This article describes a new plant that will recover 1,120 tons/day of CO/sub 2/ for use in an enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project in West Texas. Feed for the plant is flue gas from an adjacent electrical power generating station. Product CO/sub 2/ is pipelined from the recovery plant in a supercritical state at about 2,000 psig. The pilot plant demonstrated the ability of Dow Chemical's Gas Spec amine solvent to recover CO/sub 2/ from industrial flue gas, and confirmed that Procon/Dow's improved solvent adsorption system is effective in reducing the energy requirements.
