Abstract

Seeking an energy efficient and environmentally friendly technology for CO₂capture could be promising for reduction of CO₂emissions. Membranes have already been commercially used for selected gas separations and have potential to be used for CO₂capture. However, process and economic feasibility of membrane separation system significantly depends on not only membrane materials but also process operating conditions. Thus, membrane system design by process simulation was conducted in this work. A single stage membrane unit was designed to accomplish specific separation requirements of >80% CO₂capture ratio at a maximum acceptable membrane area 600,000m². The obtained characteristic diagrams showed that a minimum membrane performance of CO₂permeance 2m³(STP)/(m²hbar) and CO₂/N₂selectivity 135 should be achieved at a stage-cut of 15.2% and a feed and permeate pressure of 2.5bar and 250mbar, respectively. A two-stage membrane system using high performance fixed-site-carrier membranes by integration of compression heat was designed to achieve >80% CO₂capture ratio and >95% CO₂purity from a 18,260kmol/h flue gas in a refinery. The simulation results showed nice potential for CO₂capture with a specific energy consumption of 1.02GJ/ton CO₂and a capture cost of 47.87$/ton CO₂captured.
