Enhanced capture with oxygen for scrubbing of CO2

Objective

The project aims to develop a scheme for retrofitting carbon capture to existing boilers. It uses a novel combination of techniques employed in conventional CO2 capture, such as oxygen enrichment and post-combustion solvent scrubbing, together with measures to increase efficiency, reduce steam consumption and generate power requirements without significantly reducing net boiler electricity generating capacity.

The project includes development of the process, module integration and optimisation for a range of plant types and fuels. Fundamental studies also address many issues relevant to conventional capture, so the fundamental work has wide applicability to new plant and extends ongoing carbon capture research.
