PSO based optimized fuzzy controllers for decoupled highly interacted distillation process
Abstract Normally, the highly interacted MIMO process – such as two coupled distillation columns – is decoupled into a group of independent loops and a conventional PID controller is assigned to control each loop. Tuning of conventional PID...

Fluidynamics Modelling for a Fixed Bed Gasifier Using Laplace Transform Finite Difference Method
Abstract The fluidynamics presented in this paper for a fixed bed gasifier consists of estimating the volume fraction fields of gas and solid phases, as well as the velocity fields of gas and solid phases and the pressure inside the fixed bed....

Synthesis, characterization, and mercury adsorption properties of hybrid mesoporous aluminosilicate sieve prepared with fly ash
Abstract A novel hybrid mesoporous aluminosilicate sieve (HMAS) was prepared with fly ash and impregnated with zeolite A precursors. This improved the mercury adsorption of HMAS compared to original MCM-41. The HMAS was characterized by X-ray...

Reaction rate of CO2 in aqueous MEA-AMP solution: Experiment and modeling
Abstract Gas absorption using amines is the most well-established CO2 capture technology available today. Monoethanolamine (MEA) is the commonly used amine while 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), has gained its popularity since it offers a higher...

Effect of flue gas impurities on CO2 capture performance from flue gas at coal-fired power stations by vacuum swing adsorption
Abstract CO2 capture from major stationary emission sites has been studied widely with the increasing realization of the negative impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change. In terms of capture technology, solvent scrubbing, membrane...

Derivation of power loss factors to evaluate the impact of postcombustion CO2 capture processes on steam power plant performance
Abstract When integrating a post-combustion CO2 capture process and a CO2 compressor into a steam power plant, the heat duty for the regeneration of the solvent (and the corresponding steam extraction) shows to be the largest contributor to the...

PEI modified mesocellular siliceous foam: A novel sorbent for CO2
Abstract A series of materials based on mesocellular siliceous foam (MCF) and SBA-15, but modified with branched and linear polyethyleneimine (PEI) were synthesized and investigated as CO2 adsorbents. PEI modified MCFs, have higher PEI loadings than ...

Towards commercial application of a second-generation post-combustion capture technology — Pilot plant validation of the siemens capture process and implementation of a first demonstration case
Abstract The performance of post-combustion CO2 capture processes depends on the applied solvent as well as on the chosen process configuration and the integration concept with the power plant. Siemens bases its development efforts on an amino-acid...
