Background
The dehydration step is a small part within the full CO2 capture and storage chain yet this unit plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of the system. In the past, this step usually appeared as a black box process, with little information available on its detailed design. However, the conventional drying technologies face a number of challenges that need consideration before full-scale deployment. These include, for example, the effect of impurities in the captured CO2 stream on the dehydration process.
IEAGHG commissioned AMEC to carry out this study in order to examine the characteristics of the various drying processes and their integration into the CCS system. |
