Title: Modeling and simulation for post-combustion carbon dioxide capture from power plant flue gas with economic analysis
Abstract: In this study three configurations, viz. conventional MEA, interstage absorber, and interstage absorber with two stripper configuration have been techno-economically evaluated for the optimized result by carrying out simulations using ASPEN PLUS. An economic model defined for carbon capture using 30 wt% MEA to reduce CO2 in flue gas to 0.5 mol% of 550 MWe coal fired power plant resulted in increase in COE of power plant by 20.6, 17.4, and 15.6 percents for the three configurations, respectively. The CO2-avoided cost for the three configurations are 65.94, 64.05, and 63.09 ($ /tonne of CO2 avoided), respectively.
