Conclusions
Process sensitivity analysis – a useful tool to analyse plant operabilityrange.
Higher CO2 composition → decrease in the specific reboiler duty. ~ 7.7% experimentally, 6.6% in the modelling.
Higher CO2 capture rate → higher specific reboiler duty Higher CO2 capture rate → higher specific reboiler duty. Optimum L/G ratio is about 1.0. The higher the amine strength, the lower is the specific reboiler duty.g g , p y Lower lean amine loading → decreased cyclic capacity → reduced
degree of regeneration. No comprehensive conclusion can be drawn for the temperatures. Higher stripper pressure → decreased specific reboiler duty →
increased reboiler temperature
08/09/2015 Ali U et al.
increased reboiler temperature.
