Popis: This paper describes a detailed process optimization of the mass and energy balances for multi-stage membrane systems used in coal-fired power plants. Based on the recovery rate of 50% or 90% CO 2 with 95 mol% CO 2 purity, different concepts using recirculation of flue gas and variation of feed gas compressor and vacuum pump on the permeate side were developed and optimized to obtain minimum energy consumption. Simultaneously, a cost model was developed to make a further analysis of the optimized concept in view of the tradeoff balance between material and energy consumption.
