High-Temperature Ceramic- Carbonate Dual-Phase Membrane Reactor for Pre- Combustion Carbon Dioxide Capture

Arizona State University (ASU), in collaboration with the University of South Carolina (USC), seeks to develop technology for a high-temperature, high pressure, ceramic-carbonate dual-phase (CCDP) membrane reactor in this project. The reactor is intended to perform the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction on syngas (maximizing hydrogen [H2] content of the syngas) while simultaneously separating a high-purity carbon dioxide (CO2) stream from the reactor for capture. Project goals include designing and fabricating CCDP membranes with improved CO2 permeance and mechanical strength for testing in a lab-scale reactor with simulated coal-derived syngas. The results will inform a mathematical model used to support process design and a techno-economic analysis (TEA) for a scenario of incorporation of a CCDP membrane reactor in a full-scale integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant.

TASK 5 REPORT FIELD SCALE STRESS MODELING: A Non-Invasive Approach for Elucidating the Spatial Distribution of In Situ Stress in Deep Subsurface Geologic Formations Considered for CO2 Storage

This report describes research accomplishments achieved with funding provided through Department of Energy (DOE) Contract DE-FE0031686, for the project “A Non-Invasive Approach for Elucidating the Spatial Distribution of In Situ Stress in Deep Subsurface Geologic Formations Considered for CO2 Storage.” The purpose of this DOE funding is to develop non-invasive methods to obtain important information about subsurface stresses. The overall research goal of the project was to develop and improve methods for determining the spatial distribution of stresses, including magnitude and orientation of the three principal stress components in the subsurface, based on new methods that extract stress information from seismic data combined with well measurements, extended with well tests and logs, and unified in a numerical model that permits computation of the full stress tensor throughout the domains under investigation.

TASK 2 REPORT EXTRACTING STRESS DATA FROM SEISMIC DATA: A Non-Invasive Approach for Elucidating the Spatial Distribution of In Situ Stress in Deep Subsurface Geologic Formations Considered for CO2 Storage

This report describes research accomplishments achieved with funding provided through Department of Energy (DOE) Contract DE-FE0031686. The purpose of this DOE funding is to develop methods that can provide key information about stress fields that act on deep rocks without invading the earth to acquire that information. The research objective was to demonstrate methods that extract the azimuth directions of SHmax and SHmin stress in deep rocks from traditional seismic reflection data like the data that are used to explore for deep oil and gas reservoirs. Battelle performed two seismic investigations and achieved estimates of SHmax and SHmin azimuths in both efforts that agreed with local, non-seismic, ground-truth measurements of SHmax orientation. The first procedure utilized vertical seismic profiling (VSP) data; the second effort utilized three-dimensional (3D) seismic data.

TASK 3 REPORT LABORATORY CHARACTERIZATION OF STRESS DEPENDENT WAVESPEED: A Non-Invasive Approach for Elucidating the Spatial Distribution of In-Situ Stress in Deep Subsurface Geologic Formations Considered for CO2 Storage

This report presents a summary of Task 3 (Laboratory Experimental Characterization of Stress Dependent Wavespeed in Rocks and Application for In-Situ Stress Estimation) of the project titled “A Non-Invasive Approach for Elucidating the Spatial Distribution of In-Situ Stress in Deep Subsurface Geologic Formations Considered for CO2 Storage”. The main objective of this component of the project was to employ non-destructive techniques to determine how compressional (P)-wave and shear (S)-wave propagation velocities are related to triaxial-stress conditions in laboratory test samples of targeted reservoir rocks. The overarching principle is that such laboratory measurements can provide a basis whereby field measurements of wave-propagation velocities in rocks can be used to ascertain the stress state that would be expected to generate the observed wave-propagation behavior.

CO2 Brine Database

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by injecting unwanted gases into unused deep-brine-bearing aquifers is an attractive option because large-volume sinks underlie many carbon dioxide sources. In this study, funded by DOE/NETL, we inventoried the 16 geologic characteristics of 21 brine-bearing formations in the continental United States to provide basic data needed to assess the feasibility, costs, and risks of this sequestration method. We investigated a diverse spectrum of target formations and compiled a GIS database by digitizing published and unpublished data from each basin.

