Piloting of environmentally benign enzymatic solvent combined with an RPB absorber
ACCSESS will demonstrate at TRL7, on a 2tpd scale, post-combustion CO2 capture with a non-amine, non-toxic enzyme enhanced solvent (“CO2 solutions by Saipem”) combined with a novel and compact rotary packed bed (RPB) absorber from PSP.
The SPM aqueous potassium carbonate solvent, enhanced with the carbonic anhydrase enzyme (same enzyme as in human lungs) for rapid uptake and release of CO2, is regenerated at 70-80oC. This opens opportunities for employing low-temperature industrial waste heat for CO2 capture purposes. Cost cuts are expected both due to the low regeneration temperature and the compact RPB absorber.
The combined SPM+PSP technology will be demonstrated two different industrial environments, a pulp and paper mill in Sweden (SE), and a cement kiln in Poland (HC). The cost-efficient approach for the piloting is to employ the existing FOV containerized, transportable CO2 capture test rig, that will be slightly modified for the purpose, and to which the PSP RPB will be connected on a separate skid; refer to Figure 3.
