Results from a pilot plant using un-promoted potassium carbonate for carbon capture
Rayer, A. V., Quyn, D., Gouw, J., Indrawan, I., Mumford, K. A., Anderson, C., Hooper, B., & Stevens, G. (2013). Results from a pilot plant using un-promoted potassium carbonate for carbon capture. Energy Procedia, 37, 448-454. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2013.05.130
A pilot plant facility has been designed and built to trial potassium carbonate solvent technology for carbon capture under a range of conditions. The rig is capable of capturing 4 - 10 kg/hr of CO2 from 30 - 55 kg/hr of an air-CO2 mixture, with different packings. A series of trials have been completed with a range of solvent concentrations from 20 wt% to 30 wt% potassium carbonate. The experimental holdup, solvent loading and absorber temperatures have been matched with rate-based simulations in Aspen Plus® software.
