CO₂ Capture System
This CO₂ capture system is designed to remove carbon dioxide from flue gases after combustion. It uses a process called Pressure/Temperature Swing Adsorption (PTSA) with zeolites, a solid material that traps CO₂. The system operates in a semi-continuous mode, meaning it can run while some parts undergo maintenance.
The process involves several key steps, including flue gas pre-treatment, gas compression, adsorption, regeneration, and cooling. Hot gases help remove CO₂ efficiently, and the system reuses energy to reduce power consumption. The design is compact, modular, and requires no liquid chemicals, making it a safer and simpler alternative to traditional CO₂ capture methods.
This technology offers several benefits, such as energy efficiency, flexible operation, low maintenance costs, and environmental advantages. By capturing CO₂ for potential reuse, the system helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to cleaner industrial processes. As a compact system also serves as a testing platform to refine the design for future large-scale applications.
