Abstract:
A CO2 energy storage system includes a storage tank that stores a CO2 slurry, including dry ice and liquid CO2, at CO2 triple point temperature and pressure conditions. The storage system also includes a first pump coupled in flow communication with the storage tank. The first pump is configured to receive the CO2 slurry from the storage tank and to increase a pressure of the CO2 slurry to a pressure above the CO2 triple point pressure. The energy storage system further includes a contactor coupled in flow communication with the first pump. The contactor is configured to receive the high pressure CO2 slurry from the pump and to receive a first flow of gaseous CO2 at a pressure above the CO2 triple point pressure. The gaseous CO2 is contacted and then condensed by the melting dry ice in the slurry to generate liquid CO2.
Abstract:
A manufacturing method includes forming one or more grooves in a component that comprises a substrate with an outer surface. The substrate has at least one interior space. Each groove extends at least partially along the substrate and has a base and a top. The manufacturing method further includes applying a structural coating on at least a portion of the substrate and processing at least a portion of the surface of the structural coating so as to plastically deform the structural coating at least in the vicinity of the top of a respective groove, such that a gap across the top of the groove is reduced. A component is also disclosed and includes a structural coating disposed on at least a portion of a substrate, where the surface of the structural coating is faceted in the vicinity of the respective groove.
Abstract:
A method for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a gas stream is provided. The method includes reacting at least a portion of CO2 in the gas stream with a plurality of liquid sorbent particles to form a plurality of solid adduct particles and a first CO2-lean gas stream; the solid adduct particles entrained in the first CO2-lean gas stream to form an entrained gas stream. The method includes separating at least a portion of the plurality of solid adduct particles from the entrained gas stream in a separation unit to form an adduct stream and a second CO2-lean gas stream. The method further includes heating at least a portion of the adduct stream in a desorption unit to form a CO2 stream and a regenerated liquid sorbent stream. A system for separating CO2 from a gas stream is also provided.
Abstract:
A method for treatment of a flue gas involves feeding the flue gas and a lean solvent to an absorber. The method further involves reacting the flue gas with the lean solvent within the absorber to generate a clean flue gas and a rich solvent. The method also involves feeding the clean flue gas from the absorber and water from a source, to a wash tower to separate a stripped portion of the lean solvent from the clean flue gas to generate a washed clean flue gas and a mixture of the water and the stripped portion of the lean solvent. The method further involves treating at least a portion of the mixture of the water and the stripped portion of the lean solvent via a separation system to separate the water from the stripped portion of the lean solvent.
Abstract:
A method for processing a flowback composition stream from a well head includes controlling a first flow rate of the flow back composition stream to a second flow rate by regulating the flowback composition stream from a first pressure to a second pressure. The method also includes separating the flowback composition stream into a first gas stream and a condensed stream. The method includes discharging the condensed stream to a degasser and degassing a carbon dioxide rich gas from the condensed stream. The method also includes mixing the carbon dioxide rich gas stream with the first gas stream to produce a second gas stream. The method includes controlling a third flow rate of the second gas stream by regulating a third pressure of the second gas stream to a fourth pressure that is different than the third pressure.

Abstract:
A method for separating carbon dioxide (CO2) from a fluid stream comprising CO2 and a liquid solvent is provided. The method includes receiving the fluid stream at a first flashing means to obtain a first CO2 stream and a first CO2 lean fluid stream enriched in the liquid solvent in comparison with the fluid stream. Further, the method also includes receiving the first CO2 lean fluid stream at a second flashing means to obtain a second CO2 stream and a second CO2 lean fluid stream that is enriched in the liquid solvent in comparison with the first CO2 lean fluid stream.
