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

HiRECORD将在TRL 6上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料床（RPB）吸收器和一个先进的带集成旋转再锅炉（RPB- isr）的RPB解吸器，这是世界上第一个。该工厂将拥有10吨/天的二氧化碳捕集能力，并将使用先进的APBS-CDRMax溶剂运行。它将在一个天然气发电厂（ELPEDISON）、一个工业燃气锅炉（TOTAL energy ONE TECH）和一个生石灰厂（CAO Hellas）的场地上运行，突出了不同规格烟气的RPB工艺的高度模块化和灵活性。与传统的基于mea的填料床技术相比，先进的捕集设备将使捕集成本降低50%。由于使用rpb，至少减少了10倍的空间足迹，对资本支出产生了直接的有益影响，并且由于使用APBS-CDRMax溶剂和RPB-ISR，再生能源为2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO2。这些特性还将使环境和安全影响降低20%和50%，因为溶剂和操作条件将最大限度地减少排放、腐蚀和补充要求。技术经济研究也将包括在希腊北部的一个工业集群，在那里也将调查二氧化碳利用的选择以及在附近地质地点的运输和封存。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SEVE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 desorber 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.
