Abstract
Babcock-Hitachi has developed an advanced amine-based scrubbing technology for capturing carbon dioxide from flue gas of coal-fired power plants. The advanced absorbent (H3-1) was confirmed to have superior characteristic with actual gas in a pilot plant at EERC. The energy efficiency of advanced CO_2 capture process with H3-1 absorbent was estimated in a new pilot-scale facility involving a vapor recompression system.
