2. Selexol CO2 Capture

← Previous | Next →

IGCC systems use less energy-intensive physical absorption processes to capture CO2 than post-combustion chemical absorption processes required by the Pulverized Coal (PC) or Natural Gas Comb. Cycle (NGCC) plant types. Physical absorption using Selexol solvent is currently the most effective technique for removing CO2 from IGCC fuel gases. CO2 capture using Selexol is described in this section.
