Waste gases for enhanced oil recovery
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5636914
This report is one of several that present results obtained by Argonne National Laboratory's program Systems Analysis for Waste CO/sub 2/ Utilization. That program is conducting research on a new method for recovering carbon dioxide (CO/sub 2/), now discarded from smokestacks as a waste. Carbon dioxide is being used in increasing quantity for enhanced oil recovery. In the future, CO/sub 2/ may also be used as the fluid in coal slurry pipelines. The method of CO/sub 2/ recovery that ANL is investigating would also avoid the emission of oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, believed to be precursors to acid rain, and other pollutants. This report reviews the technologies for CO/sub 2/ recovery that were commercially available in June 1984, and discusses their suitability for application to flue gas. Related economic and institutional issues are addressed, as is the likelihood of technical improvements.
