  • the separation of CO 2 from the flue gas (3) after combustion is achieved by suitable washes or, in the long term, by membrane systems.
  • the disadvantage of this method is that high volume flows of flue gas with relatively low CO 2 concentration must be cleaned. Membranes for the separation of CO 2 will therefore have a high demand for membrane area.
  • Typical process parameters for the flue gas to be treated would be: 1000 mVs with 18 vol.% CO 2 .
  • IGCC Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle
  • Coal in a boiler (7) with pure oxygen and the subsequent step of flue gas cleaning (2) has a decisive advantage.
  • Combustion in pure oxygen provides as combustion products only CO 2 and water vapor, which can be separated in a very simple manner during cooling of the gas mixture by condensation of CO 2.
  • the CO 2 and the water vapor are advantageously recycled and returned to the boiler (7) together with the oxygen stream.
  • the pure oxygen can be generated either by a conventional cryogenic air separation, or by means of an O 2 membrane, wherein the recycled CO 2 / steam mixture can serve as purge gas.
  • Figure 2 shows an ideal porous CO 2 membrane according to the prior art, which is able to separate 50% of the CO 2 contained in the flue gas of a coal-fired steam power plant (post-combustion capture), with a CO 2 Purity of 90 mol%.

  • the membrane power plants are said to have an extraordinarily high potential in terms of efficient CO 2 separation and sequestration. Rather than expected about 10 to 15 percentage points of efficiency loss in today starting Kraftwerkspro- With conventional gas separation methods (eg RWE plans 450 MW IGCC 2014 and power plant with MEA wash after 2014), only some 5 percentage points of efficiency loss is expected for some membrane power plant lines (after their development and optimization). However, great efforts would have to be made to come close to the outstanding high theoretical potential of membrane gas separations.
  • the gas separation tasks to be solved in the membrane power plants thus include on the one hand the separation of CO 2 from flue gases, as well as the separation of H 2 from coal gas (after CO shift) and the separation of O 2 from air.

Elaborate measures will only be used where this is urgently required or the corresponding membrane process area is very small.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif servant à séparer le CO2 d'un gaz de procédé et comprenant au moins trois unités séparatrices (étapes ou étages de séparation) munies de membranes perméables au CO2 pour la séparation du CO2. Selon un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux de ce dispositif, au moins deux unités séparatrices sont réalisées en tant qu'étapes de séparation placées l'une derrière l'autre, le rétentat de la première unité de séparation étant utilisé comme charge pour la deuxième unité de séparation. Une troisième unité de séparation est placée en aval de la deuxième unité de séparation, de sorte que le perméat de cette unité de séparation est utilisé comme charge pour la troisième unité de séparation. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend en outre des moyens pour le réglage d'une pression de perméat distincte pour chaque unité de séparation. Les flux de perméat résultant des étapes de séparation des unités de séparation 1 et 3 peuvent être réunis. Un tel dispositif permet de séparer le CO2 d'un gaz de procédé, le gaz de procédé étant conduit à travers plusieurs membranes et au moins un flux de perméat étant conduit à travers une autre membrane dans un autre étage de séparation, les flux de perméat résultants étant ensuite réunis. Grâce à ce procédé, on peut séparer le CO2 d'un gaz de procédé en obtenant un degré de séparation élevé et une grande pureté tout en atteignant un rendement net élevé.
