Abstract:
Multistage Enthalpy Extraction Technology (MEET) has been introduced with the improvement in integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) technology, offers an attractive alternative of conventional pulverized coal and natural gas power generation in term of cycle efficiency & emission complaisance. But while operating cost is low, the high capital cost of IGCC has threatened its competitiveness. The improvement in turbine, gas clean up and other design addresses the challenge of high capital cost. The competitive nature of power generation industry could threaten the IJGG Technology. For the Progressive country like Pakistan, it is obligatory that all energy options must be pursued vigorously including coal utilization. This option has relatively good scope because of large resources in the country. Therefore the latest developing concept of MEET will provide considerable process improvement and multi-fuel options for existing and new developments in energy sector of Pakistan.
