Abstract
Recently, there has been a renewed focus in the gasification research community on the development of small-scale modular gasifiers that can take advantage of local solid feedstocks, and modular-scale synthesis reactors, which can generate local fuels, chemicals, and fertilizers. To fully realize the benefits of modular-scale systems, however, it is crucial for the cost of the required CO2 capture to remain low, even at reduced flow rates compared with large-scale IGCC-CCS power plants. In this work, the CO2 capture process in seven pre-combustion power plant with capacities ranging from 54 to 543 MW was modeled using Aspen Plus v8.8. Four physical solvents (PEGPDMS-1, PEGPDMS-3, [bmim][Tf2N..
