Membranes for Flexible and Cost-effective CCS (FLECCS)

FLECCS will accelerate the development of a novel and flexible CO2 capture technology, aiming at a 15-25% reduction in energy penalty and 30-40% reduction in capture cost compared to alternative technologies on a system-prototype level. The concept does not require any solvents with potentially harmful emissions to the atmosphere. The technology development will involve synthetization of novel polymeric membrane materials, scale-up of the membrane module production process and testing of such modules in an operational environment. Reinertsen New Energy will have the following Scope: WP4 System prototype design (lead Reinertsen New Energy) will: - Develop a conceptual design for the hybrid membrane-CO2 liquefaction system, based on initial knowledge of the lab scale process performance - Develop detailed engineering design utilizing the conceptual design as starting basis. The detailed design shall include all elements which will be part of the prototype, including details of all equipment and bulk and its implication of the overall design - Perform a techno economic study to evaluate the total project design, schedule and construction cost of the prototype - Define commissioning and testing procedures
