Publication Overview
The purpose of this review was to outline the current state of knowledge and provide an assessment of the following aspects:
- Process chemistry and kinetics, • Operational issues and major development issues,
- Qualitative evaluation of the performance of absorber and stripper column,
- Safety and Environmental Impact considerations.
- Technology maturity and reported time scale for commercialisation.
Assessments were made to identify the potential benefits, challenges, and uncertainties regarding the three processes described. Also included in this report is a brief review of the current state of knowledge of Flour’s Econamine FG+ process which was used as a baseline case for performance comparison. All assessments made in this report were based on information made available in the open literature, supported by kinetic evaluations made at SINTEF’s laboratory.
Publication Summary
SINTEF Chemistry and Materials has extensively evaluated and assessed three novel solvents in this report. The assessment has been made based on publicly available information and supplemented by kinetic data gathered in their laboratory.
The assessments made were aimed to identify the potential benefits, challenges, and uncertainties regarding the three processes described. Also included in this report is a brief summary of a standard MEA based process which is used for performance comparison. The standard MEA process is based on Fluors Econamine technology.
