A numerical simulation study of CO2 capture process for an electric central
Abstract Amine absorption technology, in particular that based on the Monoethanolamine (MEA) process, is considered to be viable for low pressure flue gas CO2 capture because of the MEA- CO2 fast reaction rate. MEA absorption processes are...

Conversion of existing coal-fired power plants to oxyfuel combustion: Case study with experimental results and CFD-simulations
Abstract Oxyfuel combustion is one of the promising technologies to enable CCS for new and existing coal-fired power plants. For retrofit applications, oxyfuel is an attractive option because it does not have major impact on the boiler-turbine steam ...

SEWGS process cycle optimization
Abstract Sorption-enhanced water-gas shift (SEWGS) is a technology for pre-combustion CO2 capture, which can be integrated in an IGCC plant. A computer model is used to simulate the SEWGS unit, using a counter-current steam rinse cycle with one...

Integration of a subsequent CO2 scrubbing in the coal-fired power plant process
Abstract For an efficient integration of a subsequent CO2 scrubbing in a power plant, it is necessary to analyze the heat sources and sinks which go along with the scrubbing. For this purpose, a model of the CO2 absorption and desorption process is...

On the Performance and Operability of GE’s Dry Low NOx Combustors utilizing Exhaust Gas Recirculation for PostCombustion Carbon Capture
Abstract The capture and sequestration of CO2 will be necessary to mitigate CO2 emissions from fossil fuel (coal, oil, natural gas or biomass) power generation facilities in a carbon constrained world. Post combustion carbon capture is a viable...

Ex-situ Measurement of Properties of Gas Diffusion Layers of PEM Fuel Cells
Abstract The gas diffusion layer (GDL) of the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell is a vital component in water management since humidification and water removal are both achieved through the GDL. Capillary action in the GDL porous structure...

Dynamic Modeling of Post-combustion CO2 Capture Using Amines–A Review
Abstract The recent years have seen growing attention towards the study of dynamic behavior in post-combustion CO2 capture plants using amines, albeit, apparently contesting yet without comparison or critique. This paper reviews what has been...
