| description | Even though there are numerous CO<sub>2</sub> capture technologies (such as chemical and physical absorption), investigators are still trying to come up with novel methods that can minimize the energy requirements for their integration into thermal power plants, as well as the CAPEX and OPEX expenses. In this work, the technical and financial aspects of integrating two-stage polymeric membranes into a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of 330 MW were examined. The study researched the membrane post-combustion CO<sub>2</sub> capture process utilizing CHEMCAD version 8.1 software with several parameters and an expander to decrease the total cost. The simulation showed promising results regarding reducing power consumption after using an expander for both a high capture rate (>90%) and a CO<sub>2</sub> concentration of more than 95%. Thus, the CO<sub>2</sub> captured cost decreased from 58.4 EUR/t (no expander) to 48.7 EUR/t (with expander). |
