Abstract:

Based on energy integration, the process of chemical absorption of CO2 is coupled with the flue gas waste heat recovery unit, and is optimized by self-heat recuperation to minimize the exergy loss of the high energy-consuming unit in the capture process, and the process was modeled by using computer simulation software Aspen Plus. The optimized process uses the heat recovery of the reaction heat released from the capture process for the endothermic reaction in the desorption process, realizing the recovery of reaction heat in the capture process. Meanwhile, by compressing the waste steam to recuperate the heat, which is exchanged with the liquid vaporization heat; flue gas waste heat and lean amine energy are rationally utilized. Moreover, the recuperated heat results in the reduction of the energy consumption for the desorption process so that the additional heat requirements are reduced in the capture system. The simulation results show that the optimized energy consumption of the capture process is 1.46 GJ/(t CO2) and the energy saving is about 41.36%. The economic evaluation of the process is performed by the investment cost with the operating cost. As a result, the total cost of the optimized capture process is 326.70 CNY/ (t CO2), which is 12% less than the traditional chemical absorption method. It indicates that the self-heat recuperation has great energy saving potential and could solve the sharp contradiction between the energy supply and the demand for a practical process.
