Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for flue gas cooling for carbon capture processes are disclosed herein. A flue gas cooling process for carbon capture includes: cooling a flue gas in a direct contact cooler by a cooling water cooled in a closed cooling loop; cooling the cooling water in the closed cooling loop utilizing air-cooled heat exchangers; cooling the flue gas below a water dew point to produce a surplus water when an available cooling duty of the closed cooling loop exceeds a cooling duty required to cool the flue stream to the water dew point; storing the surplus water in a surplus water storage vessel; and directing the surplus water stored in the surplus water storage vessel to the direct contact cooler when the available cooling duty of the closed cooling loop is less than the cooling duty required to cool the flue stream to the water dew point.

Abstract: Devices, systems, facilities, and processes for direct air capture combined with carbon capture for reducing the overall emissions are disclosed herein. An exemplary system may include a first air blower configured to move a CO2 containing gas through a carbon capture unit; the carbon capture unit configured to separate and capture CO2 from the CO2 containing gas to generate a first CO2 rich stream; a second air blower configured to move an air from an air-cooled heat exchanger to a direct air capture unit; the direct air capture unit configured to capture CO2 from the air from the air-cooled heat exchanger to generate a second CO2 rich stream; and a sequestration compression unit configured to compress the first and second CO2 rich streams.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for power plant facilities are disclosed herein. A power plant facility includes a gas turbine; and a power generator that generates electricity from power supplied by the gas turbine. The power plant facility can also include at least one post-combustion capture unit that generates a CO2-rich stream from the combustion products of the gas turbine; and a sequestration compression unit that compresses and conveys at least one CO2-rich stream from a post-combustion capture unit, towards a sequestration site.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for carbon capture optimization in industrial facilities are disclosed herein. An example carbon capture process involves cooling a flue gas stream using at least one gas-to-air heat exchanger disposed upstream of a carbon dioxide (CO2) absorber. Another example carbon capture process involves heating a heat medium for solvent regeneration and CO2 stripping using a fired heater and/or using at least one waste heat recovery unit.

Abstract: Devices, systems, facilities, and methods for post combustion capture of emissions from a natural gas generator used to power a data center disclosed herein. The facility includes a process for capturing and sequestering CO2 from a post combustion capture of the natural gas generator utilizing the heat from the flue gas and from the data center. The CO2 rich streams from the post combustion capture system are sent to sequestration of some form via a sequestration compressor, thereby reducing the overall emissions from the facility.

Abstract: Disclosed are processes, apparatuses, and systems in natural gas pipelines to significantly reduce pigging and blowdown emissions. In an example, a process involves filtering and/or separating pigging or blowdown emissions. The filtered and/or separated pigging/blowdown products can then be stored in a storage, sent back into the natural gas pipeline at a downstream location, or sent to an adjacent pipeline.
