D12.5 Design of post combustion capture and integrated calcium looping cement plant systems

In this document, the size and capital cost of the equipment to be installed in a Ca-looping plant for CO2 capture in a cement kiln is presented. Sizing and capital cost calculations are carried out for the CaL reactors, heat exchangers, heat recovery steam cycle and other machines of both the tail-end and the integrated EF CaL configurations. Two cases with different integration level (20% and 50%) are considered for the tail-end configuration.
The tail-end CaL configuration results as a higher capital-intensive option, largely due to the presence of a larger steam cycle for heat recovery. The tail-end configuration also results the most suitable for retrofitting existing burning lines.
In the final part of the document, process configurations and heat and mass balances of possible pilot plants for demonstration of the two CaL technologies at TRL 7-8 are discussed.
