Carbon dioxide recovery and power generation
View Patent ↗The carbon dioxide recovery system includes a carbon dioxide absorption tower which absorbs and removes carbon dioxide from the combustion exhaust gas of a boiler by an absorption liquid, and a regeneration tower which heats and regenerates the loaded absorption liquid with carbon dioxide. The regeneration tower includes plural loaded absorption liquid heating means, which heat the loaded absorption liquid and remove carbon dioxide in the loaded absorption liquid. The turbine includes plural lines which extract plural kinds of steam with different pressures from the turbine and which supply the plural kinds of steam to the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means as their heating sources. The plural lines make the pressure of supplied steam increase from a preceding stage of the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means to a post stage of the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means.
1. A carbon dioxide recovery system comprising:
a turbine which is driven and rotated by steam;
a boiler which generates the steam supplied to the turbine;
a carbon dioxide absorption tower which absorbs and removes carbon dioxide from a combustion exhaust gas of the boiler by an absorption liquid; and
a regeneration tower which heats and regenerates a loaded absorption liquid with carbon dioxide absorbed therein,
wherein the regeneration tower is provided with plural loaded absorption liquid heating means in multiple stages which heat the loaded absorption liquid and remove carbon dioxide in the loaded absorption liquid, wherein the turbine is provided with plural lines which extract plural kinds of steam with different pressures from the turbine and which supply the extracted plural kinds of steam to the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means as their heating sources, and wherein the plural lines are connected to make the pressure of supplied steam increased from a preceding stage of the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means to a post stage of the plural loaded absorption liquid heating means.
2. A power generation system comprising: the carbon dioxide recovery system according to claim 1 ; and a generator which generates electric power by the rotation of the turbine.
3. A method for recovering carbon dioxide, comprising the steps of:
generating steam and combustion exhaust gas by a boiler;
supplying the steam to a turbine;
extracting plural kinds of steam having different stream pressures from the turbine;
absorbing carbon dioxide in the combustion exhaust gas from the boiler by using an absorption liquid; and
removing the carbon dioxide in the absorption liquid by progressively heating the absorption liquid by use of the plural kinds of steam in ascending order of steam pressure.
4. A method for generating electric power, comprising: each step of the method for recovering carbon dioxide according to claim 3 ; and a step of generating electric power by the rotation of the turbine from which the plural kinds of steam with different pressures are extracted.
