fired boiler flue gas, SOx and mercury. These components will have significant<br />

effects on the permeator function and there control before admission to the<br />

permeator is important. Acceptance criteria for them have been established.<br />

To date, using smaller, laboratory scale devices, we have studied both analog<br />

(ersatz) streams and flue gas derived from combusting methane or propane. The<br />

feed gas CO2 concentration ranged from 0.05- 40% in air, and 6%-13% derived<br />

from burning hydrocarbon fuels. Feed gas source or composition did not affect<br />

CO2 permeance. The solubility of each non-reactive gas in the solvent liquid<br />

alone determined the specific permeance and thus the selectivity. For coal<br />

(natural gas) feed streams will contain about 13.8% (3.5%) CO2; the retentate,<br />

returned to the stack, are expected to contain 1.6% (0.4%) CO2, while the dry<br />

compressed product is 94.9% (89%) CO2 for a given permeator design. We are<br />

in process of determining the actual operation values. The status will be<br />

discussed.
