Abstract
As part of the Norcem CO2 capture project, Aker Solutions' Mobile Test Unit (MTU) has been installed at Norcem's cement plant in Brevik, Norway. The main objective of the test campaign is to demonstrate the feasibility of Aker Solutions' Advanced Carbon CaptureTM amine process for the cement industry and determine key design and performance parameters. Operation of the MTU on flue gas from the cement kiln commenced in May 2014 and will continue for 6 months. The results so far indicate that Aker Solutions' amine process operates stable with low energy consumption. In addition, low amine consumption, low degradation and low emissions are observed. Thus, all in all the results suggest that post combustion capture with an advanced amine process is an interesting option for CCS deployment in the cement industry.
