Abstract

Absorption-based carbon capture (ACC) is the most mature technology for abating CO2 among different post-combustion carbon capture technologies. ACC is, however, energy-intensive and requires large heating and cooling utility consumption, resulting in high operational costs. Reliable and fast estimation of these utility consumptions would be valuable for technical and financial feasibility assessment of different ACC process designs. The objective of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) based approach that predicts these utility consumptions of different ACC process designs. For prediction of specific reboiler duty, which is the most important energy consumption of the plant and the main source of operational costs in the ACC process, the error of the AI models is between 0.4% and 3.6% for different scenarios of utilizing either limited or extensive training data. Moreover, the contribution of each process parameter to energy consumption was identified using explainable artificial intelligence. The findings of this study facilitate the energy-efficient design of ACC plants and provide a prioritized list of parameters to adjust for reducing the energy consumption of an ACC process.
