Inputs for the performance of the ionic liquid CO2 capture system are entered on the Performance parameter screen . The following parameters are shown:

•Carbon Dioxide Removal Unit:

•CO2 Removal Efficiency: CO2 removal is specified by the user and is used to determine the solvent makeup flow, capital cost, and operating and maintenance costs.

•H2S Removal Efficiency: H2S is naturally removed with CO2. This parameter specifies the amount that is captured.

•Mercury Removal Efficiency (oxidized): This is the removal efficiency of the oxidized portion of mercury from the CO2 capture with Ionic Liquid. The removed portion can be found in the bottom ash and the remainder found in the syngas.

•Mercury Removal Efficiency (elemental): This is the removal efficiency of the elemental portion of mercury from the CO2 capture with Ionic Liquid. The removed portion can be found in the bottom ash and the remainder found in the syngas.

•Mercury Removal Efficiency (particulate): This is the removal efficiency of the particulate portion of mercury from the CO2 capture with Ionic Liquid. The removed portion can be found in the bottom ash and the remainder found in the syngas.

•Max Syngas Capacity per Train: Each train contains one absorber vessel that has a maximum flow rate. This parameter determines the maximum flow rate through the vessel.

•Number of Operating Absorbers: This is the total number of operating absorber vessels. The calculated value is determined by comparing the total flow rate of syngas through the Ionic Liquid process and the maximum syngas capacity per train. The value must be an integer.

•Number of Spare Absorbers: This is the total number of spare absorber vessels. It is used primarily to calculate capital costs.

•Power Requirement: This is the electricity used by the Ionic Liquid CO2 Capture System for internal use. It is expressed as a percent of the gross plant capacity.
