Abstract
Methods and systems for recuperating power from a pressurized fluid stream of a carbon capture system are disclosed. A compressor pressurizes the carbon dioxide containing feed fluid and passes this fluid stream through a carbon capture process. The pressurized stream is expanded across a turbine where power is recovered.
Claims16
A system for recuperating power from a pressurized feed fluid stream of a carbon capture system comprising:
- a compression system configured to receive and compress a feed fluid stream including a carbon dioxide fraction, resulting in the pressurized feed fluid stream, and to direct the compressed feed stream to the carbon capture system;
- and
- a turbine configured receive a depleted fluid stream from the carbon capture system and to extract power from the depleted fluid stream by converting pressure to work through the turbine.
A method for recuperating power from a pressurized feed fluid stream of a carbon capture system comprising:
- receiving a feed fluid stream comprising a carbon dioxide fraction;
- compressing the feed fluid stream in a compression system, producing a pressurized feed fluid stream;
- providing the pressurized feed fluid stream to the carbon capture system, resulting in a depleted fluid stream;
- and
- extracting power from the depleted fluid stream by converting pressure to work through a turbine.
