Oxy-fuel Combustion

Oxy-fuel Combustion: Fundamentals, Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive review of various aspects of oxy-fuel combustion technology, including its concept, fundamental theory, pilot practice, large-scale feasibility studies and related practical issues, such as the commissioning and operation of an oxy-fuel combustion plant. Oxy-fuel combustion, as the most practical large-scale carbon capture power generation technology, has attracted significant attention in the past two decades. As significant progress has been achieved in worldwide demonstration and the oxy-combustion concept confirmed by Schwartze Pump, CUIDEN, Callide, Ponferrada and Yingcheng projects in the past five years, this book provides a timely addition for discussion and study.

• Covers oxy-fuel combustion technology
• Includes concepts, fundamentals, pilots and large-scale feasibility studies
• Considers related practical issues, such as the commissioning and operation of an oxy-fuel combustion plant
• Focuses on theories and methods closely related to engineering practice
