CES is building upon the knowledge gained from our commercial Direct Steam Gas Generator products to develop new product offerings to satisfy our customers’ needs. The Pressurized Oxy Gas Generator (“POGG”) uses oxygen and a fuel gas to generate clean steam that can be used to power existing steam turbines and/or for use in industrial processes, with zero emissions. CES is working with major international partners to develop and deploy the POGG technology in clean energy applications.
The POGG integrates CES proprietary oxy-fuel combustion technology with compact platelet heat exchangers and seeks to improve overall thermal efficiency. Unlike the DSGG, the POGG indirectly generates a high-temperature, high-pressure working fluid by heating water, or other fluids, across micro-channel heat exchangers, making it suitable for the replacement of traditional boiler or process steam generation systems with full carbon capture. The combustion products, steam and CO2, heat the desired working fluid then are easily separated into water and a high-purity CO2 stream, which is ready for downhole sequestration or beneficial re-use in other industrial applications. Waste heat can also be captured for use by a co-located industrial user, meaning the facility could operate in a co-generation configuration. CES technology is highly advantaged compared to post-combustion carbon capture, as it is both lower cost and can capture almost 100% of the CO2 emissions.
A key advantage of the POGG is its ability to make use of low BTU fuels such as syngas, biogas, and high-CO2 content natural gas that would otherwise be stranded. The CES oxy-fuel combustor has been proven to effectively burn natural gas fuels with as much as 80% CO2 content - unlocking major gas fields for development while capturing up to 100% of the produced CO2. Representing a major milestone towards a transition to a clean energy future.
