Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a process for capturing CO2 using bio-digester slurry, along with a method to improve the quality of fermented organic manure (FOM) and liquid fermented organic liquor (LFOM). The present disclosure describes the use of lignin functionalizing microbes (LFM) and H2S oxidizing microbes (SOD) to enhance the quality of the FOM and LFOM and improve the CO2 capture ability of the slurry. The CO2 and/or H2S captured manure increases their nutrient value for use in agriculture. The CO2 absorption process not only aids in reducing the amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment, but also improves the quality of FOM and LFOM. The integration of these processes results in a sustainable and efficient approach for capturing CO2 while improving the quality of organic waste material for agricultural use.

Abstract: Processes integrating electric heaters or other heating sources for heating of liquid and two phase hydrocarbon streams resulting in reduced CO2 emissions are described. The processes shift a portion of the fired heater duty to an electric heater or other heat source. All or a portion of a vapor stream from a two phase separator is heated or superheated by an electric heater or other heat source to provide sufficient temperature that the heated/superheated vapor stream acts as a heat source to a bottom or side draw stream from a column. The preheated bottom or side draw stream is sent to the fired heater.
