De risking CO2 capture technologies through process modeling and experimental methods.

The proposed project aims to de-risking the investment in CO2 capture technologies mainly and reduce the costs by developing a process model supported by the experimental tests for different blended solvents for various flue gases. In doing so, the project aims in developing the kinetics of the blended solvents and develop the hydrodynamic models for the columns for different packings. Based on experimental support on kinetics and hydrodynamics models, a process model will be developed for the scale of the ACCTC plant to reduce the reboiler heat duty and emission intensity. The outcome of the project will benefit Innotech Alberta’s plan to support industries in Canada to adopt and deploy CO2 capture plants to reduce the overall emission that helps in reaching Canada’s net-zero goals.
