ION - Model MLA -Multi-Liquid-Analyzer
ION’s patent-pending, groundbreaking Multicomponent-Liquid Analyzer™ (MLA) is a device that is capable of evaluating, in near real time, concentrations of multiple components in a liquid composition. The practical application of the MLA in a capture facility allows ION to monitor and evaluate the composition of the solvent used in the capture process without system down time.
Production
Fuel for the power plant is burned in the boiler. Steam from the fuel drives the turbines that power the facility. CO2 is emitted during the production process and released into the environment if there is no carbon capture process in place.
Absorption
Flue gas rich with CO2 is directed into an absorption tower. ION’s Advanced Liquid Absorbent contacts the CO2-heavy flue gas and absorbs the CO2. Flue gas, now free of CO2, is returned to the stack and safely and cleanly released into the atmosphere.
Regeneration
The ION absorbent, now loaded with CO2 (“rich solvent”) is directed to the regeneration section of the process. The Liquid Absorbent is then heated, which strips our the CO2. The captured CO2 is then sent to be compressed and transported for utilization in a variety of industries or for permanent sequestration.
