CO2 Capture by the Integrated VSA/Cryogenics method including Pipeline Transportation

Abstract

This thesis proposes a hybrid technology of vacuum swing adsorption and cryogenic liquefaction to capture CO2 at high recovery with an energy penalty comparable with the traditional amine absorption process. After the capture, this thesis also proposes a pipeline transportation system which utilizes the ground/ambient temperature to retain its liquid phase. Significant amount of laboratory experiment and software simulation have been conducted and conclusions and recommendation have been provided for future research work.
