An IGCC plant which can improve the power generation efficiency and which
can suppress the emission of sulfur components and dust into the
atmosphere is provided. The IGCC plant described above has a coal
gasifier for converting pulverized coal to a syngas; an exhaust heat
recovery boiler generating steam; a gas turbine system which is operated
by the syngas and which supplies a combustion exhaust gas to the exhaust
heat recovery boiler; a steam turbine system operated by the steam
generated by the exhaust heat recovery boiler; a power generator
connected to the gas turbine system and/or the steam turbine system; a
desulfurization device for removing sulfur components from the combustion
exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust heat recovery boiler; and a
wet-type electric precipitator for removing sulfur components and dust.
