“Various challenges the amine–based chemical absorption, especially with the very reactive base solvent MEA (5 kmol/m3) have prompted the need to develop and optimize novel amine solvent combinations. The aim of this development is to achieve some capabilities but not limited to the following list;
- •
-
High absorption rate and capacity
- •
-
High cyclic loading and cyclic capacity
- •
-
High desorption rate
- •
-
High mass transfer
- •
-
Low absorption heat
- •
-
Reduce energy of solvent regeneration.
- •
-
Amine stability
- •
-
Amine volatility and emissions
- •
-
Minimizing amine degradation and associated energy for reclaiming
- •
-
Reduced capital and operating cost
