Energy, 2021, vol. 227, issue C

Abstract: In this work, the performance of an amine-based post-combustion carbon capture system using MEA (monoethanolamine) integrated to a Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant is studied. WtE plants are affected by fluctuations at different time-scales, due to changes in waste properties as well as variations in district heat demand. A dynamic model of the combined plant is used to study the effect of flue gas fluctuations on capture plant operation, and the effect of integrating the capture plant into the WtE plant.
