My Own Designed Amine Carbon Dioxide Scrubber: CONCLUSION

For those who have missed out the prequels, visit the following links: Part 1

Well, to tell you the truth, I was a bit disappointed that no questions (or insults) were posted about my SCRUBBAMINE.

Anyways, let's continue:

To mention the biggest drawback of all, first to mention is that it is expensive, and the set up and control of this process.

The time taken to complete the whole process is quite lengthy. Why? Because the carbon dioxide reacts with monoethanolamine and this is very less in quantity. That means that drops of carbon dioxide is separated within a few minutes.

The other problem is concerned about the temperature regulation, there is a need of a special conditioner to make sure temperatures are at a constant temperature.

Thats all for the disadvantages.

Now, lets move on to its importance.

Think about storing the carbon dioxide formed from fossil fuel combustion being pumped into the underground. The carbon dioxide, under extreme pressure and temperature, breaks down into carbon and oxygen. The carbon can be a valuable fuel in the future, that can be formed within a millennium.
So think about what can we do if we can utilize this scrubber to efficiently separate the carbon dioxide from other bi product gases.

That's all for the SCRUBBAMINE..... and the query segment is still open!

Cheers,
Mahin Roddur.
