Membrane technologies for CO2 capturePotential challenges in postcombustion: fly ash, SOx and NOx

CO2 capture technology


Membrane-based CO2 capture benefits

24/09/2015

31


Simulations help identifying best operating conditions

Example above – simulations with Chembrain:

• Feed: 18 260 kmol/h flue gas

• Goal: 80% capture ratio, >95% CO2 purity

General demands, membranes for post combustion CO2 capture:

High permeance (> 1000 GPU)

Selectivity > 200 is preferred

Low feed pressure (<3 bar) and vacuum on permeate side (200-300 mbar)

Membrane module design shouldbe hollow fibers or spiral-wound

Process design must be optimized
