An Automated CO2 Capture Pilot Plant at ULi�ge: A Platform for the Validation of Process Models and Advanced Control

The deployment of CO2 capture technologies at a large scale will largely benefit from the knowledge acquired during pilot testing. A mobile CO2 capture pilot unit is currently being designed at the University of Li�ge. Here, the pilot plant is introduced, and the column sizing results are presented. The sizing was performed with a process model built in Aspen Plus. Overall, the pilot installation is expected to serve for process model validation, data collection and technology de-risking while assisting Belgian industries in their transition towards carbon neutrality.
