Download or read book Absorber Modeling and Design in Amine Scrubbing for Carbon Capture written by Tianyu Gao and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Absorber design is associated with the most important trade-off between capital and operating cost for CO2 capture by amine scrubbing process. A rate-based absorber model using aqueous piperazine (PZ) has been developed prior to this work. The model is built from bench-scale or small pilot-scale experiments using "bottom-up" strategies and can be improved by larger scale pilot plant experiments. Three pilot plant campaigns were designed and conducted in this work for model validation and improvement. By identifying the systematic bias of solvent equilibrium and applying one adjustable parameter on PZ concentration (8% for NCCC 2019 and SRP 2018, 3% for NCCC 2018), the model can predict the absorber number of transfer units (NTU) and temperature profile with good accuracy. The packing performance model was also validated using experiments running with less packing area that are away from mass transfer pinch. With pilot plant experiments and process modeling, the absorber design using pump-around absorber with hot flue gas inlet was demonstrated as a superior configuration for flue gas with 4% CO2. The pump-around increases the liquid flow and provides effective cooling to the absorber. This configuration was used to design the first-of-its-kind commercial scale absorber in west Texas. The design requires only 25 ft packing, eliminates direct contact cooler and trim cooler to reduce capital cost, and uses 0.2 lean loading, low pump-around temperature (30 °C), and high pump-around rate to improve the performance and to reduce the operating cost. The hybrid and crossflow absorbers were proposed and simulated as an intensification of the pump-around absorber. The hybrid absorber can be as effective as the pump-around absorber but is constrained by intercooling temperature and water balance. The crossflow absorber features small size and high velocity and is favored when the capital cost is relatively high. Achieving higher removal using amine scrubbing was studied using both PZ and MEA solvent, and the optimal CO2 removal was found above 90% (95% for coal and 93% for gas). Zero emission of power plant was feasible using amine scrubbing with an overall cost of 50.4 $/tonne and should be considered before deploying other direct air capture technologies

Download or read book Carbon Dioxide in Terrestrial Marine Environments written by Kurt House and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of fossil-carbon over the past 200 years has resulted in the accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere. CO2-like other greenhouse gases-slows the rate at which infrared radiation is emitted from the Earth. By increasing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, humanity is altering the Earth's radiation balance in potentially dangerous way.Mitigating humanity's impact on Earth's climate system requires transforming the global energy infrastructure to decrease anthropogenic emissions of CO2. The body of work presented here covers a range of physical and chemical topics important for the mitigation of anthropogenic climate change through the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. This book is focused primarily on addressing CO2 emissions from large stationary point-sources through CO2 capture and storage. A portion of the work, however, is aimed at addressing the long tail of the CO2 point-sources distribution by removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere.The entire CCS supply chain from the thermodynamic limit of the work required the capture of CO2 from power-plants to the long-term chemical and physical evolution of carbon dioxide.

Download or read book Dynamic Modeling of Post combustion Amine Scrubbing for Process Control Strategy Development written by Matthew Scott Walters and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensified process designs with advanced solvents have been proposed to decrease both capital and operating costs of post-combustion carbon capture with amine scrubbing. These advanced flowsheets create process control challenges because process variables are designed to operate near constraints and the degrees of freedom are increased due to heat recovery. Additionally, amine scrubbing is tightly integrated with the upstream power plant and downstream enhanced oil recovery (EOR) facility. This work simulated an amine scrubbing plant that uses an intercooled absorber and advanced flash stripper configuration with aqueous piperazine to capture CO2 from a 550 MWe coal-fired power plant. The objective of this research was to develop a process control strategy that resulted in favorable closed-loop dynamics and near-optimal conditions in response to disturbances and off-design operation. Two models were created for dynamic simulation of the amine scrubbing system: a medium-order model of an intercooled absorber column and a low-order model of the entire plant. The purpose of the medium-order model was to accurately predict the absorber temperature profile in order to identify a column temperature that can be controlled by manipulating the solvent circulation rate to maintain a constant liquid to gas ratio. The low-order model, which was shown to sufficiently represent dynamic process behavior through validation with pilot plant data, was used to develop a plantwide control strategy. A regulatory control layer was implemented and tested with bounding cases that represent either electricity generation requirements, CO2 emission regulations, or EOR constraints dominating the control strategy. Satisfying the operational and economic objectives of one system component was found to result in unfavorable dynamic performance for the remainder of the system. Self-optimizing control variables were identified for the energy recovery flowrates of the advanced flash stripper that maintained good energy performance in off-design conditions. Regulatory control alone could not satisfactorily achieve the set point for CO2 removal rate from the flue gas. A supervisory model predictive controller was developed that manipulates the set point for the stripper pressure controller in order to control removal. The straightforward single-input, single-output constrained linear model predictive controller exhibited a significant improvement compared to PI control alone.
