commercial scale carbon capture and
storage process on a coal fired power plant, uses Shell’s Consolv technology for 90%
CO2 capture. The project began operation in October 2014.
Aker Kvearner and Aker Clean Carbon have been developing carbon capture
technology for more than 15 years. The “Just Catch” scheme aims to test improved
solvents and process innovations, although the exact solvent and process
configuration is not clear.
Alstom carried field validation tests which have successfully demonstrated > 99.9%
pure CO2 product quality at 90% capture rates. The CAP technology is an
environmentally benign process in terms of emissions and generates Ammonium
Sulphate as by product that could be sold as fertilizer. The carbon capture facility built
by Alstom at the Technology Center Mongstad (TCM) is based on Alstom’s Chilled
Ammonia Process (CAP) with a CO2 capture capacity 82,000 metric tons per year.
Powerspan offer a similar proprietary ammonia based CO2 capture process known as
ECO2. This is of the same configuration as the Alstom chilled ammonia process,
however, it does not include the initial cooling stage.
The ECO2 process is designed to follow flue gas desulphurisation (FGD). Flue gas
from FGD is fed to the ECO2 absorption column at 52°C where around 90% CO2 is
absorbed into the ammonia based solvent. The solvent is stripped of CO2 in the
regenerator. Lean solvent leaving the bottom of the regenerator is returned to the
absorber for re use and concentrated CO2 leaving the top of the regenerator is dried
and compressed for sequestration.
Powerspan tested its ECO2 process at its one megawatt pilot facility near Shadyside,
Ohio from December 2008 through to 2010. The pilot testing demonstrated the
advantages of the ECO2 technology result in lower costs, less waste, and a simpler
system to operate and maintain.
The Siemens PostCapTM process employs an amino acid salt solution to capture CO2
from flue gas in an absorption and regeneration configuration.
The benefits of the amino acid salt include its relatively low cost, stability, low
environmental impact, low solvent degradation and low regeneration energy
(approximately 35% lower than MEA). The Siemens PostCapTM process is currently
only suitable for use with flue gas from coal fired power stations; however, Siemens are
currently working with Norwegian utility company Statkraft to develop the solvent for
use in combined cycle gas plants. The Siemens PostCapTM process has been
demonstrated on a pilot plant scale. Siemens executed several engineering studies
and FEED based on the experience from pilot plant operation and its knowledge in
chemical and power plant engineering.
The PSA tail gas is at low pressure (typically 0.35 barg) but has a higher CO2
concentration of 44.9 mol% CO2 (wet basis). The partial pressure of CO2 is about 0.6
bara. With low overall pressure and low CO2 partial pressure, chemical solvent
technology using an amine solvent is typically used as carbon capture process.
The CO2 in this stream is only that produced by the reforming reactions (21.5 te/h).
Therefore for 90% capture (achievable using amine solvent), only 19.4 te/h would be
Revision: O2 Date: Nov 2014
28603 8111 RP 001
BOC HPU CCS PAGE 34 OF 49
STUDY REPORT REV O2
recovered and the overall capture rate would therefore fall to 49%. However, the
reduction in the amount of CO2 captured and the higher concentration of CO2 in the
feed gas would reduce the size of the CCP equipment and associated utilities,
reducing the overall cost and scale of the system. Overall this may prove a more
attractive economic option.
Removing the bulk of the CO2 from the tail gas also reduces the mass flow of flue gas
in the Reformer radiant and convective sections. This reduces the amount of waste
heat that can be recovered in the convective section. In this option there is similarly no
auxiliary fuel firing and the effect of the reduced heat recovery is that the co produced
steam will fall from 52 te/h to 40te/h. However, the steam required by the MEA unit
could be expected to fall approximately in proportion to the quantity of CO2 captured so
the net effect would be perhaps 10 te/h of HP steam available for export.
Also when a traditional plant is to be retrofitted like this, the steam reformer burners
would have to be checked for the new tail gas composition which, being poorer in CO2,
would have a higher tendency for NOx formation, with the consequence that low NOx
burners and/or space for a future installation of a de NOx catalytic system in the
convection section of the heater, may need to be considered.
