On the integration of CO2 capture with coal-fired power plants: A methodology to assess and optimise solvent-based post-combustion capture systems

Efficiency improvements for the coal-fired power plant retrofit with CO 2 capture plant using chilled ammonia process

“…Condensing steam extracted from the IP/LP crossover pipe of the existing power plant has been found to be the most efficient option for meeting this heat requirement [43], though at the expense of highly off-design operating conditions in the LP turbine. Therefore, the power output of this section drops not only as a result of reduced LP turbine throughput, but also due to inlet pressure loss resulting from steam expansion downstream the extraction point.…”

Physical properties of PZ solution used as a solvent for CO2 removal

“…Thus, climate changes forced by CO 2 depend primarily on cumulative emissions, making it progressively more and more difficult to avoid further substantial greenhouse effects (NOAA, 2013); their mitigation has become a challenge for many years because of their deleterious effects on social, economic and environmental aspects. Therefore the interest in the development of CO 2 capture technology has increased due to the rising effects of global warming (IPCC, 2012) and many techniques have been developed, the most commonly applied being absorption by chemical solvents (Diamantonis et al, 2013;Khan et al, 2011;Lucquiaud and Gibbins, 2011;Mores et al, 2011Mores et al, , 2012Posch and Haider, 2013;Sofia et al, 2014). This technology is a mature technology, with monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) (Khoo and Tan, 2006;Langé et al, 2013;Pellegrini et al, 2011Pellegrini et al, , 2013; * Corresponding author.…”

Pyrolysis of coal, biomass and their blends: Performance assessment by thermogravimetric analysis

“…A sustainable energy production will need, for several decades, the use of fossil fuels (coal in particular) as primary sources for power generation (Lucquiaud and Gibbins, 2011). But the combustion of fossil fuels represents the main contribution to anthropogenic CO 2 emissions (Lohwasser and Madlener, 2012;Huang et al, 2008).…”
