Development of an integrated CO2 capture and conversion system for methanol, DME and ethanol production

The main objective of this project is to design an effective CO2 capture and conversion technology for alcohols and DME production. The process is based on microwave-assisted CO2 adsoprtion process integrated with hydrogen and syngas. The modelling of the novel microwave adsorption system will be performed. The process simulation tool will be provided to determine the properties of the products and operating conditions of each section. Moreover, the energy consumption and specifications of the microwave heating system from the flow data and other operating conditions will be defined. This system will be integrated with the CO2 conversion process to By incorporating the practical data provided by SyncoBiofuels, the equations describing the phenomena, including movement, mass and energy transfer equations, and Maxwell’s equations, will be solved using the simulation model.