This option is similar to the one above in that it would only capture the CO2 produced
by the reforming reactions. It is in effect the same CO2, just upstream of the PSA rather
than downstream. However, the feed gas to the PSA unit is at high pressure, typically
21.6 barg, and although it contains only 16.6 mol% (wet), the partial pressure of CO2 is
3.75 bara.
There are several technologies available to remove CO2 from syngas at relatively high
total pressure (20 30 barg) and CO2 partial pressure (3 4 bara).
The CO2 in this stream is only that produced by the reforming reactions (21.5 te/h).
Therefore for a range of capture rates between 90 99%, 19.4 21.5 te/h would be
recovered and the overall capture rate would therefore fall to 49 55%.
• Membranes.
Physical solvents tend to be favoured over chemical solvents when the concentration
and partial pressure of acid gases is very high. Unlike chemical solvents, physical
solvents are non corrosive, requiring only carbon steel construction.

STUDY REPORT REV O2
In general, the economics of CO2 recovery is strongly influenced by the partial pressure
of CO2 in the feed gas. At low partial pressures, physical solvents are impractical
because the compression of the gas for physical absorption is expensive. However, if
the gas is available at high pressure, physical solvents might be a better choice than
chemical solvents.
With this retrofit option, the PSA will have some capacity margin due to the reduced
inlet flow rate after CO2 removal upstream. As discussed in Section 4.1.2, due to
possibility of high NOx concentration in the tail gas after bulk CO2 removal from
syngas, Nox production in the burners would need to be checked.
Reduced mass flow to the Reformer also reduces the amount of waste heat that can
be recovered in the convective section. This will decrease steam production rate.
However, the steam required by the chemical solvent based capture unit could be
expected to be less in proportion to the quantity of CO2 captured. If physical solvent
based capture technology is employed, the amount of exportable HP steam could be
significantly higher.

4.1.1.1)
5.1 Conclusions
5.1.1 Base Case Post Combustion CO2 Capture
The base case, post combustion CO2 capture is the conventional approach and
provides the highest CO2 capture efficiency. Based on 90% capture, 35,450 kg/h of
CO2 is captured and exported to the collection network. However, the overall annual
capture rate depends on overall plant availability i.e. the proportion of time that the CO2
Capture Plant is on line whilst the HPU is running. A preliminary availability of 98% has
been assumed which gives an annual CO2 capture rate of 304,460 te/year.
The base case scheme has been shown to be feasible with an estimated total installed
cost of £43.5 million, an operating cost of £8.38 million per year, and a total project
schedule of 58 months.
The next step would be to carry out a full pre FEED and licensor selection as outlined
in our suggested execution strategy described in section 3.7. This should include
confirming the optimum export CO2 pressure as this has a significant impact on
compression unit cost and import power load / cost.
Options 1 & 2 capture only the CO2 produced by the reforming process as a result of
the chemical reactions. The CO2 captured is 19,380 te/year, giving an overall capture
efficiency of 49%.
In option 1 the CO2 Capture Plant would use a post combustion capture solvent (such
as MEA) as in the base case and would be around half of the base case capacity, pro
rated directly from the amount of CO2 removed.
The TIC for the CO2 Capture Plant in option 1 has been crudely estimated at £28
million. Some economy of scale is lost but if there is limited capital available, this option
may provide an intermediate solution.
As the feed gas is at high pressure it is likely that a physical absorption process would
be more appropriate to take advantage of the very much higher CO2 partial pressure.
The CO2 removal technology would not be that typically employed in post combustion
capture, but more aligned to process gas sweetening.
Option 2 similarly only recovers the CO2 produced by the reforming chemistry,
providing an overall CO2 capture efficiency of 49 55%. This study has not looked at the
potential costs of these technologies, however it is clear that if they can deliver the
same amount of CO2 capture for lower cost than option 1, then these would be
preferred.
By removing the CO2 from the feed stream to the PSA unit, the PSA unit would be
significantly de bottlenecked. This has the added benefit of helping to de bottleneck the
HPU if this is a future objective.
The CO2 export pressure from the BOC Hydrogen Plant to the CO2 network has been
set at 100 barg. From the standpoint of the Hydrogen Plant this significantly increases
the total power consumption of the CO2 Capture Plant and substantially increases the
cost of the CO2 Compressor.
