Abstract
The problem of a heat exchanger of a heat recovery steam generator being corroded by sulfuric acid is solved, and the gas temperature at the outlet of the heat recovery steam generator is set at a value equal to or lower than the dew point of sulfuric acid, thereby realizing an integrated coal gasification combined cycle plant with high efficiency. A flue-gas-desulfurization-type integrated coal gasification combined cycle plant includes a gasifier configured to convert pulverized coal to a gas fuel; an heat recovery steam generator configured to generate steam; a gas turbine which is operated by the gas fuel and which supplies a combustion exhaust gas to the heat recovery steam generator; a steam turbine which is operated by the steam generated by the heat recovery steam generator; a power generator connected to at least one of the gas turbine and the steam turbine; and a desulfurization equipment configured to desulfurize the combustion exhaust gas discharged from the heat recovery steam generator, the desulfurized combustion exhaust gas being exhausted into the atmosphere, wherein the heat recovery steam generator includes an acid-resistant feedwater heater which preheats boiler feedwater and which is provided at the downstream side of a main heat exchanger.
