The objectives of this project are to develop a cost-effective design and fabrication process for a novel transformational membrane and its membrane modules that capture CO2 from flue gas. Optimization of the novel transformational membrane, scale-up of the membrane to a prototype size of about 20" wide in continuous roll-to-roll fabrication, and construction and testing of a skid for the integrated membrane process will be performed. For the design of this membrane, we use a cost-effective polymer support and coat a thin top layer of the membrane. The simplicity of this membrane design offers a low cost for the membrane element in commercial spiral-wound (SW) configuration (<$2.00/ft2 or $21.5/m2). The prototype membrane will be used to fabricate 6 pilot-size membrane modules (each about 20" length, 3 modules each at the commercial-size diameter of 8 inches with 35 m2 membrane area for Stage 1 and 3 modules each at 5-inch diameter with 12 m2 membrane area for Stage 2) for testing with simulated flue gas at OSU and with actual flue gas at the National Carbon Capture Center, Wilsonville, AL using the skid to capture the CO2 (at 60 – 90%) with at least 95% CO2 purity. The prototype membrane modules will be in commercial SW configuration with a minimal pressure drop (<0.103 bar/meter (1.5 psi/meter)). These objectives have been achieved successfully.
