c) Copy and Insert these 3 Paragraphs in the blank Space :

Pre-combustion CO2 capture relates to gasification plants, where solid or liquid carbon containing feedstock is
converted into gaseous components by applying heat under pressure and, in some systems, in the presence of
steam. In a gasification reactor, the amount of oxygen available inside the gasifier is controlled so that only a
portion of the fuel reacts completely to the products of combustion, namely, water and CO2. This partial
oxidation process provides the heat necessary to chemically decompose the fuel and produce syngas, which is
composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapour and minor amounts of other gaseous constituents, such
as methane.

As illustrated in Figure E-1, oxygen for gasification is generated in the ASU. Raw syngas exiting the gasifier is
cooled and cleaned of particulate before being routed to a series of water-gas shift reactors and raw gas coolers.
These components convert carbon monoxide and steam present in the raw gas to CO2 and hydrogen, thereby
segregating the carbon as CO2 in the high-pressure raw syngas stream, which improves the driving force for
various types of separation and capture technologies termed as acid gas removal (AGR) systems. Once
concentrated, CO2 can be removed during the desulphurisation process through use of a double-staged AGR
unit. Near-term applications of CO2 capture from pre-combustion streams will likely involve physical or chemical
absorption processes, with the current state-of-the-art being a physical glycol-based solvent called Selexol.
Regeneration gas from the AGR plant is fed to a sulphur recovery unit to produce elemental sulphur or other
sulphur compounds. Captured CO2 is dehumidified and compressed to supercritical conditions for pipeline
transport.

The hydrogen rich sweet syngas exiting the AGR system is conveyed to a combustion turbine where it serves as
fuel for the combustion turbine/HRSG/steam turbine power conversion system. The hot combustion gases are
conveyed to the inlet of the turbine section, where they expand through the turbine to produce power to drive the
turbine air compressor and electric generator. The turbine exhaust gases are conveyed through a HRSG. Waste
heat is recovered from this process and used to raise steam to feed to a steam turbine. The exhaust gas from the
combustion turbine and HRSG is released to the atmosphere via a conventional stack
