Abstract

Abstract Flexible operation of post-combustion CO 2 capture (PCC) plants can improve efficiency through coordinating the balance between consumer demands for electricity and CO 2 emission reductions. This strategy however, will impose process disturbances and the immediate and long term impact is unclear. There is a justified need for the development of accurate dynamic PCC models, as well as practical experience in dynamic operation of PCC pilot plants. This paper presents CSIRO PCC pilot plant data from the 2012 and 2013 dynamic campaigns using MEA solvent. The step-change approach to dynamic plant operation was implemented and the use of density meters to instantaneously measure CO 2 loading instantaneously was investigated.
