EVALUATION OF TEST-RESULTS OF 1000 M(3)N H PILOT-PLANT FOR CO2 ABSORPTION USING AN AMINE-BASED SOLUTION/

Pilot plant tests of the CO2 chemical absorption process (capacity: 10 00m3N/h) were carried out under various operation conditions. In the t ests, a newly developed absorption solution was used. Test results wer e evaluated by using the overall mass transfer coefficient KOGa of the absorption process. The collected data were applied to the evaluation program which calculates plant equipment specifications and design co nfigurations. After the computer aided study the CO2 absorption plant for 1000MW thermal power plant was designed in which CO2 removal is 90 %. The construction area for of the CO2 absorption plant for the 1000M W power plant will be about 170m X 110m.
