Process Overview
Post combustion Carbon Capture is a process to capture the CO2 from the flue gas generated by combustion of fuel such as natural gas, coal or oil. In the first step, flue gas is conditioned by removal of particulates using an Electrostatic Precipitator, SOX using a desulfurization unit and NOx using selective catalytic reduction. The conditioned flue gas is then sent to an absorption unit where a solvent (amines) absorbs the CO2 selectively from the flue gas. The rich amine solvent then goes to a stripper where steam is used to strip CO2 from the solvent. The lean solvent is then recycled back to the absorber. Pure CO2 from the stripper column overhead is then sent to compression for storage or use.

RVN advantage
RVN Technical Team has the expertise and experience to select the best available technology for post combustion carbon capture process. We work with all licensors to evaluate which technology offering suits the client’s objectives best and works well within the project constraints. We also put together engineering designs for all process steps including the balance of plant equipment such as utilities, tank farm, unloading and loading. RVN can lead/support project execution from the conceptual design stage all the way to the detailed engineering stage. RVN works with partners that can provide procurement, construction and startup services. In short, RVN can help turn conceptual ideas into fully operational projects making commercially successful products in a safe and environmentally friendly process.
