Well just go at the jub hunt like a storm trooper and you're sure to find something even better.

(Word of advice, just don't look like a strom trooper...)

Is your company using the CFBs??

If I understand you correctly, yes, the oxygen mixes with the flue gas as it enters the CFB.  The flue gas is then cooled and any dust and ash from the burning process are removed in a dust collector.  Part of the flue gas is then recirculated with the oxygen and the rest is processed into high purity CO2.  Trace amounts of nitrogen and argon are then separated from the CO2 and vented to the atmosphere.  The clean CO2 is then compressed and travels by pipeline to an underground storage facility.

Sounds very similar to the current setup at the northside station.  That place is absolutely amazing to see up close and personal.

Everything I'm reading about the natural gas fired plants is the the gas is quite a bit more expensive than the coal.

I'm pretty sure its almost exactly the same set-up without the O2 injection.  The new plants acually have a cryogenic air separation plant on site to supply the oxygen. 

These plants truly are amazing feats of technology providing a product and service absolutely essential to our economy and our lives.
