Field Demonstration of Advanced CDRMax Solvent at the US-DOE's National Carbon Capture Centre and the CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad DA, Norway

Abstract

Carbon capture solvents should have a low Specific Reboiler Duty, resistance to oxidative degradation, should not be corrosive and should have low emissions to atmosphere. Carbon Clean Solutions Ltd have developed the CDRMax solvent for use on power plant flue gases. The solvent has been tested at both the National Carbon Capture Centre, USA and the Technology Centre Mongstad, Norway. At both centers the SRD, emissions to atmosphere and concentrations of metals in the solvent were measured. The results show that CDRMax was less corrosive and had a lower SRD than 30wt% MEA, had low emissions and was resistant to oxidative degradation.
