Flexible operation of solvent regeneration systems for CO2 capture processes using advanced control techniques: Towards operational cost minimisation

摘要: Abstract We present a novel approach for the control of solvent regeneration system amine-based CO2 capture processes. This relies on real-time evaluation cost-optimal extent at given energy and prices. To achieve this, multilevel, model predictive architecture is proposed developed this system. The low-level regulates level inside reboiler power supplied to system, while high-level in order minimize operating cost. ensures safe operation concurrently enhancing process flexibility. demonstrate that new technique can result reduction up 10% cost required regeneration.
