Abstract

The imperative of energy security, sustainability, and independence necessitates the continued use of coal for electricity generation. However, to mitigate rising CO2 levels, developing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies is crucial. This study explores various approaches to optimize CO2 capture using chemical solvents, focusing on reducing the energy demands of solvent regeneration. Our analysis reveals that the current cost of CO2 capture stands at approximately #55,000.000 (Naira) per ton of CO2 , with a target to reduce it to below #25,000.000,00 (Naira) per ton of CO2 . We evaluate the technical and economic performance of different approaches, calculating the specific cost per ton of CO2  captured. Our results show that:- Current Cost: #55,000.000,00 (Naira) per ton of CO2 - Target Cost: Below #25,000.000,00 (Naira) per ton of CO2 - Efficiency Reduction: Minor efficiency reductions observed in some proposed schemes

Abstract

Revolutionizing Lng Plant Construction and its Comprehensive Comparative Analysis And Evaluation Of Modular Design Development Versus Stick-Built Approach For Enhanced Efficiency And Cost-Effectiveness,.Although the utilization of modularization concepts in the LNG industry remains limited, this study focuses on exploring their potential. It is worth noting that modular units typically incur higher costs compared to field erected units due to the additional requirements of structural steel and robustness for transportation purposes.Nevertheless, the increased cost of modularization can often be balanced by conducting the work at the fabrication site instead of on-field construction. This approach reduces the overall project cost by minimizing field construction expenses and shortening the construction schedule. The objective of this paper is to assess and compare LNG modularization options for a newly established LNG facility in comparison to a conventional stick-built plant used as the base case.:The paper delves into various topics related to LNG plant construction, such as the development of modular units, a comprehensive comparison of different options, evaluation of construction schedules and manpower requirements, logistics considerations, and a recommended approach for design and construction. The cost estimates and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) schedules are meticulously compared for each option. Additionally, an inshore/near shore gravity base structure (GBS) option is included for further comparison. It is crucial to emphasize that establishing general costs is not possible as each project is distinct andrequires individual study and analysis.:Each project has unique characteristics, resulting in varying shapes of cost curves and break-even points. The outcomes of the feasibility evaluation play a crucial role in determining the extent to which the modular approach to construction is advantageous for the specific project at hand. The evaluation takes into consideration multiple factors to determine the potential benefits of adopting a modular construction approach, allowing decision-makers to make informed choices regarding the project's construction methodology

Abstract

This research explores the potential of dynamic mathematical model simulation for multi-compartment rotor compressed combustion engines to revolutionize power generation by enhancing fuel burning efficiency. By leveraging advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, this study investigates the impact of modifying the engine design to induce turbulence through squish and tumble flows on fuel-air mixing and combustion efficiency. The proposed design features multiple compartments on the rotor crown, comprising three small chambers spaced 120º apart. CFD simulations using FLUENT software demonstrate significant improvements in tumble ratio (35% increase) and squish velocity (31% increase) compared to the base engine. These findings suggest that the modified engine design can enhance fuel-air mixing and combustion performance, leading to improved overall engine efficiency. This research contributes to the development of more efficient and environmentally-friendly power generation technologies, paving the way for groundbreaking advancements in combustion engine design.
