Thermal integration of waste to energy plants with Post-combustion CO2 capture

Waste-to-Energy (WtE) is becoming an important application sector for carbon capture utilization and storage (CCS) due to its role in urban waste management inherent potential of achieving negative emissions. This study built upon a series modelling activities, with three representative WtE plant steam cycle configurations selected integrate monoethanolamine (MEA) based Post-combustion CO2 Capture (PCC). With 60% biogenic the fuel, set key performance indicators investigated are presented. Results show that there significant heat recovery from PCC process provide District Heating (DH). advanced recovery, energy utility factor (EUF) could be higher than without PCC. also optimised design can used enable ultra-high (99.72% this study) achieved only marginal increase specific reboiler duty when compared 95% capture. highlights importance differentiating intensities different product bases: electrical or thermal waste, which comparing CCS other saving technologies. The findings valuable information future implementation dioxide technology sector.
