CARBON DIOXIDE CAPTURE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CAPTURING CARBON DIOXIDE

Abstract:

A carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) capture system and method for removing CO.sub.2 from an inlet gas including a first fluid stream inlet providing for the flow of a first fluid stream, such as an inlet gas containing CO.sub.2, and a second fluid stream inlet providing for the flow of a second fluid stream, such as steam, an outlet providing for the flow of a CO.sub.2 depleted stream from the CO.sub.2 capture system, an outlet providing for the flow of a CO.sub.2 stream from the CO.sub.2 capture system and a concentrator in fluid communication with the first fluid stream. The system further including a first contactor and a second contactor. Each of the first contactor and the second contactor defining therein a first fluidically-isolated, sorbent-integrated, fluid domain for flow of the first fluid stream and CO.sub.2 adsorption and a second fluidically-isolated fluid domain for flow of the second fluid stream to assist in desorption.
