Project Objectives:
• Low capital cost due to compact, simple design• High CO2 capture efficiency
– high efficiency mass transfer– reduced solvent regeneration requirements
• Operationally flexible– turn-down & scale-up with parallel design– easily accommodates variable flow rates and gas
compositions – low maintenance/portable configuration
• Works equally well for physical / chemical absorbents

Impinging jet 122
(Herskowits et. al.)
High Shear Jet Absorber
• highly turbulent... large interfacialarea for mass transfer
• multiple jets… impingement zone creates secondary drop breakup / greater area for mass transfer
Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory

High Efficiency Absorption…. acid gas separation
• Co-inject chemical or physical absorbent–– COCO22 + 2R+ 2R22NH NH ↔ RR22NCOONCOO-- + R+ R22NHNH22
++
–– RR22NCOONCOO-- + H+ H22O O ↔ RR22NH + HCONH + HCO33--
–– R designates R designates ––CC22HH44--OHOH• Mass transfer rate ~ f(interfacial area, film thickness)• Vortex tube
– high differential gas-liquid acceleration - small drops– high turbulence - small film thickness
• GOAL … achieve near equilibrium acid gas loading

CO2/DEA Baseline Testing Operation
• Operating Parameters– 100-500 cm3/min liquid flow rate– 15-50 wt% liquid DEA composition– 80-200 psig inlet gas pressure– 5-15 mol% inlet gas CO2 composition– 25-75 slpm inlet gas flow rate (dependent variable)
• Solvent loading and CO2 capture efficiency unsatisfactory in baseline testing
• Diagnostic testing indicated increased residence time required –process modifications necessary
Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory
21
Process Modifications
• Modifications to process hardware– increase gas-liquid contact time– capacity to adjust the gas-liquid contactor geometric configuration– maintain ability to control the inlet gas pressure and CO2 : DEA
feed stream mole ratio• Modifications to process operating parameters
– 75-350 cm3/min liquid flow rate– 30 wt% liquid DEA composition– 70 slpm inlet gas flow rate– 10 mol% inlet gas CO2 composition– 170-250 psig inlet gas pressure (dependent variable)
