Modularisierung von Gaswäschern für die CO2-Entfernung aus Biogas Modularization of Gas Scrubbers for CO2 Separation from Biogas.

Modularization has been identified as one of the research fields of the '50 % idea'︁. A development methodology for modules must consider both the economies of scale for investment costs and costs of operation and maintenance. In this paper, the impact of an absorber module, which is offered as discretized diameter scaling, on the total process is investigated at the example of the CO2 separation from biogas. The simulation shows the effect of this approach to the stripper diameter and the energy demand of the process. The calculations form the basis for applying cost models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