Within the Hydrogen Plant CO2 Capture Plant the minimum CO2 pressure is set by the
Dehydration Unit. To achieve the export CO2 specification, the minimum CO2 export
pressure is 27 barg.
The CO2 network and booster station are being developed by others and we appreciate
that there is an economic trade off between the cost of compression at the distributed
CO2 producing sites, the pressure rating of the inter connecting pipeline and the cost
of the booster station.
It is important that the economic optimum export pressure is used to keep the system
cost low, and ensure there is not a barrier to future producers wishing to join the
network.
There are a number of areas would require further development in the pre FEED
phase. On such area is the control of the existing Reformer ID Fan (B 101) and the
proposed Flue Gas Blower (BL 201). It is possible for example that B 101 could be
totally replaced by BL 201, which would avoid potential controllability issues between
the two machines. The new flue gas duct valves shown on the Reformer PFD mark up
will need to be position proved open, midpoint and closed, and would require a safety
interlock scheme to be developed.

6.1.2 Products
There are no expected changes to the hydrogen product flow rate or purity as a result
of adding the CO2 Capture Plant.
The BOC HPU incorporates auxiliary fuel firing to raise additional HP steam over and
above the co produced export arising from the production of hydrogen. It was agreed
with BOC at the study kick off meeting that auxiliary fuel firing to produce additional
export steam will not be used. The steam export will be entirely used to supply the CO2
Capture Plant with high grade heat for the regenerator reboiler.
The design stack gas temperature at the outlet of the ID Fan B 101 is 135 °C.
The reformer is fitted with low NOx burners and it has been assumed that the
guaranteed NOx emission is not exceeded.
6.1.4 Utilities
There are no expected changes to the utilities at the existing BOC HPU.
Flue Gas
The new CO2 Capture Plant will take the flue gas from the existing reformer as a
feedstock. The flue gas conditions assumed below are those expected for the
“minimum steam” case, i.e. without any firing of the auxiliary burners.

The sulphur content in the natural gas feed is very low. Based on the design
H2S/Mercaptan levels the SO2/3 content in the flue gas is 0.19 ppmwt (dry basis).
Should additional firing through the auxiliary burners be required, this will both increase
the flow and change the composition of the flue gas. This case has not been
considered in the design at this stage.
6.2.2 Products
The addition of the capture plant will have no net effect on hydrogen export capacity of
the HPU.
Carbon Dioxide
The new capture plant will produce CO2 for export at the plant battery limit, in
accordance with the following export specification.
6.2.3 Utilities
Power
Power will be provided from an external source to meet the high power demand of the
CO2 Capture Plant.
Steam
For the original “minimum steam” design case, the total (co produced) steam is 52 te/h
(at 265°C / 42.8 barg). This export steam will be used to supply the CO2 Capture Plant.
Steam condensate will be returned to the HPU. The existing condensate treatment
package / polisher may need to be upgraded to cope with the increased condensate
load.
Process Water
The CO2 Capture Plant will use Gately water as make up to its cooling water system
and as make up to the Absorber Pump around.
Nitrogen and instrument nitrogen for the CO2 Capture Plant will be imported at the
battery limit. It is assumed that sufficient N2 can be made available.
Plant Cooling
Effluent Water
There is a single connection to the water sewer (closed header) with a pH limit of 6 8
and a temperature limit of 30ºC. The existing cooling water system blowdown and the
steam system blowdown discharge to the sewer. Effluent from the cation polishing unit
regeneration is also routed to the sewer after pH adjustment.
The combined effluents from the CO2 Capture Plant are assumed to be routed offsite
for third party treatment.
The following assumptions have been made relating to the CO2 Capture Plant design
aspects:
Ambient Conditions
Noise
The noise limit for the plant is 85 dBA at 1 metre from the equipment during normal
plant operation.
The net effect of capturing the CO2 from the reformer flue gas will be to increase the
concentration of NOx in the residual flue gas, which may be subject to a discharge
limitation.
As there is no increase in the mass emission rate, no additional flue gas treatment has
been considered at this stage to reduce the NOx content of the flue gas emitted to
atmosphere.
Site Conditions
The site conditions are assumed to be the same as those for the existing BOC HPU.
