Improving specific power consumption of cryogenic air separation plants using waste heat of carbon capture power plants.
Number: pap. 0032
Author(s) : SINGLA R., CHOWDHURY K.
Summary
A cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) with double column configuration produces pressurized oxygen (PGOX) at purity of 99.6% and above. A single column configuration is sufficient to produce at a purity of 95%, which is required for carbon capture power plants (CCPP). It requires less capital and consumes lower power than a double column configuration. It further makes an economic sense if the unutilized bone-dry low purity (waste) nitrogen, also called pressurised impure gaseous nitrogen (PiGAN), may be heated by the waste heat available in CCPP. It is expanded in a gas-based reheat cycle to produce electricity. This may partially
offset the power consumed in the ASU. Using exergy analysis, pressure of PiGAN is determined in such a way that the net power consumed by ASU (power consumed minus power generation in power cycle) is minimized. At this pressure of PiGAN, single column ASU consumes 12.5% less power than double column ASU.
