“…Carbon steel corrosion at a rate exceeding millimeters' per years was found at the outlet of the stripper with 30% MEA. During the same study, stainless steel grades (304L and 316L) performed extremely well, without significant weight loss corrosion [58]. In the same paper, results obtained on the ITC pilot plant from the University of Regina (Canada) were also presented, confirming that corrosion in 30% MEA was the highest in the rich section from the heat exchanger to the stripper.…”

Re´sume´-Corrosion dans les proce´de´s utilisant des alcanolamines pour le captage du CO 2 en post-combustion -Les proce´de´s de captage et de stockage du CO 2 occupent une place importante dans les strate´gies visant a`limiter les e´missions industrielles de gaz a`effet de serre. Les proce´de´s de captage en post-combustion par solvant chimique de type alcanolamine sont bien adapte´s au traitement d'e´missions ponctuelles massives issues de combustibles fossiles, rencontre´es notamment dans les centrales thermiques au charbon et au gaz, ou les industries side´rurgiques ou de production de ciment. La technologie utilisant le principe d'absorptionde´sorption par les alcanolamines est une des voies les plus matures a`ce jour : elle est en effet de´ja`mise en oeuvre, par exemple pour la de´sacidification du gaz naturel, bien qu'a`une e´chelle sensiblement plus petite. L'ope´ration de telles unite´s pour le traitement des fume´es de combustion pre´sente toutefois de nombreux challenges, parmi lesquels la corrosion des e´quipements tient une place importante. Le but de cet article est de pre´senter une revue des connaissances sur cet aspect particulier. Dans une premie`re partie, l'expe´rience issue de plusieurs de´cennies d'utilisation de proce´de´s aux alcanolamines dans le domaine de la production d'huile et de gaz est pre´sente´e. Dans une seconde partie, les risques spe´cifiques associe´s aux particularite´s des proce´de´s de captage du CO 2 en post-combustion sont identifie´s et discute´s. Diffe´rentes strate´gies de maıˆtrise de la corrosion sont de´crites, et certains axes prioritaires en matie`re de recherche et de´veloppement sont propose´s. Enfin, certaines difficulte´s en vue du transport du CO 2 issu du captage puis de son injection a`fin de stockage ge´ologique sont mises en avant, avec des recommandations strictes sur les teneurs maximales en impurete´s pour disposer en toute surete´du CO 2 issu de ce proce´de´.Abstract -Corrosion in CO 2 Post-Combustion Capture with Alkanolamines -A Review -CO 2 capture and storage plays an important part in industrial strategies for the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. CO 2 post-combustion capture with alkanolamines is well adapted for the treatment of large industrial point sources using combustion of fossil fuels for power generation, like coal or gas fired power plants, or the steel and cement industries. It is also one of the most mature technologies to date, since similar applications are already found in other types of industries like acid gas separation, although not at the same scale. Operation of alkanolamine units for CO 2 capture in combustion fumes presents several challenges, among which corrosion control plays a great part. It is the aim of this paper to present a review of current knowledge on this specific aspect. In a first part, lessons learnt from several decades of use of alkanolamines for natural gas separation in the oil and gas industry are discussed. Then, the specificities of CO 2 post-combustion capture are presented, and their conseq...

“…moderate temperature (50°C) and lean loading (0.25 mol CO 2 /mol amine ), carbon steel corrosion still exceeds 100 lm/year. On the other hand, in the hot rich amine, corrosion rate above several mm/year is predicted, and this level was confirmed by pilot plant experiments [58].…”

“…During the tests, CO 2 captured is either vented into the atmosphere (Alstom 2009(Alstom , 2011Chopin 2014), transported and stored underground (Ju 2015;MIT 2016b) or sold to beverage industries (Ju 2015). Investigations carried out during the pilot plant studies include (1) profiling different solvents; (2) scale-up procedure; (3) solvent degradability; (4) corrosion studies; (5) operation study and (6) process energy efficiency (Chi and Rochelle 2002;Uyanga and Idem 2007;Davis and Rochelle 2009;Kittel et al 2009;Mangalapally et al 2009;Alstom 2011;Faber et al 2011;Seibert et al 2011;Rabensteiner et al 2014). …”

Solvent-based carbon capture is the most commercially-ready technology for economically and sustainably reaching carbon emission reduction targets in the power sector. Globally, the technology has been deployed to deal with flue gases from large scale power plants and different carbon-intensive industries. The success of the technology is due to significant R&D activities on the process development and decades of industrial experience on acid gas removal processes from gaseous mixtures. In this paper, current status of PCC based on chemical absorption-commercial deployment and demonstration projects, analysis of different solvents and process configurations-is reviewed. Although some successes have been recorded in developing this technology, its commercialization has been generally slow as evidenced in the cancellation of high profile projects across the world. This is partly due to the huge cost burden of the technology and unpredictable government policies. Different research directions, namely new process development involving process intensification, new solvent development and a combination of both, are discussed in this paper as possible pathways for reducing the huge cost of the technology.

“…Notz et al (2012) have provided the most complete published data for the MEA based solvent with detailed measurements of 47 pilot runs in various operating conditions. Nevertheless, pilot results on the MEA chemical stability are rare (Mimura et al, 1995;Kittel et al, 2009;Knudsen et al, 2009) and a lack of pilot data is observed for the MEA degradation, the material corrosion and the foaming phenomena. To fill this gap, the pilot was built with the following specifications: -setup specifications equivalent to the industrial processes for the temperature, the pressure, the column hydrodynamic and the mass transfer coefficients; -temperature measurement of liquid and gas input and output streams and temperature profile for each column; -flow rate measurement of liquid and gas input and output streams for each column; -composition measurement of liquid and gas input and output streams and composition profile for each column; -energy balance measurement tool for each heat exchanger and stripping column; -gas generator section which controls temperature, flow rate and gas stream composition; -no metal as raw material; -gas analysis tools for concentration measurements of CO 2 , O 2 , pollutants, ammonia and MEA volatility; -liquid analysis tools for MEA concentration, dissolved pollutants and organic acids; -water balance measurement tool for the overall process; -automatic control of pilot setup for long term experiments and thorough data system acquisition.…”

Une e´tude parame´trique en laboratoire a permis de mesurer le coefficient de transfert global K G a w pour plusieurs re´gimes de fonctionnement du pilote. Des expe´riences de longue dure´e, en laboratoire et sur site industriel, ont analyse´la re´sistance chimique de la MEA au gaz de combustion d'un incine´rateur. Ces expe´riences ont e´galement permis d'e´tudier l'absorption du dioxyde d'azote NO 2 et du dioxyde de soufre SO 2 dans le solvant de captage. Elles ont abouti a`une estimation de la cine´tique d'accumulation de sels stables dans un solvant a`base de MEA confronte´a`des gaz de combustion d'un incine´rateur.Abstract -Pilot Plant Studies for CO 2 Capture from Waste Incinerator Flue Gas Using MEA Based Solvent -Experimental study of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) capture from waste incinerator flue gas is presented. A specific pilot plant has been achieved based on absorption/desorption process using MonoEthanolAmine (MEA) solvent. Several experiments have been carried out at laboratory and industrial site. The pilot is fully instrumented to establish precise balances. Laboratory experiments allow to measure overall mass transfer coefficient K G a w for several pilot operating conditions. Long laboratory and industrial runs provide an estimation of MEA chemical resistance against waste incinerator flue gas. The experiments also allowed the analysis of NO 2 and SO 2 absorption through the solvent as well as the accumulation of Heat Stable Salts (HSS) for a full scale CO 2 capture unit fed by a waste incinerator flue gas.
