METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING AND UTILIZING ENERGY GENERATED IN A FLUE GAS STREAM PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

A system and process for utilizing energy generated within a flue gas processing system (100). The process includes subjecting a carbon dioxide loaded solution (142) to pressure in a regeneration system (136), thereby removing carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide loaded solution (142) and generating a high pressure carbon dioxide stream (138). At least a portion of the high pressure carbon dioxide stream (138) is introduced to an expansion turbine (160), thereby generating energy (164). The energy (164) is utilized to generate power (168).
