Abstract

Abstract: IHI, with technical support from CSIRO, designed and constructed the "PICA pilot plant", for the continued development of an advanced PCC process, which will enable a reduction in the CO2 capture absorbent regeneration energy by 40% compared to the conventional MEA based process. The project team installed the pilot plant at the AGL Loy Yang power plant in Australia. The pilot plant has been commissioned and tested in a conventional MEA based process configuration and has commenced a 5, 000 hour operating campaign using the IHI absorbent and the IHI optimized process configuration, and had achieved 1, 800 hours of operationby mid September, 2016. The designed CO2 capture ratio of 90% has been achieved and stable plant operation has been confirmed. Continuous analysis will be kept for confirming the performance and robustness of the system.
