Air Separation Config

← Previous | Next →

The Air Separation Config parameter screen allows you to configure the chemical looping system's air separation unit. The following parameters are available:

•Oxidant (Ox) Composition:

•Oxygen (O2): This is the percent of oxygen that is in the oxidant that is produced by the air separation unit.

•Argon (Ar): This is the percent of argon that is in the oxidant that is produced by the air separation unit.

•Nitrogen (N2): This is the percent of nitrogen that is in the oxidant that is produced by the air separation unit.

•Final Oxidant Pressure: The final oxidant stream from the ASU can be provided at a high pressure. The default value is determined by the plant type being used.

•Maximum Train Capacity: The maximum production rate of oxidant is specified here. It is used to determine the number of operating trains required.

•Number of Operating Trains: This is the total number of operating trains. It is used primarily to calculate capital costs. The value must be an integer.

•Number of Spare Trains: This is the total number of spare trains. It is used primarily to calculate capital costs. The value must be an integer.

•ASU Power for Calciner Heating: This is the electric power use of ASU that is employed to generate pure O2 for burning to generate heat required for calciner.
