Rotating packed beds (RPBs) have gained increasing attention recently for their potential in process intensification. RPBs rely on centrifugal force to increase the contact of different phases such as liquid-solid or liquid-gas, thus enhancing mass transfer between the two. In the case of post-combustion CO2 capture from flue gases, this also enables a reduction in absorber and desorber sizes. The EU-funded HiRECORD project will demonstrate the high-tech readiness of a modular CO2 capture plant comprising a RPB absorber and advanced RPB desorber with integrated spinning reboiler and advanced, greener solvent. The system will cut CO2 capture costs in half compared to conventional technologies while significantly lowering the environmental and safety impacts.
