Steel production is a main source of CO2 emissions globally. These emissions must be drastically reduced to meet climate change mitigation goals. STEPWISE is a Sorption Enhanced Reactive Process (SERP) technology that converts steel works arising gases to H2 with simultaneous CO2 capture. The main energy requirements of the process are the high- and low-pressure steam quantities that are needed to rinse and regenerate the adsorbent. In this simulation study, the separation performance of STEPWISE is evaluated over a range of steam and feed pressure inputs by searching those design points where CO2 recovery and purity percentages are equalized. This method is used to facilitate the comparison of different operating regimes. Results highlight the importance of the rinse to purge ratio (R/P) as a design variable. A higher R/P ratio is demonstrated to maintain CO2 recovery and purity of ~95.5%, while total steam consumption and feed carbon loading are reduced by 27% and 20%, respectively. This is achieved without changing other parameters, like cycle time. Additionally, it is demonstrated that the CO2 capture performance can be maintained for varying feed pressure values by tuning the feed carbon loading. Future studies are recommended to focus on the expected role of the feed gas steam content on these findings.
