METHOD OF CLEANING A CARBON DIOXIDE RICH FLUE GAS AND A BOILER SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of cleaning a carbon dioxide rich flue gas generated in a boiler combusting a fuel in the presence of a gas containing oxygen gas, the method comprisingforwarding the carbon dioxide rich flue gas from the boiler to a gas cleaning system,removing in said gas cleaning system at least a portion of the contaminant content of the carbon dioxide rich flue gas,pressurizing at least a portion of the carbon dioxide rich flue gas from which at least a portion of the contaminant content has been removed, andforwarding at least a portion of the pressurized portion of the carbon dioxide rich flue gas from which at least a portion of the contaminant content has been removed to at least one gas cleaning device for being utilized as a utility gas therein.

Abstract
A boiler system (101) comprises a boiler (2) for combusting a fuel in the presence of a gas containing oxygen gas, and a gas cleaning system (106). The boiler system (101) comprises a compression device being operative for pressurizing at least a portion of the carbon dioxide rich flue gas from which at least a portion of the contaminant content has been removed, and a carbon dioxide supply duct (142; 143; 145) being operative for forwarding at least a portion of the pressurized carbon dioxide rich flue gas to at least one gas cleaning device (108; 110; 111) for being utilized as a utility gas therein.
