Title:
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING ENERGY UTILIZED IN A FLUE GAS PROCESSING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/071125
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for managing an amount of energy utilized by a carbon dioxide capture system (150) that includes providing a fuel (122) and a feed stream (132) including oxygen to a combustion system (120). The feed stream (132) includes a portion of a flue gas stream (124) generated upon combustion of the fuel (122) in the combustion system (120). The flue gas stream (124) is subjected to a carbon dioxide capture system (150) to remove carbon dioxide therefrom and an amount of at least one of an oxygen stream or the portion of the flue gas stream (124) introduced to the feed stream (132) is adjusted such that the feed stream (132) maintains an oxygen concentration in a range of between 10% to 90% by volume and the carbon dioxide capture system (150) operates at an energy load between about 1.4 GJ/ton of carbon dioxide and about3.0 GJ/ton of carbon dioxide.
