Experimental results of split flow process using AMP/PZ solution for post-combustion CO2 capture.

The goal of reducing energy consumption of the CO₂ removal process from flue gas may be pursued by developing new solvents as well as by modifying the technological process itself. This paper provides a discussion of the experimental results obtained from a process development unit (PDU) using an aqueous 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) solution activated with piperazine (PZ) for post-combustion carbon capture located at the Clean Coal Technologies Centre in Poland. The results are compared for two distinct process setups, namely one with the lean amine stream being split - a solution referred to as split flow, and a system with standard configuration. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
