Abstract
A survey covers ways to achieve carbon dioxide-lean fossil fuel power plants. The need for carbon dioxide-lean power plants is urgent with all fossil fuel power plants to operate carbon dioxide-lean by 2020. The flue gas scrubbing unit added to existing facilities has the advantage that it is mastered with the disadvantage that there is no goal-optimized scrubbing agent available and overall efficiency is low. The complete description of the energy flow in a brown coal power plant has been made for the first time using the AspenPlus® program. The energies required (steam and electricity) can be taken directly from different turbine stages or from the generator. This symbiosis of energy and process engineering opens a new optimization potential. How this is applied is given in two examples. In the 100% case mono-ethanolamine is considered. Because of the strong bonding of carbon dioxide to the amine, energy-intensive regeneration is needed. The authors have recently developed a hyper-branched polymer class as a potential flue gas scrubbing agent. These can be made to measure, a possibility that already exists for ionic liquids. The expense as a function of the degree of separation is considered.
