Abstract
A system for producing carbon dioxide including a collection subsystem configured to collect a process gas, the process gas including a hydrocarbon, a combustion subsystem configured to combust the hydrocarbon in the process gas and output a gaseous combustion effluent, wherein the gaseous combustion effluent includes carbon dioxide and water, and a separation subsystem configured to separate the carbon dioxide from the gaseous combustion effluent.
Claims26
A method for producing carbon dioxide comprising the steps of:
- providing a gaseous mixture comprising carbon dioxide and water;
- removing at least a portion of said water from said gaseous mixture to form a substantially dry gaseous mixture;
- and
- adsorbing at least a portion of said carbon dioxide from said dry gaseous mixture onto an adsorbent material.
A system for producing carbon dioxide from a gaseous mixture, said gaseous mixture comprising carbon dioxide and water, said system comprising:
- a condenser for removing heat from said gaseous mixture, wherein said condenser condenses at least a portion of said water in said gaseous mixture;
- a desiccant material for removing an additional amount of said water from said gaseous mixture to produce a substantially dry gas;
- an adsorbent material for adsorbing at least a portion of said carbon dioxide from said dry gas;
- and
- a heat transfer assembly for collecting said heat removed from said gaseous mixture at said condenser and transferring said heat.
A system for producing carbon dioxide comprising:
- a collection subsystem configured to collect a process gas, said process gas comprising a hydrocarbon;
- a combustion subsystem configured to combust said hydrocarbon in said process gas and output a gaseous combustion effluent, wherein said gaseous combustion effluent comprises carbon dioxide and water;
- and
- a separation subsystem configured to separate said carbon dioxide from said gaseous combustion effluent.
