Definitions

  • This invention concerns a method and plant for energy efficient removal of CO 2 from flues gases by scrubbing the flue gas.
  • the invention is especially suited for use in connection with thermal power plants fuelled with carbon-containing fuels, and it may easily be implemented into existing power plants.
  • Fossil fuels have been the most important energy carrier in the world for almost a century. Presently they cover about 4/5 of the global energy consumption, and practically all sectors of the present industrial societies are highly dependent upon using fossil fuels as energy carrier including the energy sector. A large portion of the world demand for heat and electric power is based on use of thermal power plants fuelled with fossil fuels.
  • the combustion products of fossil fuels are mainly gaseous CO 2 and H 2 O (in case of using hydrocarbon based fossil fuels).
  • the present consumption of fossil fuels produces about 25 billion metric tonnes CO 2 per year which is discharged into the atmosphere.
  • Fossil fuels are remains of ancient biomass that have been transformed to carbon or hydrocarbon compounds in certain geological formations. When fossil carbon is retrieved from the geological formations and combusted, it will enter the present carbon cycle of the earth and thus change the equilibrium state of this cycle. This results in an accumulation of CO 2 in the atmosphere and oceans, as well as increasing the biomass of the world.
  • CO 2 is one of several greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases have absorption bands in the frequency area typical for the black body radiation from the surface of the earth, and will thus function as an isolating blanket around the earth which retains the earth's radiant heat loss to the space. The greenhouse effect is vital to the life on earth as we know it, since the total greenhouse effect raises the global mean temperature in the troposphere by approx. 30 °C to a comfortable global mean temperature of about +15 0 C.
  • Prior art One proposed method for disposal of large quantities of CO 2 is injecting it into underground deep saline aquifers, which are porous rock formations filled with salty water. It is also suggested to inject CO 2 as pressurizing agent in producing oil fields or in depleted reservoirs, or to inject it at great sea depth.
  • the concept of capturing and subsequent injection of CO 2 gas into earth formations or deep sea water is considered to be an economically viable solution for process industry, thermal power plants and other facilities that produces large volumes of CO 2 .
  • a mature and well proven technology for large scale capturing and separating CO 2 out of a gas phase is scrubbing the gas-phase by passing it through an absorbent, usually an amine dissolved in water.
  • This technology is presently considered to be the best available technology, and has found long use in several industries with need for removing CO 2 from a gas phase, including cleaning flue gases from thermal power plants, removal of CO 2 from natural gas, removal of CO 2 from the process line during production OfNH 3 etc.
  • CO 2 capture plants by absorption usually includes an absorption column, often denoted scrubber or absorber, that captures the CO 2 and a desorption column, often denoted stripper, for regenerating the absorbent and releasing the captured CO 2 .
  • absorption column often denoted scrubber or absorber
  • stripper for regenerating the absorbent and releasing the captured CO 2 .
  • Both absorber and stripper are usually vertically oriented enabling to obtain a counter flow between the liquid and the gas phase in order to exchange the CO 2 between the liquid and gas phases.
  • the absorber functions as follows: The absorbent binds CO 2 in a weak chemical bonding at moderate temperatures. By introducing the absorbent dissolved in a liquid solvent (usually water) in the upper section and simultaneously introduce a gas-phase that is to be stripped for CO 2 at the lower section of an absorber column, the absorbent liquid will flow downwards and the gas-phase will rise upwards in a counter flow through the column, and thus obtain that the absorbent phase becomes enriched and the gas-phase correspondingly depleted for CO 2 on their way through the absorber column. When the gas-phase reaches the top of the absorber column it will usually be depleted most of its CO 2 content, and may be vented out in the atmosphere or sent to further treatment. The CO 2 enriched liquid absorbent phase is taken out at the lower section of the absorber column and then sent to the stripper (the desorption column(s)) for regeneration.
  • a liquid solvent usually water
  • the desorption column functions as follows: The weak chemical bonding between the absorbent and CO 2 will break at elevated temperatures, such that the CO 2 - enriched liquid absorbent solution from the absorber may be regenerated (depleted for absorbed CO 2 ) by introducing it at an appropriate elevated temperature in the upper section of the desorption column and simultaneously introduce additional heat (usually provided by hot steam) in the lower section of the desorption column. Then the absorbent be heated sufficiently to release the absorbed CO 2 and thus become regenerated as absorbent on its way through the desorption column. The released CO 2 will form gas bubbles and rise up to the top of the desorption column where it may be collected for further processing as more or less pure CO 2 gas.
