Design, Modeling and Simulation of Post Combustion CO₂ Capture Systems Using Reactive Solvents

Design is the key step for the commercial process of post combustion CO₂ capture by using the amines based solvents. Also, the simulation of the CO₂ capture process could provide the guideline or more information for the design. The improvement or enhancement of the process configuration could be achieved by using the simulation. This chapter consists of two main sections. One is the methods for determination of column height for CO₂ absorber. The procedure for column design are present in order to get the final destination of column height. Four different method are discussed in this part. Another is about the developed process configurations for post combustion CO₂ capture. In this part, the present development for the process improvement of post combustion CO₂ capture are discussed in terms of absorber, stripper, and economizer modification. All detailed development are shown in this chapter in order to give the clear picture of the process configurations development for post combustion CO₂ capture.
