In this paper, the methods of the integration of a supercritical coal-fired power plant with membrane CCS installation are shown. In addition to membrane modules, the CCS installation also consists of two vacuum pumps and two CO2 compressors. In this paper, the relationship between the auxiliary power required to drive these machines and the recoverable amount of heat is shown. This relationship is the reason for the integration of the supercritical coal unit with the CCS installation, which is used for cooling compressed CO2 in the CCS installation by use of condensate (or feed water) from the supercritical coal unit cycle. This cooling process causes both a reduction of the auxiliary power required to drive the compressors and vacuum pumps and increase of power ratio of a steam turbine. In this paper, the optimisation method for minimising the decrease of overall efficiency of the power plant connected with its integration with CCS installation is shown. This results in choosing the optimal pressure ratios in the applied compressors and vacuum pumps under the condition of sufficient heat transmission to the steam turbine cycle. For investigated units, the cost of CO2 emission avoidance and the break-even price of electricity were also calculated.
► The way of integration of a coal-fired unit with a membrane carbon capture installation has been proposed.
► The methodology for determining the optimal division of pressure ratio in a membrane installation has been developed.
► The optimisation of the integration of a membrane installation with supercritical coal-fired unit has been carried out.
► The economic analysis for a coal-fired unit integrated with a membrane installation has been carried out.
