(author)It is known that the use of volatile solvents for a post combustion capture process can lead to emission of the solvent due to their high vapour pressure. More recently, the issue of emission due to the formation of aerosols has been observed at different pilot plants. Therefore, it is of high importance to understand the mechanism of the...conference paper 2013

Schipper, K. (author), van der Gijp, S. (author), van der Stel, R.W. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)It is generally recognized that algae could be an interesting option for reducing CO2 emissions. Based on light and CO2, algae can be used for the production various economically interesting products. Current algae cultivation techniques, however, still present a number of limitations. Efficient feeding of CO2, especially on a large scale, is...article 2013

Misiak, K. (author), Sanchez Sanchez, C. (author), van Os, P.J. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)A major consideration for post-combustion CO2 capture is the adverse effect of the presence of SO2 on the absorption desorption process. The most common approach is to remove the SO2 from the flue gases in a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit prior the CO2 recovery process. This paper reports the experimental and modeling results of a new...article 2013

de Miguel Mercader, F. (author), Voice, A.K. (author), Trap, H.C. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Potential production and emission of nitrosamines during post-combustion CO2 capture has drawn some attention due to their toxicity and potential carcinogenicity. One of the possible ways to reduce the concentration of nitrosamines is irradiation of the liquid streams of the capture plant with UV light. This paper shows experimental results of...article 2013

Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Als het aan TNO en diens Russische zakenpartner Topchiev Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis (TIPS) ligt, worden bij de medium grote olieplatforms de affakkelinginstallaties vervangen door een katalytisch proces. Daarmee krijgt het gas, dat nu nog wordt afgefakkeld, een andere bestemming. De katalysatoren zetten het gas om in gasoline, een vorm...article 2013

(author)We report on a detailed study of emissions from a pilot-plant for CO2 capture at Maasvlakte (in the Netherlands). Three contributions to emissions were identified and analyzed: Gas phase emission, aerosols (also referred to as mist or fog) and droplets of entrained solvents. For the emission campaign at Maasvlakte aerosols were found to be the...article 2013

van der Ham, L.V. (author), de Kler, R.C.F. (author), Goetheer, E.L.V. (author)Post-combustion CO2 capture can have a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions. However, it also requires a considerable amount of energy, causing a significant decrease in the net electricity output of the power plant it is associated with. A vast array of research initiatives is currently aimed at reducing this decrease. One...conference paper 2013

E.L.V., (author)Removing acid gases such as CO2 and H2S from a gas mixture is nowadays often done using an absorption process. Two essential operating variables of such a process are the amount of active absorbent present in the solvent mixture and the amount of absorbed acid gas. Normally, the solvent concentration and the acid gas loading are measured by...conference paper 2013
