Integrated modelling and simulation of a 400 MW NGCC power plant with CO2 capture

CO2 capture in power plants: Minimization of the investment and operating cost of the post-combustion process using MEA aqueous solution

“…A great number of authors employed process simulators such as: Aspen Plus (Cozad et al, 2010;Abu-Zahra et al, 2007a,b;Duan et al, 2012;Ali et al, 2005), HYSYS (Khakdaman et al, 2008;Aliabad and Mirzaei, 2009), and Aspen HYSYS (Oi, 2007), gProms (Kvamsdal et al, 2009;Lawal et al, 2009). Other authors proposed and developed in-house simulation algorithms (Rahimpour and Kashkooli, 2004;Sipöcz et al, 2011;Aroonwilas and Veawab, 2007). Freguia and Rochelle (2003) integrated a Fortran subroutine into Aspen Plus ® to perform a rate-based calculation of CO 2 absorption into MEA.…”

Kinetics of CO2 absorption by aqueous N,N-diethylethanolamine solutions: Literature review, experimental results and modelling

“…Strategies to reduce the penalty associated with post-combustion CO 2 capture by amine scrubbing include improvements in the process configurations (Ahn et al, 2013;Jung et al, 2013;Karimi et al, 2011), the development of solvents with a better performance (Hoff et al, 2013;Mathias et al, 2013;Trollebø et al, 2013) and heat integration between the capture and the power plants (Liebenthal et al, 2013;Sipöcz et al, 2011). In the field of solvent development, the aim is to find a solvent that gives an optimal trade-off between fast kinetics and low energy requirements.…”

Thermo-economic investigation: an insight tool to analyze NGCC with calcium-looping process and with chemical-looping combustion for CO2capture

“…Erlach et al [15] found the CLC-based technology represented an increase of approximately 5% in energy efficiency when compared with NGCC-PRE. Sipöcza et al [17] investigated a 440MW e NGCC with an involved CO 2 removal plant from a techno-economic aspect.
