To highlight the research and achievements of Australian researchers, the Global CCS Institute with ANLEC R&D will hold a series of webinars throughout 2016. Each webinar highlights a specific ANLEC R&D research project and the relevant report found on the Institute’s website. The fifth webinar of the series looked at the development of an aqueous ammonia-based post-combustion capture technology for Australian conditions.
CSIRO has been developing aqueous ammonia (NH3)-based post-combustion CO2 capture (PCC) technology for its application under Australian conditions since 2008. Previous pilot-plant trials at Delta Electricity’s Munmorah Power Station demonstrated the technical feasibility of the process and confirmed some of the expected benefits. With further support from the Australian Government and ANLEC R&D, CSIRO has worked closely with universities in Australia and China to develop an advanced aqueous NH3-based CO2 capture technology. The advanced technology incorporates a number of innovative features which significantly improve its economic feasibility. This webinar presented the advancements made from a recently completed project funded by ANLEC R&D, and was presented by Dr Hai Yu and Dr Kangkang Li from CSIRO Energy.

2. Dr Yu is a senior research scientist at CSIRO Energy. He was
awarded a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University
of Newcastle, Australia in 2004.
Since 2000, he has dedicated himself to research on clean
energy technologies and environmental protection, including
development of technologies for utilisation of synthetic
greenhouse gases and post combustion CO2 capture.
He was lead researcher for the pilot plant demonstration of an
aqueous ammonia-based post-combustion capture process in
Australia, and the project leader for a number of projects
which are aimed to advance the aqueous ammonia-based
CO2 capture technology for application in Australia.

3. Dr Li is a postdoctoral research scientist at CSIRO Energy.
He was awarded a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Curtin
University of Technology in 2016.
His research focuses on post combustion CO2 capture
technology and energy harvesting from CO2 capture.
He participated in the development of an advanced aqueous-
ammonia based CO2 capture process which was funded by

Enabling research to reduce greenhouse emissions from coal technologies
Australian National Low Emissions Coal Research & Development
ANLEC R&D is an Australian National Research
Initiative to support Carbon Capture and Storage
(CCS) deployment in Australia.
$100M+ Invested
In one of the largest partnerships, the Australian
Coal Industry and the Australian Government has
deployed a research effort in over 25 institutions
nationwide since 2010.
Our present focus supports CO2 storage across
3 Australian geological basins:
Surat Basin, Gippsland Basin, Perth Basin
ANLEC R&D funded this project to test concepts that might further reduce the cost of post combustion
capture using advanced aqueous ammonia solutions

Advantages
Areas for improvement
Relatively low CO2 absorption rate compared to amine
based solvent
Relatively high ammonia loss at high CO2 absorption rate.
Formation of ammonium-bicarbonate solids
The available process simulation models were insufficient to
support the process optimisation and scale up
14. Project Objectives
1. Develop a novel aqueous ammonia based solvent which has fast CO2
absorption rate equivalent to MEA while maintaining a low regeneration
energy requirement.
2. Further advance the combined SO2 removal and ammonia recovery
technology to eliminate additional FGD, reduce the ammonia slip in the
exiting flue gas to acceptable levels and produce a value added fertiliser,
i.e. ammonium sulphate.
3. Further develop CSIRO high pressure absorption to enhance CO2
absorption, reduce ammonia loss and cooling water consumption.
4. Develop and validate a rigorous rate based model for the capture process
and identify new process configurations to achieve further savings on
capture costs.
Ultimately, develop a process which can reduce
1. investment and running cost in the Australian context.
2. potential environmental risks resulting from the
implementation of PCC technologies.

For ammonia, advantages include: supported by our pilot plant trials
Firstly we need to determine the technical parameters of the process. We used a rate-based model for this purpose.
for example, determine the column size, packing height, heat exchanger size. etc. --- capital cost
Cooling water consumption, energy consumption- steam, electricity.
Steam consumption needs to be converted to electricity.
Describe reaction sets
Analyze process improvement and describe the benefits
Start from combined removal
In this talk, I would like to present some of process improvements in the stripping process (solvent regeneration part).
The rich solvent will be heated in the desorber/stripper to produce CO2 product and itself is regenerated. The energy for solvent regeneration come from steam extracted from the power station. So less steam is available for power generation which reduces power output. 25-30% of the output of the power station is lost due to the steam extraction and electivity to run pump, blower etc.
Three components of the regeneration energy
Less vapor is wasted and at the same time also cooling duty. Split ratio is fraction of liquid split from the rich solvent. 0.05 can have a total duty consumption. Regeneration energy decreased from 3.2 to 2.9 GJ/ton co2. 1.5 to 0.4.
Inter heating configuration involves the exchange of heat between lean solvent and semi lean solvent. This approach can change the temperature file in the stripper.. We divided stripper to 15 stages. Bottom is stripper and top is condenser. Rich solvent was introduced from stage 5. The left one is liquid T profile in the stripper. At bottom is 145oc and inlet is 135. with implementation of inter heating, the temperature profile is changed. Inlet T is lower but the rest, T is higher. Delta is lower. Less than 9 oc. The regeneration energy decreases from 3.2 to 3.
