Carbon Capture Modeling & Analysis
Carbon Capture & Sequestration
EPA mandates require extremely low carbon emissions for all power plants. One key solution is Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS). This is a new and energy-hungry process that can have a significant effect on your plant, yet it may be your best option. TRAX can show you how the CCS addition will affect your generating process and equipment as well as how to maximize CCS efficiency to consume as little power as possible Download a PDF
TRAX can help you determine which option is best for your plant.
Unlike other emissions regulations where the goal is complete removal. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) modeling allows for significant flexibility to bring total CO2 to a desired level. Is it best to remove 75% from one of your units or 20% from all of your units? TRAX simulation/modeling provides the ideal tool for examining these “what if” scenarios and evaluating the true costs of each.
TRAX: Industry Standard in Power Plant Performance Engineering Analysis.
We Can...
- Show You whether to scrub multiple units together or individually?
- Test & evaluate alternative plant configurations
- Demonstrate oxy-combustion interactions
- Help you determine whether to treat only a portion of the exhaust to optimize your Carbon Capture and Storage effort
Evaluating necessary Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) equipment:
- CO2 scrubbers
- Cooling solutions for moisture removal
- Gas recirculation
- Compression of the captured CO2
Evaluate impact on your current plant:
- TRAX will show you how much net power output will actually be affected by adding a new Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) Unit
- How does this equipment affect furnace draft or the operation and efficiency of your SO2 scrubber, SCR or baghouse?
- How fast can the unit ramp up or down?
- What is the unit's behavior during emergencies (MFT, load rejection, equipment trips)?
TRAX has the right tools, experience, and capability to model your plant with dynamic, first-principles-based utilities.
TRAX's power engineers and former plant operators have developed and refined these tools over 25 years and continue to serve the power generation industry with world-class, dynamic, engineering analysis solutions.
