Resumo

In this study, a comparison of Selexol TM and Rectisol ® technologies in an Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) plant for Clean Energy production was carried out .The overall plant efficiency, individual solvent performance, the operating conditions and the energy requirements, the capital and operating cost were analyzed as well as the safety and environmental impacts. The result revealed that both the Selexol TM and Rectisol ® reduce the overall plant efficiency by approximately 9% and 10% respectively. Rectisol ® process showed ability to recover more carbon dioxide and sulfur than the Selexol TM process. It was TM technology in the IGCC
