Project Summary:
Separation of CO2 from power plant flue gas is very important due to influence of
power generation and CO2 capture process on each other. CO2 capture process in Besat
power plant has designed and built in order to separation of CO2 from flue gas for using
in food and other industries.
The following studies were implemented to evaluate the integration the power plant and
the CO2 capture unit:
• The amount of flue gas and the extracting location from the power plant was
identified and based on these calculations, the diameter of the flue gas duct was
determined.
• The configuration of the CO2 capture unit was optimized by determination the
amount of the flue gas captured from each unit of the power plant and its
impacts on performance of the units.
• The influence of the flue gas removal on power plant efficiency was investigated
by using a software for both gas and heavy fuel oil.
• The effect of the CO2 capture on the power plant components was evaluated.
Some of this effects are:
a) The influence of the flue gas removal on the Air heater performance
b) The effect of the pressure drops on blower performance
