Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for carbon capture optimization in industrial facilities are disclosed herein. An example carbon capture process involves cooling a flue gas stream using at least one gas-to-air heat exchanger disposed upstream of a carbon dioxide (CO2) absorber. Another example carbon capture process involves heating a heat medium for solvent regeneration and CO2 stripping using a fired heater and/or using at least one waste heat recovery unit.
Claims5
A system for processing a flue gas stream, the system comprising:
- a gas-to-air heat exchanger disposed upstream of and in fluid communication with a carbon dioxide (CO2) absorber, the gas-to-air heat exchanger configured to receive and cool the flue gas stream, and the gas-to-air heat exchanger configured to transport the cooled flue gas stream through and out of the gas-to-air heat exchanger toward the CO2 absorber;
- a flue gas blower configured to move the flue gas stream through the gas-to-air heat exchanger and the CO2 absorber;
- and
- a cooling air blower configured to move air through the gas-to-air heat exchanger to cool the flue gas stream.
