The evaporation of water from an aqueous solution is widely used in the food, desalination, pulp, and chemical industries. Usually, a large amount of energy is consumed in the evaporation process to boil off water due to atmospheric pressure. As a way of improving the energy efficiency of the evaporation process, the combination of multiple effect evaporation and thermal vapor recompression has been proposed and has become a successful technique. In this study, 4 multiple-effect falling film type evaporators for sugar solution are designed and the energy efficiency of the system is analyzed in response to the selection of the steam ejector position. Energy efficiency is increased and vapor is more compressed in the steam ejector as the Thermal Vapor Recompression (TVR) is arranged in the rear part of the evaporator system. A simplified 0-dimensional evaporator model is developed using non-linear equations derived from mass balances, energy balances, and heat transfer equations. Steam economy is calculated to compare the evaporation performance of the 4 proposed evaporators. The entrainment ratio, compression ratio, and expansion ratio are computed to check the ejector performance.

기계적 증기재압축(Mechanical Vapor Recompression) 시스템은 증기를 압축하여 압력을 올리면 온도가 상승하는 원리를 이용한 것으로서 시스템의 최종 증발관에서 발생한 저온의 증발증기를 전량 증기압축기로 압축ㆍ승온하여 자신의 최초 증발관의 가열 열원으로 재사용 하는 방식이다. 따라서 이 사이클에 필요한 보충열원은 가열측과 증발측과의 온도상승분 만큼만 증기의 포화온도를 올리면 되므로 에너지절약 효과가 매우 크다.(중략)

기후변화의 가장 큰 원인 중 하나로 지목되는 이산화탄소의 배출량을 절감하기 위해 제안된 Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) 전체공정의 에너지 및 비용저감이 시급한 현 시점에서 효율적인 연계공정의 도출이 중요하며 본 연구에서는 연소 후 습식아민 공정을 이용한 포집공정과 압축공정의 간의 연계를 통해 에너지를 저감할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 기기적 증기 재압축 시스템 을 적용하여 압축기에 사용되는 전기에너지를 열에너지의 형태로 변환함으로써 포집공정에 필요한 리보일러의 에너지 사용량을 감소시키는 방법이다. 본 공정개선안은 압축기에 필요한 추가적인 투자비용 및 전기에너지를 고려하더라도 고압의 이산화탄소를 생산함과 동시에 전체적인 에너지 사용량을 절감시키는 장점이 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 실제 Test Bed의 운전 결과를 통한 모델을 활용함으로써 보다 신뢰성 있는 절감 효과를 제안하고자 한다.

This study applied upgrades to the processes of a 10 MW wet amine $CO_2$ capture pilot plant and conducted performance evaluation. The 10 MW $CO_2$ Capture Pilot Plant is a facility that applies 1/50 of the combustion flue gas produced from a 500 MW coal-fired power plant, and is capable of capturing up to 200 tons of $CO_2$. This study aimed to quantitatively measure efficiency improvements of post-combustion $CO_2$ capture facilities resulting from process upgrades to propose reliable data for the first time in Korea. The key components of the process upgrades involve absorber intercooling, lean/rich amine exchanger efficiency improvements, reboiler steam TVR (Thermal Vapor Recompression), and lean amine MVR (Mechanical Vapor Recompression). The components were sequentially applied to test the energy reduction effect of each component. In addition, the performance evaluation was conducted with the absorber $CO_2$ removal efficiency maintained at the performance evaluation standard value proposed by the IEA-GHG ($CO_2$ removal rate: 90%). The absorbent used in the study was the highly efficient KoSol-5 that was developed by KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation). From the performance evaluation results, it was found that the steam consumption (regeneration energy) for the regeneration of the absorbent decreased by $0.38GJ/tonCO_2$ after applying the process upgrades: from $2.93GJ/ton\;CO_2$ to $2.55GJ/tonCO_2$. This study confirmed the excellent performance of the post-combustion wet $CO_2$ capture process developed by KEPCO Research Institute (KEPRI) within KEPCO, and the process upgrades validated in this study are expected to substantially reduce $CO_2$ capture costs when applied in demonstration $CO_2$ capture plants.

In this paper, cold heat price contained in the 1 ton/h of LNG has been evaluated using PRO/II with PROVISION release 10.2 from Aveva company when LNG is used to liquefy several refrigerants instead of using vapor recompression refrigeration cycle. Normal butane, R134a, NH3, R22, propane and propylene refrigerants were selected for the modeling of refrigeration cycle. It was concluded that LNG cold heat price was inversely proportional to the refrigerant supply temperature, even though LNG supply flow rate is not varied according to the refrigerant supply temperature.
