    Abstract: The present application relates to separation processes and systems and more specifically to hybrid carbon dioxide separation processes. In one embodiment, the system for the separation or removal of carbon dioxide comprises an apparatus for a selective separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from flue gas—typically exhaust gases, syngas or natural gas streams—using one or more so-called CO2 reverse selective membrane(s) in the first separation unit to enrich a feed gas stream which contains carbon dioxide with CO2 and by separating other constituents of the gas stream. Thus, the feed gas stream is separated in the first separation unit by CO2-reverse-selective separation into a CO2-lean gas stream and a CO2-enriched gas stream. The CO2-enriched gas stream is fed to a second separation unit which is a CO2-selective separation unit. The second separation results in a purified CO2-rich gas stream and a remaining CO2-lean gas stream.

    Abstract: A process fluid cooler can extract thermal energy from a process fluid including carbon dioxide. An absorber can transfer carbon dioxide from the process fluid to a removal fluid. A reboiler can heat the removal fluid so as to cause carbon dioxide to be released from the removal fluid and outputted as part of a reboiler output stream. The reboiler can also output a heating fluid. A stripper condenser can extract thermal energy from the reboiler output stream so as to cause condensation of water associated with the reboiler output stream and to remove carbon dioxide therefrom. A compression system can remove thermal energy from carbon dioxide received from the stripper condenser. A heat engine can be configured to operate according to an organic Rankine cycle, receiving thermal energy from the heating fluid and/or extracted at the process fluid cooler, at the stripper condenser, and/or at the compression system.

    Abstract: Power plants and process for lowering CO2 emissions generally includes extracting a portion of the recirculated CO2-rich flue gas mid-way through the compression pathway of a gas turbine and removing the CO2 in a separation unit. The remaining portion of the CO2 rich flue gas (i.e., the portion of the recirculated flue gas that was not fed to the separation unit) is mixed with fresh air coming from an additional compressor-expander and then fed back to the compression pathway. As a result, flue gas recirculation increases the CO2 concentration within the working fluid, leading to an additional increase in CO2 partial pressure. As the concentration and partial pressure of CO2 is increased, a lower energy penalty is observed to remove the CO2. Moreover, a reduced volume is fed to the CO2 separation unit during operation. Consequently, the size of the separation equipment can be reduced as well as the energy required for the separation process.

    Abstract translation: 发电厂和用于降低二氧化碳排放的方法通常包括通过燃气轮机的压缩路径中途地提取一部分再循环的富含CO 2的烟道气并且在分离单元中除去CO 2。 剩余部分的富含CO 2的烟气(即,未进料到分离单元的再循环烟道气的部分)与来自另外的压缩机 - 膨胀器的新鲜空气混合,然后反馈到压缩路径。 因此,烟道气再循环增加了工作流体内的二氧化碳浓度,导致了二氧化碳分压的进一步增加。 随着二氧化碳的浓度和分压增加,观察到较低的能量损失来去除二氧化碳。 此外,在操作期间将减小的体积供给到CO 2分离单元。 因此,可以减小分离设备的尺寸以及分离过程所需的能量。
