Efficiency maximization through optimum amine concentration
Carbon dioxide capture plays a crucial role in combating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Gas scrubbers play a vital role in the process of CO2 absorption. A key component in a gas scrubber is the scrubbing liquid, and monitoring it is critical. By constantly measuring the scrubbing liquid, the performance for CO2 absorption can be kept within the ideal range.
This optimizes the use of process fluids and minimizes operating costs. In this way, we combine ecological responsibility with economic efficiency. LiquiSonic® provides precise analysis and monitoring of the scrubbing liquid with an accuracy of up to ± 0.05 % through ultrasonic measurements.
The robust plug & play sensor design ensures a long system lifetime and reduces time-consuming laboratory measurements. Furthermore, the measurement system extends the life of your process equipment by reducing corrosion that can occur due to overdosing
Cost reduction through process optimization
Accurate determination of amine concentration is essential for effective operation of a carbon capture system. Over-concentration can lead to unnecessary regeneration of incompletely loaded amine, driving up energy costs. On the other hand, an amine concentration that is too low can result in CO2 not being completely removed from the system. As a result, the CO2 cannot be fully stored and ends up in the environment.
To overcome these challenges, the LiquiSonic® measurement system is already being used across the board. It can continuously determine the concentration of the absorption liquid with an accuracy of up to ± 0.05%. The application of LiquiSonic® ensures an effi cient capture of CO2, which in parallel helps to minimize the costs for energy, chemicals and laboratory work. The LiquiSonic® measurement system therefore plays an essential role in ensuring and optimizing the efficiency and sustainability of the carbon capture process.
Process optimization through combination measurements
When considering multi-component systems, such as in the context of Benfield process gas scrubbers, the accurate determination of the concentration of the scrubbing solution and the salt content is an essential aspect for efficient and cost-optimized process control in the removal of CO2.
In this respect, the LiquiSonic® measuring system offers a precise and continuous solution. It allows a precise monitoring of the mentioned process parameters, which enables a significant reduction of material and energy costs and at the same time minimizes laboratory costs. The exact real-time monitoring also increases process reliability and thus reduces the risk of production downtime.
Furthermore, the LiquiSonic® measuring system scores with its robustness and durability. Even under demanding operating conditions, it reliably delivers precise measured values and is able to record and document process fluctuations in real time.
