Abstract
Various conditions under which the hollow fiber membrane separation system would be the optimal selection are investigated in terms of cost effectiveness. Numerical simulation is carried out to examine the effects of different configurations such as single-stage, two-stage and three-stage CO2 separation processes. In particular, the hollow fiber membrane processes for CO2 separation with vacuum pumps, heat exchangers, coolers and compressors to provide pressurized feed streams are analyzed. Operating costs are evaluated and compared numerically for the processes with and without recycle streams to compare feasibility for commercial implementation while maintaining the purity and recovery ratio as high as possible.
