Chapter 3
This chapter is relevant for carbon capture plants that differ from "KAN Referansa". Table 1 contains an overview of the various other capture technologies, and what they require from "KAN Referansa".
| Technology | Energy demand |
|---|---|
| Amin's | Steam or in some cases high temperature hot water can be used. Power for pumps and fans. |
| Potassium Carbonate Technologies | Either pressurization and/or heat (for some down to 80-90 °C), typically somewhat more power requirement than KAN Reference. |
| Membrane technologies | Pressurized flue gas (electricity) |
| Cryogenic Distillation Technology | Cooling of flue gas to cryogenic temperatures, (-50 °C) electricity and waste heat cooling |
| Hybrid between membrane and cryogenic distillation | Pressurization and cooling of flue gas to low temperatures (electricity and waste heat cooling) |
| Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) | Pressurized flue gas (electricity) |
| Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) | Heat, about as much as KAN Reference, at 70-80 °C |
| Calcium Looping Process (CaL) | Increases waste incineration capacity, needs pure oxygen. |
| Nitrogen-free combustion (oxygen instead of combustion air) | Need pure oxygen see sub-chapter 5.2 |
| Chemical looping combustion | see sub-chapter 5.2.1 |
| Chilled ammonia | Cooling of flue gas to low temperatures (5-7 °C), electricity (approx. 2-3x KAN Reference), steam (approx. 0.5-1 x KAN Reference) and waste heat cooling. |
