During the long-term test, aerosol sampling and measurement were performed, and a pilot-scale baghouse was tested to determine the effect of bag material and operation on aerosol concentrations in the flue gas. The purpose of the test was to demonstrate the technology’s compatibility with MRY2’s flue gas over an extended period of time. Young Station Unit 2 (MRY2) was a major objective of the project.

A long-term pilot-scale evaluation of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ (MHI’s) KS-1™ solvent at Minnkota Power Cooperative’s lignite-fired Milton R. Project Carbon was designed to address these technical barriers and provide pre-FEED (preliminary front-end engineering and design) information necessary for additional commercial demonstrations to move forward.

Lignite, especially North Dakota lignite, presents its own set of challenges that include the combination of high sodium, sulfur, and ash contents NO x reduction and footprint limitations. The application of CO 2 capture technology to lignite-fired flue gas has challenges in addition to the cost of capture, including the effects of the more » buildup of heat-stable salts, aerosol formation, degradation of solvents or solid sorbents, or subsequent solvent loss.

Establishing a market where lignite-powered utilities provide carbon dioxide (CO 2) to oil producers depends upon having a cost-effective method to capture CO 2. CCUS coupled with enhanced oil recovery appears to be the most feasible option for utilities to sustain and grow the lignite industry. The continued long-term use of North Dakota lignite is likely dependent on creating a business case for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) that also addresses society’s desire to reduce carbon emissions.
