Patent number: 9180404Abstract: A method for capturing CO2 from a CO2 containing gas (1), such as en exhaust gas from a thermal power plant fired on carbonaceous fuel, or any other CO2 containing industrial gas, where CO2 is captured from the gas by causing the gas to flow counter current to a CO2 absorbing solvent introduced into a CO2 absorption section (3) in an absorber (2) so that CO2 present in the gas is absorbed by the CO2 absorbing solvent to form a CO2 rich solvent (5), where CO2 rich solvent is collected on the bottom of the of the absorption column and withdrawn for regeneration, and where the treated exhaust gas (8) is released to the atmosphere after being subjected to one or more washing step(s) (6,7), wherein the temperature of the CO2 absorbing solvent (4) introduced into the CO2 absorption section has a temperature that is less than 5° C. lower than the maximum temperature in the absorption section of the absorber, is described.Type: GrantFiled: July 4, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Aker Engineering & Technology ASInventors: Otto Morten Bade, Simon Woodhouse, Oddvar Gorset, Vibeke Andersson

Patent number: 9155990Abstract: A method for eliminating or substantially reducing emission of amines (amineslip) and alkaline degradation products to the atmosphere from a plant for CO2 capture from a flue gas, where the CO2 is captured by counter-current flow to an absorbent in an absorption zone, the absorbent comprising an aqueous solution of one or more amine(s), to give a CO2 lean flue gas that is released into the surroundings, and a CO2 rich absorbent that is regenerated in a regeneration column to give a CO2 rich gas that is treated further, and regenerated absorbent that is recycled to the absorption zone, wherein the CO2 lean flue gas is washed with an acidic aqueous solution to remove or substantially reduce the amount of amine(s) and alkaline degradation products thereof in the gas, is described.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: Aker Clean Carbon ASInventors: Oscar Fredrik Graff, Otto Morten Bade, Oddvar Gorset, Simon Woodhouse

Patent number: 8808429Abstract: A method for reclaiming CO2 absorbing chemical(s) from a lean aqueous CO2 absorbent leaving a regeneration column (8), where lean absorbent (30) is withdrawn and flashed (31) to generate a vapor that is compressed (34) and returned into the regeneration column as stripper gas (37), where a part of the lean absorbent (20) is withdrawn and introduced into a reclaimer (21) in which the lean absorbent is boiled to generate a gas phase (23) that is withdrawn and returned into the regeneration column as reclaimed absorbent, and a liquid phase containing impurities (24), wherein the gaseous phase that is withdrawn from the reclaimer is compressed (34) together with the vapor part (33) from the flashing of the lean absorbent, to generate a pressure in the reclaimer that is lower than the pressure in the regeneration column, and a reboiler (11) for carrying out the method, are described.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2010Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Aker Clean Carbon ASInventors: Simon Woodhouse, Otto Morten Bade, Anne-Helene Haaland, Oddvar Gorset, Bjorn Magnus Berg

Patent number: 8168149Abstract: A method and system for CO2 capture from flue gas uses an absorber vessel in which a flue gas stream containing CO2 is contacted with an ammoniated solution to remove CO2 from the flue gas, and a regenerator vessel in which CO2 is released from the ammoniated solution. Parasitic energy consumption of the system can be reduced by adding to the ammoniated solution a promoter effective to enhance the formation of ammonium bicarbonate within the ammoniated solution. The amount of ammoniated solution recycled from the regenerator vessel to the absorber vessel is less than that which would be required using the ammoniated solution without the promoter for removal of the same amount of CO2 from the flue gas.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: May 1, 2012Assignee: ALSTOM Technology LtdInventors: Eli Gal, Otto Morten Bade, Indira Jayaweera, Gopala Krishnan
