Abstract: A feed water storage and recirculation system for a steam turbine power plant having a post-combustion carbon capture plant which uses steam from the power plant as a heat source for regeneration of absorbent and returns condensate from the post-combustion carbon capture plant to the steam turbine power plant, and a plant with post-combustion carbon capture are described, comprising: a feed water storage tank; a deaerator integral to or fluidly in series with the feed water storage tank; a steam extraction conduit to convey water/steam to the feed water storage tank and deaerator after extraction from a turbine of a steam turbine power plant; a feed water supply conduit to supply feed water from the feed water storage tank to a boiler of a steam turbine power plant; a low pressure condensate conduit comprising at least a PCC condensate conduit to return condensate from an associated post-combustion carbon capture plant to a location upstream of the deaerator, together with the condensate returning through the

Abstract: A steam turbine system is described comprising fluidly in series: at least one high pressure turbine and/or at least one intermediate pressure turbine and at least one low pressure turbine; and further comprising steam outlet means to enable extraction of auxiliary process steam from a location upstream of the low pressure turbine and for example between the intermediate pressure turbine and the low pressure turbine; and at least one flow restrictor in a steam extraction conduit from the or each low pressure turbine. The system is described as part of a steam generator fuelled by carbonaceous fuel combustion with post combustion carbon capture capability.
