Table 4
Performance of solvents regarding energy consumption of the reboiler (CO2 recovery = 85%).
| Solvent | MDEA 40 | MDEA 37 + HA 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Lean CO2 loading (mol CO2/mol solvent) | 0.115 | 0.2 |
| Absorber trays | 4 | 4 |
| Striper trays | 4 | 4 |
| Energy consumption (GJ/tCO2) | 3.45 | 2.9 |
