The design of adsorption systems for separation CO2/N2 in carbon capture applications is notoriously challenging because it requires constrained multiobjective optimization to determine appropriate combinations a moderately large number system operating parameters. status quo the literature use nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) solve problem. This approach 1000s time-consuming process simulations find Pareto front problem, meaning can take days computational time obtain...

Pressure-Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PVSA) shows great potential in post-combustion carbon capture. However, accurately modelling it requires a large amount of computational time using detailed process models, and screening numbers adsorbents becomes computationally prohibitive. Using data-driven neural network models have to solve this problem is the focus paper. We build adapt previously established machine-assisted adsorption learning emulation (MAPLE) framework by dual-site Langmuir model,...
Abstract Dispatchable low-carbon power underpins the transition to a sustainable energy system, providing balancing load for integration of intermittent renewable power. In such load-following operation, post-combustion carbon capture process must be capable highly transient operation. Here we have developed computational framework that integrates design, operability and techno-economic assessment pressure-vacuum swing adsorption CO 2 capture. We demonstrate cost-optimal design has limited...
We have carried out a model-based assessment of dual-adsorbent beds for post-combustion CO2 capture, whereby we consider systems in which two distinct adsorbent materials are homogeneously mixed to form fixed bed adsorber. employed an equilibrium-based process model (D-BAAM) simulate and optimize the performance four-step vacuum swing adsorption cycle capture with bed. used developed framework screen 2,850 binary combinations adsorbents from database 76 promising includes zeolites, activated...
Low-carbon dispatchable power underpins a sustainable energy system, providing load balancing complementing wide-scale deployment of intermittent renewable power. In this new context, fossil fuel-fired plants must be coupled with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) process capable highly transient operation. To tackle design and operational challenges simultaneously, we have developed computational framework that integrates techno-economic assessment. The backbone is high-fidelity PCC...

We have conducted single- and two-phase pulse-tracer experiments in a Berea Sandstone core using the N2/water system. X-Ray Computed tomography (CT) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) were used to obtain three-dimensional distribution of nonwetting phase saturation image transport radiotracer within sample, respectively.
