Method For Controlling A System For Separating Carbon Dioxide From Ambient Air And System

A method of controlling a system for separating carbon dioxide from the ambient air, comprising:

• operating the system in normal operation, wherein normal operation comprises:
• conveying a stream of air of the ambient air into a first process space, wherein the stream of air is dried in the first process space;
• conducting the dried ambient air from the first process space to a second process space;
• adsorbing carbon dioxide from the dried stream of air with a sorbent material in the second process space;
• desorbing the carbon dioxide adsorbed in the sorbent material;
• and
• storing the desorbed carbon dioxide in a storage or conducting the desorbed carbon dioxide for direct use in a subsequent process;
• wherein
• the method further comprises operating the system in a special operation mode, different from normal operation, which special operation mode takes place before or after normal operation, wherein the system is operated in the special operation mode with operating parameters deviating from normal operation.
