SMART - Solvent Management At Reduced Throughput – A Prototype Demonstration Plant (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Joel, L., Pokora, M., Ibrahim, A., Lucquiaud, M., Michailos, S., & Gibbins, J. (2024, October). SMART - Solvent Management At Reduced Throughput – A Prototype Demonstration Plant. Presented at 17th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference (GHGT-17), Calgary, Canada

It is important to verify in advance by pilot testing that amine solvents used for a post-combustion capture application can be maintained in good condition indefinitely and that emissions can be kept at acceptable levels as the solvent ages. UK perm... Read More about SMART - Solvent Management At Reduced Throughput – A Prototype Demonstration Plant.

An Experimental Investigation Of Optimum Conditions For Continuous Two-Stage Reclaiming Of MEA Solvent Inventories From Commercial Plants (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pokora, M., Joel, L., Ibrahim, A., Lucquiaud, M., Michailos, S., & Gibbins, J. (2024, October). An Experimental Investigation Of Optimum Conditions For Continuous Two-Stage Reclaiming Of MEA Solvent Inventories From Commercial Plants. Presented at 17th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference (GHGT-17), Calgary, Canada

This paper describes a series of tests to investigate the optimum conditions for continuous two-stage reclaiming of used monoethanolamine (MEA) solvent from an operating commercial plant, plus process modelling to assess the impact of fully integrate...

Effect of stripper pressure and low lean loadings on the performance of a PCC plant for 99% CO2 capture level (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Michailos, S., & Gibbins, J. (2022, October). Effect of stripper pressure and low lean loadings on the performance of a PCC plant for 99% CO2 capture level. Presented at 16th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference (GHGT-16), Lyon, France

Process modelling based on an open-access design for an MEA post-combustion capture plant that treats CCGT flue gas, has been used to examine the effect of stripper pressure on the energetic performance at low lean loadings as well as potential impro...

A Post-Combustion Capture Deployment Derisking Pilot Plant (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Elliott, W., Benz, A., Gibbins, J., Samson, A., Lucquiaud, M., & Michailos, S. (2022, October). A Post-Combustion Capture Deployment Derisking Pilot Plant. Presented at 16th International Conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies, GHGT-16, Lyon, France

Pilot tests specifically to derisk full scale deployment of amine post-combustion capture plants are becoming of interest as plans for further commercial projects are being developed in the UK and elsewhere. Experience with problems in full-scale de... Read More about A Post-Combustion Capture Deployment Derisking Pilot Plant.

An open-access FEED study for a post-combustion CO2 capture plant retrofit to a CCGT (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Elliott, W., Benz, A., Gibbins, J., & Michailos, S. (2022, October). An open-access FEED study for a post-combustion CO2 capture plant retrofit to a CCGT. Presented at 16th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference 2022 (GHGT-16), Lyon, France

Bechtel National (Reston, VA) have now completed a FEED study for retrofitting a 2x2x1 natural gas-fired combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant with post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) for CO2 storage/utilization. The comprehensive program of... Read More about An open-access FEED study for a post-combustion CO2 capture plant retrofit to a CCGT.

A performance modelling study of integrating a MEA direct air capture unit with a CCGT absorber (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Michailos, S., Samson, A., Lucquiaud, M., & Gibbins, J. (2022, October). A performance modelling study of integrating a MEA direct air capture unit with a CCGT absorber. Presented at 16th Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies Conference (GHGT-16), Lyon, France

Even in optimistic decarbonisation scenarios, there are most likely to be residual emissions that cannot be captured at source or avoided. Hence, research on CDR technologies, such as DACCS, to identify ways for effective deployment is essential for...
