CO2 abatement strategies are crucial in any industrial cluster. In post-combustion capture solutions, the high-energy consumption and cost associated with operation main drawbacks. this work, a chemical absorption system using 30% MEA solution was modeled to process 3,240 t/h of flue gases 12% content, evaluated for design insights their potential reduction fewer energy losses, thus providing screening tool scale-up. Thermodynamic analysis showed that regulating inlet temperature stripper...
Abstract ‘Curb CO 2 emissions’ is a common expression today and it will be heard even more frequently in the future. Biofuels have attracted attention for many years, recently this has been directed, particular, to biofuels heavy‐duty vehicles. This sector contributes significant quantity of emissions Brazil. class fuels – biodiesel, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) an established industry However, limited capacity production limitations imposed by its properties, make difficult expand...
Bio-energy systems with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) will be essential if countries are to meet the gas emission reduction targets established in 2015 Paris Agreement. This study seeks carry out a thermodynamic optimization analysis of BECCS technology for typical Brazilian cogeneration plant. To maximize generated net electrical energy (MWe) dioxide CO
Thermoeconomic diagnosis is a tool used to locate malfunctions and quantify their impact on thermal system operating costs. Since diagnostic methodologies are mainly based the iteration of exergy flows within systems, some authors suggest that results can be improved when disaggregated into its components. Therefore, Rankine cycle with intrinsic in condenser steam turbine was diagnosed using thermoeconomic methodology exergetic operators for models total exergy, negentropy, physical...
Steam reforming is currently the most common process for hydrogen production, but its use mainly limited to fossil-based fuels such as natural gas.In an effort diversify matrix, alternative sources have been considered, among which butanol appears a potentially renewable source.The present study provides detailed thermodynamic discussion about operational parameters influencing yield and heat consumption in Aspen Plus ® simulated cycle.The effect of key variables over duty was initially...
