Heatric has been chosen to supply the vitally important recuperative heat exchangers for the first-of-a-kind supercritical CO2 (sCO2) power plant being built by NET Power, CB&I, Exelon Generation, Toshiba and 8 Rivers Capital in Texas, USA.
Under this deal, Heatric will deliver four printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) by the end of April 2016. The 50MWt demonstration plant is expected to begin commissioning towards the end of 2016.
Net Power’s novel ‘Allam Cycle’ power system is the first natural gas-fired power generation system able to produce low cost energy with zero air emissions. The plant’s only major by-products are liquid water and a pipeline-quality, high-pressure stream of carbon dioxide ready for sequestration or industrial use. “This technology is a potential game-changer when it comes to the rapid reduction of carbon emissions from fossil fuel power generation. We are very pleased to be part of such an exciting and important project with such global potential”, says Heatric general manager Adrian Tattersall.
