Abstract

CO2 compression systems are commonly designed assuming negligible amount of impurities in CO2 fluid, it is of practical interest to evaluate the impact of impurities in oxy-fuel streams on the compression power requirements. Compared to more traditional postcombustion and pre-combustion capture methods, oxy-fuel technology produces a CO2 stream with relatively high concentration of impurities that may require partial or a high level of removal and whose presence can be expected to increase the costs of CO2 compression. Four types of compression technologies employed include four-stage compressor with 4 intercoolers, single-stage supersonic shockwave compressor, three-stage compressor combined with subcritical liquefaction and pumping and three-stage compressor combined with supercritical liquefaction and pumping. The study depicts that decrement of the impurities content from 15 to 0.7%v/v in the CO2 streams reduced the total compression power in the compression system. The study also concludes that three-stage compressor combined with subcritical liquefaction and pumping can potentially offer higher efficiency than four-stage compressor with 4 intercoolers for almost pure CO2 streams. In the case of raw oxy-fuel mixture, that carries relatively large amount of impurities, subcritical liquefaction proved to be less feasible, while supercritical liquefaction efficiency is only marginally lower than that in the four-stage compressor with 4 intercoolers.
