Abstract

This project studied the technical and economic performance of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) as a carbon capture technology in natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plants. PSA is a well-established industrial process for obtaining gas products such as hydrogen, but the process implemented in industry does not achieve the carbon dioxide purity levels over 95% required for carbon capture. The NGCC power plant using PSA as a carbon capture technology also included a case study where hydrogen was co-produced in the power plant. Therefore, hydrogen purity levels above 99% were also required at the end of the PSA process.
