DESCRIPTION

Gas separation membranes are considered among one of the promising technologies for post-combustion capture and has been studied extensively. Membrane processes are conceptually very simple. However, with existing membrane properties (selectivity and permeability) and other limitations, a single stage membrane process is not feasible to ensure CO2 purity of 95 in the case of post-combustion capture. Traditionally, membrane design is done using sensitivity analysis on a single separation stage or a layout found by trial and error, since it is difficult to simultaneously find a good combination of parameters and layout that achieve the desired target. This presentation will detail the use of systematic methods of process synthesis in the development of a novel graphical approach for the design of multi-stage membrane systems. Incorporating the inherent trade-off between installed area and energy consumption in membrane systems, the methodology utilizes the cost of CO2 removal in the design process. The visual method provides the user with insight in the form of attainable regions to guide the design process. The method allows comparison and evaluation of different membranes in a clear and consistent manner and helps provide feedback to membrane developers.

I Multi-stage systems required for post-combustion capture to95% product purity.

I For multi-stage process the design complexity increases further.I Identifying the “best” configuration for a given membrane is not
