Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for capturing carbon dioxide from a gas stream. The methods and systems can also be used to reduce pollutants from a gas stream. The nozzle alignment of the system avoids droplet collision and merger with a corresponding loss of surface area. The high surface area of the droplets allows for increased efficiency of CO2 capture.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from an input gas stream (e.g., flue gas from a combustion process). In particular, the system includes a CO2 absorption module that directs supersaturated CO2 process water to a CO2 recovery process. The CO2 recovery process includes a sparging seal vessel, followed by an agitator, followed by a stripper unit, followed by an outgassing tank, and lastly a membrane separator, configured to outgas CO2 from the supersaturated process water and direct the gaseous CO2 into a CO2 collection header.
