As carbon dioxide anthropogenic generation and climate change appear to be correlated,
carbon capture becomes necessary, in particular if applied to coal-fired power plants. The
Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) is a promising technology to be proved for the purpose.

As carbon dioxide anthropogenic generation and climate change appear to be correlated, carbon capture becomes necessary, in particular if applied to coal-fired power plants. The Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) is a promising technology to be proved for the purpose. This work investigates the integration of Ultra Super Critical (USC) power plants with CAP, conducting a parametric investigation on the design parameters to find the optimum and analyzing then on the details of the power block. The commercial code Aspen Plus and the in-house research code GS are employed. With respect to a reference plant, carbon capture reduces the net electrical power by 19% and the net electrical efficiency by 8.5 percent points. The performance index SPECCA is also utilized. The optimum SPECCA is 3.18 MJ/kgCO2, which is to be compared to 4.2 MJ/kgCO2 for conventional amine.
