About the Project
CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is increasing which causes global warming and climate change. Capturing CO2 from FCCU flue gas in refinery will be an important step in reducing the total CO2 emissions from the refinery. In this PhD research, we will study how to reduce cost and energy consumption of carbon capture for refinery. Different solvents and different process configurations will be compared through process modelling and simulation. The integrated process will be optimised. Techno-economic evaluation and life cycle assessment of the optimised process will be performed. This research outcome will guide future commercial deployment in carbon capture for refinery.
