- This EPSRC funded research establishes the solvent types and conditions under which intercooling is needed to ensure efficient CO2 capture in rotating packed bed (RPB) absorbers. The results enabled a highly innovative design of RPB with integrated intercooler. This allows a much smaller physical footprint (~12 times reduction) due to the enhanced heat transfer (~15 times reduction in heat transfer resistance) arising from the higher gravity environment compared to conventional intercoolers. This idea was exploited for solvent stripping in a subsequent project funded by BEIS (Advancing RPB Technology for Reduced CO2 Emissions) based at Sheffield University.
