Capture (NETL 2-Step w/ Sweep)

← Previous | Next →

Capture parameters for the membrane system are entered on the Capture parameter screen. Its content depends on the System Configuration chosen on the Config screen. This page describes the NETL 2-Step w/ Sweep configuration. (The other options are 2-Step w/ Air Sweep and 2-Stage Cascade.)

The following parameters are shown; most are for reference only:

•Membrane Operation Temperature: This is the operation temperature of the membranes.

•CO2 Permeance (S.T.P.): This is the CO2 permeance.

•CO2/N2 Selectivity (S.T.P.): This is the CO2/N2 selectivity.

•CO2/H2O Selectivity (S.T.P.): This is the CO2/H2O selectivity.

•CO2/O2 Selectivity (S.T.P.): This is the CO2/O2 selectivity.

•CO2/Ar Selectivity (S.T.P.): This is the CO2/Ar selectivity.

•Stage Cut @ Crossflow: This is the fraction of feed gas that permeates the cross-flow membrane.

•Stage Cut @ Counterflow: This is the fraction of feed gas that permeates the counter-flow membrane.

•Pressure Drop on Flue Gas: This is the feed-side pressure drop in the cross-flow module.

•Pressure Drop on Sweep Side: This is the sweep-side pressure drop in the counter-flow module.

•Vacuum Pressure in Cross-Flow Membrane: This is the permeate-side vacuum pressure in the cross-flow module.

•Added Cooling Duty for CO2 Capture: This is the total amount of cooling water normalized by CO2 product. This is the only editable parameter on this screen.
