Research and application of modular skid-mounted CO2 recovery technology
Under the background of “carbon peak and carbon neutrality”
traditional chemical enterprises are encountering challenges due to CO
2
emission limitations. CCUS(Carbon Capture
Utilization and Storage) technology emerges as a crucial strategy for addressing CO
2
emissions. To mitigate emissions at the source
chemical companies are turning to CO
2
flue gas capture and recovery technologies
while also exploring ways to integrate these efforts into a cost-effective CCUS industrial chain. To overcome the drawbacks
of traditional CO
2
flue gas recovery units
such as large land use
high construction costs
inflexibility
and lengthy construction times
the modular skid-mounted CO
2
recovery technology has been introduced. This innovative approach minimizes upfront investment and accelerates project timelines by modularizing the recovery process
allowing for 100% factory prefabrication and streamlined on-site assembly. The skid-mounted design efficiently organizes pipelines and valves
integrating equipment within each module onto skids
resulting in a fully modular skid-mounted CO
2
recovery unit. Field applications demonstrate significant advantages of the modular skid-mounted approach over conventional methods. For example
a 5×10
4
tons per year coal-to-hydrogen CO
2
flue gas recovery unit saw a 74.0% reduction in construction costs
a 75.2% decrease in required space
and a 50.0% shorter construction timeline
effectively meeting the objectives of cost reduction and expedited project completion.
