Membranes for carbon capture: separation anxiety?
…GTpa of CCS by 2050, of which half, or 3 GTpa is conventional CCS, largely using the amine process. Typical costs and energy penalties of the amine process are benchmarked…
Pressure swing adsorption: energy economics?
…of gas compression. Please download the data-file to stress-test your own economic assumptions, and for the breakdown of pressure swing adsorption costs. Other techniques for gas separations include amine separations,…
Industrial gas separation: swing producers?
…(page 16). Pressure swing adsorption is an important tool for industrial separations, alongside amine separations, membrane separations and cryogenic separations, as covered in our broader research. For access to all…
US hydrogen production: by facility and by company?
…simple (compared to other CCS opportunities with high energy penalties and amine degradation issues), and can earn 20% IRRs when we model the costs and a share of 45Q revenues…
Energy needed to produce steam: enthalpy and entropy data?
…cart Steam is used across dozens of industrial processes that have crossed our screens, from manufacturing, to steam cracking, to hydrogen reforming, to amine regeneration in CCS to nuclear power….
CCS absorbers: unit sizing and residence times?
Post-combustion CCS plants flow CO2 into an absorber unit, where it will react with a solvent, usually a cocktail of amines. This data-file quantifies operating parameters for CCS absorbers, such…
Hot potassium carbonate CCS: energy economics?
…with amines (often piperazine). But this seems to defeat the rationale for using potassium carbonate in the first place, which was to avoid emissions of amines or their toxic breakdown…
Costs of biogas upgrading to biomethane?
…results from stress-testing our other models, including for pressure swing adsorption, amine plants, membrane separations, cryogenic gas separations, gas dehydration, compressors and small-scale pipelines. Total costs of upgrading biogas into…
Thermal power plant: loss attribution?
…are only around 10-20%, versus 40% for CCS at power plants combusting solid fuels. For simple cycle gas turbines, the amine reboiler duty can often be met entirely via waste…
Selective catalytic reduction: costs of NOx removal?
…combustion facility with CCS, it may be necessary to strip out the SOx then the NOx upstream of the amine unit, to avoid the formation of highly toxic nitrosamines (note…
