Abstract

Compression of carbon dioxide is one of the most energy-consuming stages of the carbon capture and storage cycle. However, there are many methods to reduce the process energy consumption. One of them is the use of waste heat recovered from the compression process to improve the overall effciency of the power unit. It is proposed within the presented analysis that waste heat may be utilized in the regeneration system. Heat recovery from an 8-stage integrally geared compressor and a 2-stage shock wave compressor is investigated. Additionally, the impact of waste heat recovery on the thermal cycle overall effciency is calculated.
