The capture and sequestration of the CO2 emitted from fossil-fuelled power plants is gaining widespread interest for controlling anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases.

Abstract
The capture and sequestration of the CO2 emitted from fossil-fuelled power plants is gaining widespread interest for controlling anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Among technology options for CO2 capture, membrane-based gas separation systems are noteworthy owing to their low energy requirements, promising technology evolution and effective integration with power plants. This paper presents a mathematical model for membrane-based separation systems that is able to cover the most significant membrane types and configurations. This model has been integrated in a general simulation method for analysing and optimizing advanced energy conversion systems. Performance of these simulation tools is demonstrated by evaluating the influence of different operating conditions on the behaviour of pre- and post-combustion separation units, based on metallic or polymeric membranes. Finally, the feasibility of integrating a metallic membrane system into a chemically recuperated gas turbine (CRGT) power plant is explored, obtaining encouraging results for CO2 capture.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
