Provided is a combined cycle plant start-up method in which the following steps are executed: a gas turbine start-up step in which the output of a gas turbine is increased to the rated output; a ventilation step in which the supply of steam from an exhaust heat recovery boiler to a steam turbine is started when the temperature of the steam becomes equal to or greater than a preset temperature; and an ST output control step in which after connecting a generator, the flow rate of steam flowing into the steam turbine is controlled so that the output of the generator increases in accordance with a target output change pattern. When the thermal stress becomes equal to or greater than a preset first thermal stress in the ST output control step, the flow rate of steam flowing into the steam turbine is controlled so that the change in the output of the generator becomes smaller than the change indicated by the target output change pattern.

Abstract

A composite amine absorption solution according to the present invention is an absorption solution capable of absorbing CO2 or H2S or both of them in a gas, and is prepared by dissolving (1) a linear monoamine, (2) a diamine and (3) a compound specified by chemical formula (I), e.g., a propylene glycol alkyl ether, in water. In the composite amine absorption solution, these components are multiply intertwined with one another and, as a result, the absorption of CO2 or H2S or both of them becomes satisfactory and the diffusion of the absorbed CO2 or H2S during the regeneration of the absorption solution also becomes satisfactory due to the synergetic effect of these components. As a result, the amount of water vapor in a reboiler 26 that is used in the regeneration of the absorption solution in a CO2 recovery device 12 can be decreased. R1-O-(R2-O)n-R3··· (I)

Abstract

Provided are a method and system for recovering an acidic gas whereby metal ions such as iron ion, a heavy metal ion, etc. in an amine absorbing solution can be quantified within a short period of time at a high accuracy and a factor which enhances the corrosive properties of the amine absorbing solution can be removed at an early stage. The method for recovering an acidic gas comprises a step for gas/liquid contacting a gas to be treated with an amine absorbing solution and thus allowing the absorbing solution to absorb an acidic gas to thereby remove the acidic gas from the gas to be treated, a step for diffusing the gas from the absorbing solution having absorbed the acidic gas to thereby regenerate the absorbing solution and, at the same time, recover the diffused gas, and an analysis step for calculating the iron ion and/or heavy metal ion concentrations in the absorbing solution, wherein the analysis step comprises: a step for controlling the pH of the collected absorbing solution until the ions are adsorbed to a chelate resin; a step for passing the absorbing solution through the resin and thus allowing the resin to adsorb the ions in the absorbing solution; a step for passing the regenerated acidic solution through the resin having adsorbed the ions and thus desorbing the ions and, at the same time, regenerating the resin to thereby give an ion-containing sample; and a step for quantifying the ions in the sample and calculating the concentrations of the ions in the collected absorbing solution on the basis of the quantification results.

Abstract

Provided are method and system capable of quantitatively measuring iron ions in an absorbent amine solution in a short time with high accuracy and enabling an early measure to remove a factor increasing the corrosive effect of the absorbent amine solution. An absorption tower 10 brings target gas containing acid gas into gas-liquid contact with the absorbent amine solution to cause the absorbent amine solution to absorb the acid gas. A regeneration tower 20 releases the acid gas from the absorbent amine solution absorbed the acid gas to regenerate the absorbent amine solution. The absorbent amine solution cyclically used in such a manner is caused to pass through chelate resin of an iron ion analyzer 40 so that the iron ions in the absorbent amine solution are adsorbed on the chelate resin. A regenerant solution is caused to pass through the chelate resin with iron ions adsorbed thereon to desorb the iron ions, regenerating the chelate resin and providing the regenerant solution containing iron ions. The iron ions in the regenerant solution containing the iron ions is quantitatively measured, and the concentration of iron ions in the absorbent amine solution is calculated.

Abstract

By using a combustion flue gas (18) from a power turbine (16), a high-pressure secondary compressed air (12C) is subjected to heat exchange in a first heat exchange unit (19A) of an exhaust heat recovery device (19), and by using resultant heat-exchanged flue gas (18A), a low-pressure primary compressed air (12A) is subjected to heat recovery in a second heat exchange unit (19B) of a saturator (31). Then, a primary compressed air (12B) that has been subjected to heat recovery in the second heat exchange unit (19B) is introduced into a secondary air compressor (22) to increase the pressure of the air, and then the high-pressure air is subjected to heat recovery in the first heat exchange unit (19A), producing a secondary compressed air (12D). The secondary compressed air (12D) is introduced into a combustor (14) and combusted using fuel.

Abstract

In the present invention, a fuselage is easily manufactured. The method of the present invention includes: scooping a trunk section (6) using a strong back (8-i), the trunk section (6) being supported by a dolly; disposing the trunk section (6) at a predetermined location by moving the strong back (8-i) using a positioner; and joining the trunk section (6) to a standard fuselage when the trunk body (6) is disposed at the predetermined location. This method for bonding a fuselage is capable of supporting the trunk section (6) by the positioner without using a crane. Therefore, according to this method for bonding a fuselage, it is possible to avoid having to provide to the trunk section (6) an outside fitting (101) used when the crane is used, and to more easily manufacture the fuselage.
