Resumo

This chapter discusses post-combustion CO2 separation technology. In post-combustion capture, CO2 is recovered from the exhaust gases of emission sources, such as boilers, heaters, and turbines. These sources are present everywhere around the world in refineries, power plants, gas processing plants and chemical plants. Improving the economics of post-combustion capture was a critical goal for the entire CO2 Capture Project (CCP). The CCP's goal was to achieve a 50% cost reduction in retrofits and a 75% cost reduction in new built plants. The chapter summarizes the results of research over the past years. The CCP post-combustion technology team was formed at the beginning of the CCP, and has since evaluated numerous technologies that were believed to be valuable for CO2 separation from flue gases. Current post-combustion capture practice is to install an amine separation unit at the flue gas source.
