Scaling-up of a Highly Modular Rotating Packed Bed Plant with an Ef?cient Solvent for Capture Cost Reduction (HiRECORD)

HiRECORD将在TRL 6上展示一种模块化CO2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RPB解吸器，并首次集成旋转再沸器（RPB-ISR）。该工厂将具有每天10吨（TPD）的二氧化碳捕集能力，并将使用Carbon Clean的先进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 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MEA溶剂型填充床技术相比，先进的捕集装置预计将减少高达50%的碳捕集成本。预计成本将更低，因为传质设备的尺寸减少了10倍，整体单位占地面积比传统的碳捕获装置小50%。由于使用了APBS-CDRMax溶剂和RPB-ISR，还应具有2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO 2的再生能量。这些功能还可以降低20%和50%的环境和安全影响，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的备选方案，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。

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) for the first time. The plant will be of 10 tonnes per day (TPD) CO2 capture capacity and will operate with Carbon Clean’s 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 is expected to deliver up to a 50% reduction in carbon capture cost, compared to conventional MEA solvent-based, packed-bed technologies. Costs are expected to be lower, given the size of the mass transfer equipment is reduced by 10 times and the overall unit footprint is up to 50% smaller than conventional carbon capture units. There should also be 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 should also enable 20% and 50% lower environmental and safety impacts as the solvent and operating conditions will minimise emissions, corrosion and make-up requirements. Techno-economic studies will also include an industrial cluster in Northern Greece, where options of CO2 utilisation, 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.
