Elvira Huizeling, responsible for Special Projects in the Capture team of the ROAD project, lead a Global CCS Institute webinar on the ROAD CO2 Capture Plant FEED Study report. ROAD stands for ‘Rotterdam Opslag en Afvang Demonstratieproject’ (Rotterdam Capture and Storage Demonstration Project) and is one of the largest integrated demonstration projects in the world for the capture and storage of CO2. ROAD had just completed the front-end engineering design (FEED) study for the capture plant as performed by Fluor. The main results from the FEED study were presented in this webinar, including topics such as technology selection, process flow diagrams, heat and mass balances, layout designs, cooling studies, capital and O&M cost estimates and project schedules. A recording of the webinar can be seen at http://www.globalccsinstitute.com/community/events/2011/10/27/webinar-road-project-co2-capture-plant-feed-study

Page 5

6. Objectives ROAD
• Demonstrate feasibility (technical, economic) of large-scale, integrated
CCS chain
• Capture and storage of ca. 1.1 Mton CO2 per year in (nearly) depleted gas
reservoirs in period of 2015 – 2020
• Acquire knowledge and experience with deployment of large-scale,
integrated CCS chain:
• Technical
• Legal
• Economic
• Organizational
• Social

14. Boundary of this work
• In this report you can find a short inventarisation on all topics relevant
for taking a Final Investment Decision, based on GCCSI know-how
• Work reported here is about Capture Front End Engineering and Design
(FEED), not about complete project
• Integration with power plant is included

28. 5. CO2 Stream and compressor
Page 28

29. CO2 stream specification
• The boundaries of the CO2 specification have been defined
• Purity of CO2 99.9%
• From all elements produced in post combustion capture plant only H2O
and O2 are of any relevance.
• Details like the trip values still have to be determined (at which amount
of for example H2O and O2 the plant must be stopped?)
• Most important is the temperature and pressure of the stream to
determine the phase of the stream

30. Compressor will operate in supercritical area
Assumed operating conditions
for ROAD:
Pressure max 129 bar (a)
T between 40 and 80 °C
