Optimization of Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies in Chemical Process Industries

Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The increasing global concern over climate change has prompted the development and implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies as a critical strategy for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This thesis focuses on the optimization of CCS technologies in chemical process industries to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in mitigating carbon dioxide emissions. The research involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on CCS technologies, followed by the development of a research methodology to analyze and optimize these technologies. The study aims to address the challenges and limitations associated with current CCS systems and propose innovative solutions for improving their performance. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and structure of the thesis. The chapter also includes the definition of key terms related to CCS technologies in chemical process industries. Chapter Two consists of a detailed literature review that explores the current state of CCS technologies, including their principles, processes, advantages, and limitations. The review also examines case studies and best practices in implementing CCS systems in chemical process industries, highlighting key factors influencing their optimization. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology employed in this study, including data collection methods, experimental design, and analysis techniques. The chapter describes how the optimization of CCS technologies will be conducted, emphasizing the use of simulation models, computational tools, and experimental testing to evaluate and improve system performance. Chapter Four presents a thorough discussion of the research findings, including the optimization strategies identified for enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of CCS technologies in chemical process industries.
