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

作为世界上第一个，HiRECORD将在TRL 6上展示一种模块化二氧化碳捕集装置，该装置将包括一个旋转填充床（RPB）吸收器和一个先进的带有集成旋转再沸器（RPB-ISR）的RPB解吸器。该工厂将具有10吨/天的二氧化碳捕集能力，并将使用先进的APBS-CDRMax溶剂。它将在一个天然气发电厂（ELPEDISON）、一个工业燃气锅炉（TOTAL COMBERGIES ONE TECH）和一个生石灰厂（CAO Hellas）的场地上运行，突出了RPB工艺的高度模块化和灵活性，可处理不同规格的烟气。与传统的基于MEA的填充床技术相比，先进的捕集工厂将使捕集成本降低50%。这一减少将是由于使用RPB导致的至少10倍的空间占用，对资本支出产生直接的有益影响，以及由于使用APBS-CDRMax溶剂和RPB-ISR导致的2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO 2的再生能量。这些功能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，腐蚀和化妆要求。技术经济研究还将包括希腊北方的一个工业集群，在那里还将调查二氧化碳利用以及在附近地质地点运输和封存的备选方案。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.
