Performance

← Previous | Next →

Inputs for the performance of the solid sorbents PSA system are entered on the Performance parameter screen. The following parameters are provided:

•Maximum CO2 Removal Efficiency: This parameter specifies the maximum efficiency possible for the adsorber on an annual average basis. The value is used as a limit in calculating the actual CO2 removal efficiency for compliance.

•Minimum Adsorber CO2 Removal Efficiency: This is the minimum CO2 removal efficiency that will allow the model to run correctly. It is shown for reference only.

•Adsorber CO2 Removal Efficiency: This is the actual removal efficiency of the adsorber alone.

•Other Removals:

•SO2 Removal Efficiency: This is the SO2 removal efficiency of the PSA process.

•SO3 Removal Efficiency: This is the SO3 removal efficiency of the PSA process.

•NO2 Removal Efficiency: This is the NO2 removal efficiency of the PSA process.

•HCl Removal Efficiency: This is the HCl removal efficiency of the PSA process.

•Particulate Removal Efficiency: This is the particulate removal efficiency of the PSA process.

•Mercury Removal from CO2 Adsorber: This is the mercury removal efficiency of the adsorber alone.

•Makeup H2O Factor for Aux. Cooling: (Only shown when an Air Cooled Condenser is used for plant cooling.) When CCS and an Air Cooled Condenser are used, the CCS system uses an auxiliary cooling system. This parameter specifies the amount of makeup water required for the auxiliary cooling system.

•PSA Process Power Requirement: This is the electrical power required by the PSA process.
