Evaluation of Glass Reinforced Plastic for Post Combustion CO2 Capture Amine Service

Available for download

Carbon capture and storage as well as sequestration (CCS) and carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has been gaining immense importance in recent times as one of the practically achievable solutions to reduce global CO2 emissions, especially from industrial sources and thus reduce global warming. The use of different commercially available amine formulations is a well-established and widely used technology to capture the CO2 gas from industrial gas streams. Amines in liquid form, mostly mixed with water as well as in solid form, many times incorporated in nanomaterials are used to capture CO2 from industrial gas streams, eg., tail gas from power plants.

Carbon capture, sequestration, and storage (CCS) is considered as an immediate possible measure to address global warming by reducing CO2 emission to the environment. Amines are used widely to capture CO2 gas from industrial exhaust gas streams. Introduction of cost-effective construction materials in the amine services can offer significant cost benefit to the users. Therefore, an extensive laboratory study was conducted to evaluate glass reinforced plastic (GRP) as a construction material for some large equipment used in the process. Very limited published record was found studying GRP’s interaction with amine solvents, especially for longer time exposure. Information received from GRP and resin suppliers supported the same. Apart from cost reduction, GRP can help reducing iron contamination of amines, which is well known to catalyze amine degradation in a post combustion environment. Impact of exposure of GRP to an amine formulation at temperatures up to 100⁰C on its properties were measured. Changes in glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile properties, Barcol hardness, weight and visual appearance were recorded. The Plastic Design Library (PDL) guided chemical resistance of the GRP material was calculated. No significant impact was observed during this study, indicating suitability of the GRP material for application in amine-based processes up to a certain temperature limit.
