Abstract Scope |
Capture and removal of carbon dioxide is necessary to mitigate and counterbalance "hard-to-abate" emissions in the planetary quest toward drawdown. For chemical methods of CO2 capture, process intensification through device multifunctionality can yield greater energy efficiency and reduce plant complexity and footprint, which in turn can reduce overall cost. An additively manufactured intensified structured packing device which co-locates the mass transfer and heat exchange functions enables increases in CO2 capture rates with lower solvent temperatures. The device features embedded channels for coolant flow within a crossflow structured packing device comparable to Sulzer's Mellapack 250 to balance the constraints of manufacturability with flow rate requirements for heat and mass transfer. By leveraging additive manufacturing for process intensification in point-source CO2 capture with solvents, this device demonstrates the utility and value that advanced manufacturing methods enable in multifunctional products. |
