DrACO2
Modeling and development of the de-carbonization of a waste incineration plant by CO2 supplied flue gas treatment.
Cooperation project with Leibniz University Hannover, Institute for Power Plant Technology and Heat Transfer and the associated partner EEW Energy from Waste GmbH (Helmstedt), duration: 01.01.2022 to 31.12.2024, funding provider: BMWK within the framework of the 7th Energy Research Program.
Waste incineration plants have a permanent place in waste management due to the ban on landfilling untreated municipal waste, which came into force on 01.06.2005. The thermal energy released during incineration can be used to generate electricity, heat and process steam. In order to develop aCO2 circular economy in the future, it is necessary to increasingly equip plants with CCU processes.
The objective of DrACO2 is to demonstrate the mode of operation and the potential for optimization measures of flue gas cleaning as well asCO2 capture at a pilot plant for waste incineration with flue gas cleaning and downstreamCO2 absorption as a basis for the design of commercial plants.
The verification will be carried out experimentally and simulatively and will show which measures can be target-oriented for real plant projects with cross-sectoral processes.
The task of CUTEC is the coupling of the existing absorption stages with the MARTIN® push-back grate, the planning, execution and evaluation of the experiments and the modeling of the gas treatment in ChemCAD.
EEW as an associated partner would like to use the obtained results as soon as possible for the design of commercial CCU assemblies at existing waste incineration plants.
