UPDATE ON AQUEOUS AMMONIA BASED POST COMBUSTION CAPTURE PILOT PLANT AT MUNMORAH

CSIRO and Delta Electricity have jointly constructed an A$5 million research scale Post Combustion Capture (PCC) pilot plant at the Munmorah black coal fired power station. The results from the pilot plant trials will be used to assess the potential of using aqueous ammonia solution to capture CO2 and other acid components such as SOx and NOx from coal fired power plants under Australian conditions. This paper reports and discusses the experimental results obtained from the pilot plant trials.
