SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE IN AN AIR COMPRESSION AND EXPANSION SYSTEM

摘要

A system includes a compression system fluidly coupled to a compartment to compress a first quantity of gas for storage in the compartment, the compression system including a compression path to convey the first quantity of gas; an expansion system fluidly coupled to the compartment to expand a second quantity of gas from the compartment, the expansion system including an expansion path to convey the second quantity of gas; a first path fluidly coupled to the compression path to convey the first quantity of gas to the compartment; a second path fluidly coupled to the expansion path to convey the second quantity of gas from the compartment to the expansion system; and a separation unit fluidly coupled to one of the first path, second path, compression path, and expansion path, wherein the separation unit removes a quantity of carbon dioxide from one of the first and second quantities of gas.
