SCALING-UP OF A HIGHLY MODULAR ROTATING PACKED BED PLANT WITH AN EFFICIENT SOLVENT FOR CAPTURE COST REDUCTION

HiRECORD将在TRL 6上首次展示一个模块化的二氧化碳捕集装置，该装置将包括一个旋转填充床(RPB)吸收塔和一个先进的旋转再沸器(RPB-ISR)分离器。该工厂将具有10t/d的二氧化碳捕获能力，并将使用先进的APBS-CDRMax溶剂进行操作。它将在天然气发电厂(ELPEDISON)、工业燃气锅炉(Total Energy One Tech)和生石灰工厂(CAO Hellas)的场地内运行，突出了使用不同规格烟道气的旋转床工艺的高度模块化和灵活性。与传统的基于MEA的填充床技术相比，先进的捕集工厂将允许高达50%的捕获成本降低。这一减少的原因是，由于使用了RPB，占用的空间至少减少了10倍，对资本支出产生了直接的有利影响，而且由于使用了APBS-CDRMax溶剂和RPB-ISR，再生能源达到了2.0-2.1GJ/tCO2。这些功能还将使对环境和安全的影响降低20%和50%，因为溶剂和操作条件将最大限度地减少排放、腐蚀和化妆要求。技术经济研究还将包括希腊北部的一个工业集群，在那里还将调查二氧化碳利用以及附近地质地点的运输和封存的选择。还将进行广泛的社会、公众接受度和政策研究，包括对工业协会合作伙伴协会的750多名成员进行调查。

In a world’s first, HiRECORD will demonstrate at TRL 6, a modular CO2 capture plant that will comprise a Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) absorber and an advanced RPB disrober with integrated spinning reboiler (RPB-ISR). The plant will be of 10 t/d CO2 capture capacity and will operate with the advanced, APBS-CDRMax solvent. It will be operated on the premises of a natural-gas power plant (ELPEDISON), of an industrial gas boiler (TOTAL ENERGIES ONE TECH) and of a quicklime plant (CAO Hellas), highlighting the high modularity and flexibility of RPB processes with flue gases of different specifications. The advanced capture plant will allow up to 50% capture cost reduction, compared to conventional MEA-based, packed-bed technologies. This reduction will result from at least 10 times lower space footprint due to the use of the RPBs, with direct beneficial impacts on capital expenditures, as well as a regeneration energy of 2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO2 due to the use of the APBS-CDRMax solvent and the RPB-ISR. These features will also enable 20% and 50% lower environmental and safety impacts, as the solvent and operating conditions will minimize emissions, corrosion, and make-up requirements. Techno-economic studies will also include an industrial cluster in Northern Greece, where options of CO2 utilization as well transportation and sequestration in nearby geological sites will also be investigated. Extensive societal, public acceptance and policy studies will also be performed, including surveys to the over 750 members of the industrial association partner SEVE.
