CO2 Capture by Reactive Absorption-Stripping

Claudio Madeddu, PhD in Industrial Engineering, works in the field of reactive absorption-stripping system modelling, with a particular focus on CO2 post-combustion capture. During his PhD he developed skills in process modelling in the Aspen Plus environment and for absorption-stripping plant configurations. Massimiliano Errico, Associate Professor at the Department of Chemical, Biotechnology and Environmental Engineering of Southern Denmark University, has considerable expertise in the process synthesis of separation processes. He has helped to define systematic methodologies to predict, in a complete way, process alternatives for multicomponent separations. He has also applied his methodologies to the separation of biofuels where azeotropic mixtures play an important role. Roberto Baratti, Full Professor at the Mechanical, Chemical and Material Engineering Department of the University of Cagliari, has acquired expertise spanning various fields of Chemical Engineering: unit operations, chemical reaction engineering, transport phenomena, optimization, and stochastic and process control. His work in the field of process control is mainly devoted to the development of software sensors, either structured (EKF and GO) or not structured (Artificial Neural Networks); to model reduction for control purposes and monitoring; and to the control of distillation columns, crystallization and chemical reactors. In turn, his work in the field of process modelling is mainly devoted to developing chemical, biochemical reactor, crystallization, distillation/adsorption column models, and stochastic modelling.
