The European Turbine Network (ETN) has completed coordination of the H2-IGCC project, advancing the 'technology-readiness level' when burning hydrogen-rich syngas in gas turbines, including the development of combustion processes, materials, turbomachinery and plant optimisation. Bi-weekly news 12 November 2014 I nstead of a solvent based system, which is used by the majority of current CCS systems, the Inventys technology relies on honeycomb structured adsorbents. These are located in a rotating body, very similar in design to a rotating heat exchanger. “One of the key advantages of our approach is that we can utilise existing rotary exchanger technology that has been thoroughly tested and costed,” Boulet said. To date, the company has formed a partnership with Glasgow-based engineering firm, Howdens, to use their heat exchanger frames for installation of Inventys CCS systems. As compared with solvent systems, which require 120ft tall towers, the solid adsorbent system can be used wit
