The Korean shipbuilding giant, Daewoo will build carbon-free, liquid coal plants with unique Scandinavian technology from Norwegian-Swedish Sargas in Oslo and Finspang.

Everything is ready to be built on giant barges at the Daewoo shipyard in South Korea - both kolpannorna and carbon washer.

The entire plant, which has a capacity of 100 MW of electricity, then towed to a coastal city or industry in Asia, Africa, Middle East, Europe or North America and connects to the existing electricity grid in the country.

Revenge for Finspang
If the project proves successful, it is a revenge for a bunch of engineers in Finspang, which ten years ago was played out when ABB got rid of the proprietary technology of coal combustion under high pressure.

- Clean Coal is a new chance for a unique Swedish technology in carbon dioxide emissions will cost a lot of power plant owners, "says Martin Roden, marketing director at the Norwegian technology company sarge and self Civil Engineering from Chalmers with energy as a major.

Sargas has today 30 employees of which the majority of Sargas department in Finspang.

Daewoo's engineers are here
It was last fall as Sargas signed a licensing agreement with Daewoo Ship Build Ning & Marine Engineering and planning is now underway.

- We have nine engineers from Daewoo in Finspang to plan the alignment of our equipment to the barges as coal power plant to be built on, "says Martin Roden to new technologies.

Coal combustion under high pressure
The technology Daewoo license from serge is a patented combination of PFBC combustion technologies and carbon capture with potassium carbonate - HPC, hot potassium carbonate, and a known technique for washing the gas from pure carbon.

PFBC technology was developed during 1970-1990-quarters of ABB in Finspang. The letters are an abbreviation of "pressurized fluidized bed combustion", a technique that burns a paste of ground charcoal, water and limestone in a pressurized fluidized bed boiler.

The pressure is 13 bar and the whole is a prerequisite for the potassium carbonate-general will react with carbon dioxide and make clean flue gases from carbon dioxide - to 90-95 percent, according to Martin Roden.

Already PFBC technology in itself gives lower emissions of sulfur and nitrogen oxide than traditional kolpannor.

Provides more compact power plant
As the combustion occurs at high pressure facility can also be built more compact than a traditional coal power plant with the same effect.

It is, inter alia, the holder of the Korean shipyard to become interested in Sargastekniken - a dense coal plants with carbon capture will fit on a barge.

-    Another market is opening up, as the technology is so compact, is the upgrade of 30-50 years old dirty kolpannor to our clean coal boilers without removing power to the new location, "said Mr Roden.
