What is Post Combustion Carbon Capture?
Post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) with amines is a technology that uses an amine solvent to remove carbon dioxide (𝐶𝑂2) from flue gas. The process is regenerative, meaning the solvent can be reused after the 𝐶𝑂2 is captured. Our Demonstrator: The DarbyTech Carbon Capture Demonstrator comes in two variations:
The portable scale product has the same functionality as the industrial scale version but is mounted on a 2.4m long / 1.2m wide skid and is 1.6m high with plastic tanks, at approximately 40% the size of the industrial scale version. The demonstrator is packaged so it looks and feels like an actual industrial facility. At the heart of the trainer is an absorption column, which is the central technology of the carbon capture process. As flue gas is brought in from an emulated industrial emitter, it is passed against a solvent that is used to capture the carbon dioxide (CO2) using absorption. The remaining ‘clean’ flue gas is then emitted into the atmosphere, and the CO2-rich solvent is later regenerated, and the CO2 is liberated and captured. The industrial scale version is designed with stainless steel pressure vessels and an industrial feel control system. It is virtually simulated using water and allows for a safe, interactive, and immersive hands-on learning experience using DarbyTech’s unique coloured LED indication process with water and compressed air. |