In many parts of the United States, unused sedimentary rocks can be found at depths suitable for injection. Depth-related criteria are (1) the target lies below and isolated from fresh-water supplies and (2) temperature/pressure conditions are such that carbon dioxide will be supercritical. Brine-formation depth is well known in most basins, the greatest uncertainties being in small and structurally complex areas. In many areas, target depth limits the selection of target formations. Gases are stored by displacing brine from porous rocks. In many areas, targets having high porosities of 20 to 35 percent and thickness in excess of 100 m were identified, indicating that potentially large volumes of carbon dioxide could be stored. Low porosity is typical of carbonate targets; however, thick and a really extensive rock volumes provide adequate storage. Permeability structure and distribution at small and large scale, critical factors controlling the rates of pressure buildup and therefore the rate of injection, are not well known for most brine formations. Data from areas that produce hydrocarbons can be used to make inferences about injectivity characteristics of brine formations.

Effectiveness and safety of geologic sequestration depend on the residence time of injected greenhouse gases. Residence time is controlled by (1) geologic properties of potential pathways for vertical escape through top seal strata and (2) geochemical and hydrologic processes within the target strata. Shale, carbonate, or evaporite seal strata that have the potential to isolate the injected gas from potable water or return it to the atmosphere were identified in all target basins, as well as potential pathways for escape such as faults or domes that penetrate the seal. Detailed information for determining risks of leakage will require additional data collection and analysis. Residence times of saline brines are thought to be on a geologic time scale, but documentation of these rates is variable between basins. Flow direction is down structural dip in some basins and out of the basin in others. In hydrocarbon-producing basins, natural flow has been perturbed, creating areas of underpressure. And in some basins, information used to infer residence time and flow direction has not been collected. Brine-chemistry and rock-mineralogy data can be used to assess the potential for mineral sequestration.

A Process with Decoupled Absorber Kinetics and Solvent Regeneration Through Membrane Dewatering and In-Column Heat Transfer

The University of Kentucky Center for Applied Energy Research (UK CAER) has teamed with Media and Process Technology Inc. and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) through support project FWP-FEW0242 to develop an intensified, innovative carbon dioxide (CO2) capture process. The project goals are to increase system efficiency and enable significant reductions in capital and operating costs of solvent-based post-combustion capture through: (1) the use of 3D-printed, two-channel structured packing material to control absorber
temperature profile and increase the CO2 absorption rate, thereby allowing
decreases in absorber size; (2) implementation of a zeolite membrane dewatering
unit capable of substantial dewatering of carbon-rich solvent to decouple solvent
concentrations that are optimum for CO2 absorption and desorption; and (3)
utilization of a two-phase flow heat exchanger prior to the stripper, providing a
secondary point of vapor generation for CO2 stripping resulting in significant
energy savings.

Universal Solvent Viscosity Reduction Via Hydrogen Bonding Disruptors

Liquid Ion Solutions LLC, along with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Carbon Capture Scientific, will develop and evaluate novel additives that lower the viscosity of water-lean amine solvents for post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture. The project will focus on developing a solvent additive that minimizes the formation of long-range hydrogen bonding (HB) networks, in turn decreasing the solvent viscosity and improving the process economics. Three model solvents will be prepared using amines that encompass the characteristics of most amines used in water-lean solvents, and the solvents will be studied computationally and experimentally to benchmark the behavior of the solvents’ viscosity in the presence of CO2. The project team will then use simulation models to understand the molecular interactions in water-lean solvents and identify additives that disrupt HB networks effectively, measure solvent viscosity reduction with additives at labscale, optimize the combination of additive/solvent and test the optimized system in synthetic flue gas, and perform a cost-benefit analysis to examine the advantage of using additives for solvent viscosity reduction.

Flue Gas Aerosol Pretreatment Technologies to Minimize PCC Solvent Losses

Linde Gas North America, LLC and their project partners will evaluate three flue gas aerosol pretreatment technologies that have the potential to significantly reduce high flue gas aerosol concentrations, which have been shown to contribute to amine losses in solvent based post-combustion carbon dioxide (CO2) capture (PCC) processes. The options that will be evaluated are: (1) a novel high-velocity water spray concept previously tested at a Rheinisch-Westfälische Elektrizitätswerk (RWE) power plant in Niederaussem, Germany; (2) an innovative electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with optimized operating conditions; and (3) a non-regenerative sorbent-based sulfur oxide (SOX) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) removal technology with potential for aerosol particle reduction. The objectives of this project are to design, build, and independently test these technologies at a coal-fired power plant host site using a slipstream of flue gas containing high concentrations of aerosol particles (greater than 107 particles/cm3). The results will be used to benchmark the performance and cost of these technologies against existing options for pretreatment of coal-based flue gas for aerosol mitigation. The impact of this reduction in aerosol concentrations could be leveraged across a variety of solvent-based PCC systems to minimize solvent losses.
