THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED WORK IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE RECIPIENTÂ S CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) CAPTURE SYSTEM (CC) WITH SYNERGISTIC, TRANSFORMATIVE ELEMENTS, PROVEN AT THE BENCH AND ENGINEERING SCALES ON ELECTRICITY GENERATION POINT SOURCES USING PAST DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) FUNDING AT A SUITABLE INDUSTRIAL HOST SITE, UTILIZING A SLIPSTREAM WITH CO2 GENERATED FROM THE OXY-FUEL COMBUSTION AND THE CARBONATED MATERIALS IN THE RAW BATCH FEED. THE RECIPIENT WILL ADDRESS OPERATING CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH GLASS PRODUCTION SUCH AS MOISTURE CONDENSATION, SULFUR DIOXIDE (SO2) PRE-REMOVAL AND HIGH LIQUID HOLDUP RESULTING FROM REQUIRED LIQUID-GAS (L/G) RATIO AND THE VISCOUS NATURE OF THE SOLVENT AT HIGH CARBON LOADING, THE POTENTIAL FORMATION OF NITROSAMINE AS WELL AS THE IMPACT OF CONDENSABLE SOLIDS FROM GLASS PRODUCTION ON ROTARY EQUIPMENT AND THE FLUE GAS DIRECT COOLER. IN BUDGET PERIOD (BP) 1, AN INITIAL TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (TEA) WILL BE CONDUCTED AND AN INITIAL TECHNOLOGY MATURATION PLAN (TMP) WILL BE DEVELOPED. IN BP2, THE ENGINEERING-SCALE UNIT WILL BE FABRICATED, DELIVERED, INSTALLED, AND COMMISSIONED. IN BP3, THE UNIT WILL BE EVALUATED, INCLUDING EMISSIONS MONITORING, DURING PARAMETRIC (DYNAMIC AND STEADY STATE) OPERATION. ADDITIONALLY, AN ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY (EH & S) ASSESSMENT WILL BE CONDUCTED AND THE TEA AND TMP WILL BE FINALIZED. A 9.3 TONNE CO2/DAY (TPD) ENGINEERING SCALE CARBON CAPTURE (CC) UNIT WITH 4 TRANSFORMATIONAL ELEMENTS WILL BE DESIGNED, INSTALLED AND TESTED AT A SUITABLE HOST SITE WITH SOME EQUIPMENT BEING REPURPOSED FROM AN EXISTING PILOT UNIT. A LOW CC COST WILL BE DEMONSTRATED AS ENERGY NEEDED FOR SOLVENT REGENERATION WILL BE RECOVERED FROM THE FLUE GAS. THE SCOPE IN BP1 INCLUDES KICKSTARTING THE COMMUNITY BENEFITS PLAN (CBP), NEGOTIATION AND FINALIZATION OF THE HOST SITE AGREEMENT (HSA), CONDUCTING THE TEA, COMPLETION OF THE CC INSIDE BOUNDARY LIMIT (ISBL) AND BALANCE OF PLAN (BOP) DESIGNS ALONG WITH A HAZARD AND OPERABILITY ANALYSIS (HAZOP); AND PREPARATION OF A COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT DESIGN PACKAGE (PDP) FOR CONTRACTOR SELECTION. THE ISBL DESIGN WILL INCLUDE PLANNING AND SPECIFICATION FOR MODIFICATION OF EXISTING MODULES NEEDED TO REPURPOSE EXISTING EQUIPMENT. THE BOP DESIGN WILL INCLUDE PLANNING AND SPECIFICATION FOR REMOVAL OF EXISTING MODULES FROM THE CURRENT LOCATION; TRANSPORTING THEM TO THE HOST SITE ALONG A PRE-DETERMINED ROUTE; INSTALLATION AT THE HOST SITE; AND INTEGRATION WITHIN THE HOST SITE. AT THE CONCLUSION OF BP1, THE ISBL AND BOP DESIGN WILL BE COMPLETE WITH A COMPREHENSIVE PDP PREPARED FOR CONTRACTOR SELECTION. THE SCOPE IN BP2 INCLUDES ADVANCING THE CBP, CONTRACTOR SELECTION, ISBL AND BOP PROCUREMENT, INSTALLATION AND ONSITE CONSTRUCTION ALONG WITH DETAILING AND DOCUMENTING THE STARTUP, COMMISSIONING AND OPERATIONS PLANS. AT THE CONCLUSION OF BP2, THE COMMUNITY SHOULD BE WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE PROJECT AND THE UNIT SHOULD BE READY FOR STARTUP AND COMMISSIONING. IN BP3 THE CC UNIT WILL BE STARTED UP, OPERATED, AND ANALYZED. FOR DETAILED ANALYSIS OF UNIT AND SOLVENT PERFORMANCE, MEASUREMENTS OF OPERATING PARAMETERS; ENERGY REQUIREMENTS; EQUIPMENT EFFICIENCIES AND RELIABILITIES; SOLVENT DEGRADATION AND EMISSIONS; AND EFFECTIVENESS OF CBP ACTIVITIES WILL BE LOGGED AND ANALYZED. DATA FROM THE PRODUCTION LINE WILL BE USED WITH THE OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE TOTAL SYSTEM TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF CC OPERATIONS ON THE YIELD-ADJUSTED COST OF PRODUCTION. AT THE END OF BP3, COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SHOULD BE RECEIVED AND USED TO ADJUST FUTURE ACTIVITIES; DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONAL TASKS AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSES WILL BE STANDARDIZED AND ROUTINE. ADDITIONALLY, EVALUATION OF THE CBP EFFECTIVENESS AND ESTABLISHING CONTINUED CBP ACTIVITIES; FINALIZATION OF THE TEA AND TMP; AND COMMUNICATING THE COMPREHENSIVE EXPERIMENTAL, TECHNO-ECONOMIC, EH & S, AND COMMUNITY IMPACT RESULTS AND ANALYSIS THROUGH THE FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT.
