RE:RE:Innovating in a silo
RE:RE:Innovating in a siloSeems these energy terms are not directly comparable, but not uninformative either.
In 2015 CST claimed the best case for amines was 2.2 Gj/tonne but there was a study out then claiming 1.67 was possible, about 9:1 compared to CSTs parasitic load value.
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ie504617w?journalCode=iecred
While Novak is comparing reboiler energy at 1.39 to an MEA value around 13, again a ratio around about 9:1
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/acs.estlett.6b00253
But CST´s data is bench scale tested from EERC where Novak´s is largely theoretical.
And then there´s the unexplained dropping out of the X-prize hunt, objectively a clear win for CST.
And then there´s the RPB factor, Novak´s slow reaction doesn´t sound like it would scale up well.
Hope someone has thoughts on this.
