Abstrakt: Abstract: It is now well known that “first generation” MEA based post-combustion carbon capture process requires high energy consumption and have problems with solvent degradation due to oxygen. Nevertheless, it is the only available process for first industrial units. That is why IFP, has developed HiCapt+ process, based on a conventional MEA but using high performance oxidative inhibitors and higher amine concentration. This inhibition enable to increase the solvent concentration without corrosion or degradation problems and lead to reduction of the regeneration energy demand due to flow rate reduction. Moreover, the huge reduction of solvent degradation avoids the difficult management of reclaiming unit, as well as avoiding high concentration of degradation product in the treated flue gas like NH3. Moreover this process will be tested next year in 2010 in the ENEL pilot plant of Brindisi. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
