Technical Figure of Merit
Y AXIS
Ratio of net plant power output for each gas removal option,
divided by corresponding net power from a base case system
employing 2-stage steam jet ejectors for gas removal. Net
power derived by deducting power duty for gas removal. All
other in-plant utilities assumed equal and outside of this
balance.
Ratio of capital costs of gas removal alternatives to their net

savings as the value of avoided gas removal energy. Basis
of energy savings is the gas removal duty for the 2-stage
steam jet ejector system. This yields a simple payback
period value as years to recover capital costs for each gas
removal alternative.
Values less than 1 indicate technology consumes more power

than 2-stage ejector system for gas removal.
Negative values indicate alternative gas removal system

costs more to operate than a 2-stage ejector system -payback will not happen based on energy savings.
Values greater than 1 indicate alternative technology

consumes proportionally less power than 2-stage ejector
system.

system has no payback period.
Negative payback periods indicate the
alternative gas removal technology actually
loses money compared to a steam jet ejector
system -- payback is unattainable.

Y AXIS
Ratio of capital costs of gas removal alternatives to their net
savings as the value of avoided gas removal energy. Basis
of energy savings is the gas removal duty for the 2-stage
steam jet ejector system. This yields a simple payback
period value as years to recover capital costs for each gas
removal alternative.
Negative values indicate alternative gas removal system
costs more to operate than a 2-stage ejector system -payback will not happen based on energy savings.

onomic Figures of Merit versus Noncondensable Gas Levels

Y AXIS
Ratio of net plant power output for each gas removal
option, divided by corresponding net power from a base
case system employing 2-stage steam jet ejectors for gas
removal. Net power derived by deducting power duty for
gas removal. All other in-plant utilities assumed equal
and outside of this balance.
Values less than 1 indicate technology consumes more
power than 2-stage ejector system for gas removal.
Values greater than 1 indicate alternative technology
consumes proportionally less power than 2-stage ejector
system for gas removal.
Y AXIS
Economic Figure of Merit
The economic figure of merit for each technology in these charts is the
net present value (NPV) of the revenues versus the costs for installation
and operation of the alternative. Revenues are attributed based on
energy savings, which are estimated as the difference between the utility
demand for the alternative gas removal system compared to that of a 2stage steam jet ejector system for the same power plant.
Positive NPV values indicate the alternative gas removal system will
yield a return on investment. Negative values mean the conversion to
and operation of the alternative will lose money compared to retaining a
steam jet ejector system for gas removal. The values plotted below for
NPV are at a fixed point in time listed below the margin of the figures.
By changing the year selected, the returns on investments can be
shown after varying period of operating time.

TO OPERATE NONCONDENSABLE GAS REMOVAL SYSTEMS

This worksheet plots the mass flowrates of drive steam needed to
achieve noncondensable gas removal from the power plant when
the power turbine is being fed sufficient flashed steam to produce 50
MW of power. For the reboiler systems, this does not account for
the vent gas stream discarded from the power process.
See also the adjacent "% SteamUse" plots of the relative rates of
consumption of pure steam. That worksheet does account for
reboiler vent stream losses.

This worksheet plots the percent of pure steam in the plant feed needed to achieve
noncondensable gas removal from the power plant, when the power turbine is being fed
sufficient flashed steam to produce 50 MW of power. The values and plots below do account
for the reboiler losses of steam in the vent gas.
See also the adjacent "AuxGraphs" plots of the mass flowrates of consumption of bulk flashed
steam. That worksheet accounts only for vacuum system gas demand for the reboiler cases.

Case
No.
RETURN
MAIN CASE GROUP 1

5 CASES : HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH PRESSURE, HIGH GAS
B-1
BASE CASE 1 -- single flash, condensing turbine, with 2-stage steam jet ejector vacuum
system to remove noncondensable gases from main condenser. Target 50 MW gross
power output from turbine/generator. Applied ca. 50,000 parts per million CO2 gas (mole
basis, ppmv) in turbine feed steam. Production fluid delivered to flash at 550 oF.
B1.1 ALTERNATE 1.1 -- replace ejector battery with 3-stage turbocompressor train. For
costing, assume redundant ejector train as emergency backup.
Other criteria as per Base Case.
B1.2 ALTERNATE 1.2 -- a vertical-tube, falling film reboiler is installed after the flash separator,
processing raw steam before its entry to the power turbine. Conventional steam jet
ejectors handle the reduced gas load from the main condenser. Adjust the gross plant feed
rate to maintain 50 MW production from the generator. Other criteria as per Base Case.
B1.3 ALTERNATE 1.3 -- using the base case configuration, replace the steam jet ejectors with
eductors for which the motive fluid is flashing, spent brine from the plant inlet flash tank.
Other criteria as per Base Case.
B1.4 ALTERNATE 1.4 -- modify the base case ejector train to a configuration with two stages of
steam jet ejectors and a 3rd-stage turbocompressor. The ejectors will be at higher
efficiency than in a net 2-stage system. A backup 3rd stage ejector is assumed. Other
criteria as per Base Case.

Sheet 4.2 EnFigMerit

ENGINEERING FIGURES OF
Define a technical "figure of merit" as a ratio of net power plant productivities, comparing the respective productivity
common "Base Case." The common bases include overall process conditions and design assumptions outlined in wo
generating capacity (as megawatts) remaining after deducting power losses consumed specifically by the noncondens
system power demand; for the biphase eductor option, also include the power needed to repressurize flashed brine
megawatts or as percent of gross plant capacity -- i.e. the "residual plant capacity." This assumes any other in-pl
considered separately from gas removal power dem
The value of the figure of merit for the Base Case design is 1.00 by this definition. Figure of merit values greater tha
proportion to the value. Figure-of-merit values less than 1 indicate the Base Case
