Question: What types of options do refiners typically evaluate to reduce carbon dioxide emissions?
Keywords: v1i5,carbon,dioxide,co2,emission,reduction
Answer: There are three basic ways to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere in a refining environment:1. Remove Prior to Emission or "End of the Pipe" options where the carbon dioxide is removed by one of many different separation techniques from the gases emitted. These can include both chemical and/or physical separation techniques.2. A second option involved the reduction of the production of carbon dioxide by integrating processes using pinch analysis tools, waste heat recovery, and other efficiency increasing techniques.3. The third option is to radically change the way the feedstocks are processed or the "alternate route" method. Obviously, this method must prove to be economically competitive with conventional routes to be employed.Reference: Foster Wheeler Company
