| dc.description.abstract | The removal of carbon dioxide (CO₂) at offshore operation requires an absorption system with an environmentally friendly solvent that can operate at elevated pressure. Potassium carbonate promoted with glycine, PCGLY, is a green solvent that has potential for offshore applications. For high solvent concentrations at elevated pressure, the by-product of CO₂ absorption consists of precipitates that increase operational difficulty. Therefore, this study was done to assess the CO₂ absorption performance of non-precipitated PCGLY with concentration 15wt%PC+3wt%GLY, which is known to have comparable solubility performance with MDEA. A packed absorption column was used to identify the CO₂ removal efficiency, mass transfer coefficient in liquid film, klae, and overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient, KGav. A simplified rate-based model was used to determine klae and KGav based on the experimental data with a maximum MAE value, 0.057. The results showed that liquid flow rates and liquid temperature gives significant effects on the klae and KGav profile, whereas gas flow rate and operating pressure had little effect. The CO₂ removal efficiency of PCGLY was found to be 77%, which was only 2% lower than 1.2 kmol/m3 MDEA. KGav of PCGLY is comparable with MDEA. The absorption process using PCGLY shows potential in the CO₂ sweetening process at offshore. | |
