<p>The Technology Centre Mongstad (TCM) is the world’s leading facility for verifying and improving CO<sub>2</sub> capture technologies. TCM is located at Mongstad, one of Norway´s most complex industrial facilities. TCM has been operating since autumn 2012, providing an arena for qualification of CO<sub>2</sub> capture technologies on an industrial scale. In autumn 2017, Gassnova (on behalf of the Norwegian state), Equinor (formerly Statoil), Shell and Total entered into a new ownership agreement securing operations at TCM until 2020. The owners of TCM started their most recent monoethanolamine (MEA) test campaign in June 2017 where a large number of public, industrial, research and academic stakeholders were involved [1]. The campaign included demonstration of a model-based control system, dynamic operation of the amine plant, investigating amine aerosol emissions and specific tests targeted at reducing the cost of CO<sub>2</sub> avoided. Through the testing, both flue gas sources currently available at TCM were used. These sources are the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) based heat and power plant (CHP) and the residual fluidized catalytic cracker (RFCC). They provide flue gases with a wide range of properties and a CO<sub>2</sub> content from 3.6 to 14 %. TCM is located next to the Equinor refinery in Mongstad. The Mongstad refinery is the source of both flue gases supplied to TCM.</p>

<p>Upstream the filter, the RFCC flue gas contains a high number of particles between 10 nm and over 5 µm diameter, and the composition is expected to be similar to the flue gas from a coal power plant without fabric filters. As illustrated in figure 2 the particle size distribution is variable upstream the BD filter. The variation of aerosol size distribution is caused by the fluctuations of the operation parameters of the refinery and mainly by the steam injection in the flue gas upstream of the RFCC DCC. At TCM, the steam injection is necessary in order to keep the temperature and moisture constant in the flue gas. The size distribution of the RFCC flue gas has been checked during several campaigns, before the installation of the BD filter, upstream and downstream the RFCC DCC and downstream of the absorber. The similarity between the measured size distributions suggests that a BD filter may be also applicable at the absorber outlet.</p>

A demister is usually designed to remove liquid particles, but at TCM the demister is operated with catalyst particles and the demister requires periodic cleaning. At 35,000 Sm<sup>3</sup>/h, the mass of catalyst particles captured in the vessel is between 1 and 2.5 kg/day. Dry or accumulated catalyst particles require a disassembling of the demister and a manual cleaning with pressurized water. A cleaning is typically performed after a campaign period of 2 months. The operation parameters of the demister are critical in order to avoid dry areas and accumulation of catalyst. The accumulation of catalyst is likely limited at high water load and flooding conditions in the demister bed.
