Newly built (greenfield) power plant offer the advantage of optimised integration measures to reduce the efficiency penalty associated with the application of a post-combustion CO2 capture process by wet chemical absorption. Especially, the integration of waste heat from the desorber overhead...

Nowadays, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been growing continuously due to the increase of energy consumption, generated from carbon-based fuels and has created global warming. In this study, a model of carbon dioxide capture adsorption in a fluidized bed reactor was...

Carbon dioxide (CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>) is one of the primary greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Consequently, emission reduction technologies will be needed to reduce CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> atmospheric concentration. Microalgae may have an important role in this context. They are photosynthetic microorganisms that...</subscript></subscript>

The optimal design of an energy-intensive process involves a compromise between costs and greenhouse gas emissions, complicated by the interaction between optimal process emissions and supply chain emissions. We propose a method that combines generic abatement cost estimates and the results of...

The use of multi-objective optimization techniques is attractive to incorporate environmental objectives into the design of energy conversion systems. A method to locally optimize a given process while considering its global environmental impact by using life cycle assessment (LCA) to account...

This paper uses quantitative electricity supply scenarios to explore the potential for CO2</SUB> storage at locations in the Southern North Sea basin from point sources within a case study region that consists of the East Midlands combined with Yorkshire and Humberside in the UK. The reactions to...

The effect of CP (cyclopentane) as a promoter/additive, in the HBGS (hydrate based gas separation) process for pre-combustion gas mixture was investigated by employing an unstirred reactor configuration. Gas uptake measurements were performed at two different temperatures (275.7 K and 285.7 K)...

Optimization of CCSM (carbon dioxide capture and storage with mineralisation) using RAS (recyclable ammonium salts) was studied here in order to minimize the energy consumption of this process. Water evaporation is required for the recycling of ammonium salts in the process, however the water...

Hydrate based gas separation (HBGS) process with silica sand and silica gel as contact medium was employed to capture CO2 from fuel gas mixture. Gas uptake measurement at three different pressures (7.5, 8.5 and 9.0 MPa) and 274.15 K were conducted for hydrate formation kinetics and overall...

In this work, we present enhanced kinetics of hydrate formation for the clathrate process in the presence of two liquid promoters namely THF (tetrahydrofuran) and TBAB (tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide) in a FBR (fixed bed reactor) for pre-combustion capture of CO2. Silica sand was used as a...