  • the regenerated absorbent solution is taken out at the lower section of the desorption column, cooled to moderate temperatures and then reintroduced in the upper section of the absorption column(s) of the absorber for being used in a new cycle as CO 2 absorbent.
  • the moderate temperatures are usually 40-50 °C in the absorber column and the elevated temperatures in the stripping column are usually 100-130 °C.
  • the major disadvantage with amine absorption is the relatively huge temperature difference between the adsorption and desorption phases.
  • the CO 2 generating process plant includes a steam system
  • this steam system with the CO 2 capturing and separation process for providing the hot steam required by the stripping columns. This will substantially reduce the energy loss of the combined CO 2 generating and CO 2 capturing and separating process.
  • the heat recovery steam generator of most conventional CO 2 generating process plants needs to be substantially rebuilt in order to provide steam at these temperatures. This makes it impossible to retrofit CO 2 capturing equipment to existing CO 2 generating plants without shutting down the entire plant and reconstructing of the heat recovery steam generator.
  • Another disadvantage is that the primary process of the plant, the CO 2 generating process will be less efficient since energy in the form of hot steam is extracted to be used in the stripping column (but the entire process including CO 2 capturing will be more efficient).
  • an integrated primary CO 2 generating process and CO 2 capturing process means that both processes must be operated as one process, meaning less flexibility and lower on-line factor for the entire complex as compared to the CO 2 generating process alone.
  • the penalty, the loss of energy efficiency by operating the primary CO 2 generating process and the CO 2 capturing process as two separate processes is substantial.
  • the overall net electrical energy yield will be lowered from approx. 58 % without CO 2 capturing to about 48-50 % when using amine scrubbing.
  • the main objective of this invention is to provide a method and plant for reducing the energy costs associated with capturing and separation of CO 2 in flue gases by use of conventional gas scrubbing technique.
  • a further objective is to provide a method and plant for capturing and separating CO 2 from flue gases that may easily be retrofitted to existing CO 2 generating processes or plants.
  • a further objective is to obtain a method and plant for capturing and separating CO 2 from flue gases that may be run independently of the CO 2 generating process.
  • the objectives of the invention may be obtained by a method and plant characterised by the features given in the following description of the invention and/or in the appended patent claims.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a preferred embodiment in the form of an installation for producing electric energy with CO 2 capture according to the invention.
  • the invention is based on the realisation that the steam required to run the desorption process may be obtained by a second CO 2 generating process with a steam system tuned to supplying the necessary thermal energy.
  • a process plant according to the invention will comprise three sections:
  • CO 2 capturing and separating section means any post-process gas containing CO 2 , including for example exhaust gas, discharge gas, process gas etc.
  • CO 2 capturing and separating section or “scrubber plant” shall mean any plant or process section where CO 2 in a flue gas is captured by absorption by an absorbent and then separated into a substantially pure CO 2 gas phase by desorption of the absorbent.
  • the primary CO 2 generating process may be operated independently of the remaining process sections in the plant, CO 2 capturing and separating section and secondary product supplier.
  • the only link between the primary product producing section and the remaining two sections is a pipeline that transfers the flue gases from the primary CO 2 generating process to the absorption process of the CO 2 capturing and separating section.
  • This allows operating and optimising the primary product producing section in the conventional manner that existing plants are operated; focusing on optimised energy efficiency in the primary product supplying process.
  • the inventive combination may easily be retrofitted to. existing CO 2 generating processes.
  • the inventive combination has a major advantage over prior art in that the implementation of a second product supplying process as steam supplier to the CO 2 capturing and separating section will increase the product output from the plant without increasing the need for external energy to run the absorption process section accordingly. Further, the waste heat from the secondary product supplying process may be fully utilised in the desorption process of the CO 2 capturing and separating section. Thus the energy efficiency of the plant is substantially increased and the penalty for implementing CO 2 capturing and separation is correspondingly reduced.
  • a further advantage may be obtained by using flue gas from the primary CO 2 generating process as oxygen supply for the secondary CO 2 generating process.
  • the secondary CO 2 generating process may be run without significantly increase in the flue gas volumes in the plant, such that the absorption section of the CO 2 capturing and separating section may be scaled for the flue gas volumes from the primary CO 2 generating process only.
  • This allows an easy retrofitting of the secondary CO 2 generating process into existing plants with CO 2 capturing and separating sections.
  • Some CO 2 generating processes, for instance gas turbines use atmospheric air as oxygen supply and produce flue gases with only a few percent CO 2 .
  • the flues gases from a modern natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) thermal power plant is about 3-4 %, meaning that the flue gas will contain about 13-15 % O 2 which is sufficient for a second combustion process.
