Commercial-Scale Front-End Engineering Design (Feed) Study for MTR’s Membrane CO 2 Capture Process
This is the final report for a DOE sponsored project (DE-FE00031846) where MTR, Sargent & Lundy (S&L), Trimeric Corporation (Trimeric), in cooperation with Basin Electric Power Cooperative (BEPC), and Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), completed a full-scale Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) study to evaluate the retrofit of MTR’s membrane-based post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture technology to the BEPC Dry Fork Station (DFS) Unit 1. The capture plant is designed to treat the entire flue gas flow from DFS; it is estimated that this system will capture 6,560 tonnes per day (TPD) of carbon dioxide. The overall goal of the project was to develop an AACE Level 2 Capital Cost Estimate with an accuracy of ±15% to demonstrate the economic feasibility of constructing and operating the MTR CO2 capture plant.
