Amine scrubbing is a promising CO2 capture technology that can be adapted to various CO2 sources. For industrial users, it is important to estimate regeneration heat and cost to determine adaptation of the CO2 capture process. Unfortunately, conventional studies of amine scrubbing processes has turned aside to CO2 capture for power plant sources, and studies of application to industrial CO2 sources is started recently. Therefore, information of amine scrubbing regeneration heat and cost is limited unless they conduct rigorous process simulation or pilot-plant scale research. Hasan et al suggested input-output models of CO2 capture process including amine scrubbing, membrane separation, and pressure swing adsorption. These model allows decision makers to estimate cost information of amine scrubbing process without rigorous simulation or experiment. However, the model proposed by Hasan is not complete model as it considers only feed flowrate and CO2 concentration. Herein, we suggests an advanced model for amine scrubbing CO2 capture process that considers feed pressure and CO2 capture rate, and utility prices. This model probably offers more useful cost estimation. |
