Highlights of an amine-based CO2 capture pilot plant campaign at the Fortum Oslo Varme Waste to Energy plant in Oslo, Norway

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of all the most significant results obtained during the CO2 capture pilot plants operation with Shell CANSOLV’s amine-based solvent DC-103. The pilot plant campaign at a full-scale waste to energy (WtE) plant in Oslo, Norway achieved its primary purpose of demonstrating low amine related emission levels during a test campaign of many months during 2019. This assures that the planned full-scale CO2 capture plant will meet the expected emissions specifications. It also allowed to gather important data on absorbent degradation in actual operation on WtE plant flue gas and confirm other performance parameters of the technology such as capture efficiency, energy requirements and product (CO2) purity.
