ABSTRACT

Research involving carbon management has received increased attention over

the last decades, due to the threat posed by global warming and increases in the

atmospheric Green House Gas (GHG) emission.Improving energy efficiency, use of

renewable energy and carbon dioxide(CO2) capture and storage are among the

proposed method for carbon management in the industrial sectors.Previous

researchers have used carbon emission pinch analysis (CEPA) techniques to plans for

carbon emission in the industry. But the cost effectiveness of the techniques has not

been verified.This research is aimed at developing a graphical cost-screening

technique for the CO2 emission reduction planning in an industrial site.This method

employs the carbon management hierarchy (CMH) as a tool to guide CO2 emission

reduction planning. It also extends the Systematic Hierarchical Approach for

Resilient Process Screening (SHARPS) graphical cost-screening technique that was

developed for water system to guide and screen design options involving process

changes in order to obtain a cost effective system that meets a given CO2 emission

targets.Application of the SHARPS screening techniques has successfully

achievedthe final cost effective minimum CO2 emission target for a stationary site

with TPPset (Total payback period set by designer) of 2 years, targeting 29.12 tons/hr

of fresh CO2 and 16.74 tons/hr of CO2 emission prior to design. Using the predesign

cost estimate method, the system needs approximately a net capital investment of

USD 556.21 million,to give a net annual savings of USD 333.7 million with a total

payback period of approximately 18 months.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Awareness of rising carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and possible ways to

reduce them has captured the attention of the industrial sector. An increasing number

of environmental, political, and social drivers are placing pressure on industry to

determine the most viable and cost effective measures to limit their impact on

climate change. Power generators are the highest point source emitters of CO2 and

will be among the most affected by future climate change regulations. Other

industries like petroleum refining, cement production and steel manufacturing will

likely need to adapt CO2emission management in future decisions and operation

strategies.

Masjuki et al. (2002) explained emission as a process of energy utilization

especially the emissions trial activities produced a huge effect on the environment

that influences human health, organization growth, and climatic changes. In the near

future, the energy consumption is expected to rise especially in developing countries,

this is as a result of the rapid transformation in the industrial sector in recent times

which consequently lead to massive release of pollutant to the environment causing

harmful effect on environment and human health(Oh, 2010). The major increase in

GHG is attributed largely to CO2 emission as the main gas leading to global warming

and climate changes.

Sabooriet al. (2012) reported that, greater average air and ocean temperatures,

extended melting of snow and ice and rising global average sea level are some

profound proofs of global warming. IPPC(2007) predicted the rise in the global

temperature and sea level of between 1.1o C to 6.4o C, 16.5cm to 53.8cm respectively

by 2100.The amount of world energy demand contributed by fossil fuel is greater

than 80% of the world energy demands are from fossil fuel which gives rise to

increases in CO2 concentration in atmosphere and contribute to global warming. CO2

emission coefficients for various sources and corresponding energy conversion units

are presented in Table 1.1.

conversion units. (Adapted from Bousteet al., 1979;Fluck 1992).

The principal gas leading to increases in GHG is CO2that attributed to the

global warming and climate changes (The World Bank, 2007).The transformation of

the economy from agriculture based to industrial level over the last three decades has

elevated Malaysia to be the highest emitter of CO2 among the South East Asian

countries (Muiset al., 2010). There is a 221% increases in CO2 emission in Malaysia

from 1990 – 2004 (Muiset al., 2010). This has called the attention of Malaysia

government to intensify their effort to reduce the CO2 emission by 40% from 2005

level by2020 subjected to financial aids from developing countries. The pledge was

made in 2009 at the UN conference of parties in Copenhagen, Denmark by the Prime

MinisterDatuki Seri NajibTunRazak.(Malaysia Digest.com 2009).

There have been extensive works on the best approaches to drastically

minimize the amount of CO2emission from industrial process to achieve CO2

emission reduction targets and reduce the impact of CO2 emission on climate

change.The work of (Park et al., 2009) investigated the possibility of reducing CO2

emissions in Korean petroleum refinery through the new energy saving technology

and CO2 mitigation. The work used five new technologies, which are Hybrid SD-

Leap Mode, Crude Oil Distillation Unit (CDU),Light Gas Oil Hydro sulfurization

Unit (LGO HDS), Vacuum Residue Hydro-Desulfurization (VR HDS) Process.

Theenergy consumption and CO2 emission of the nation, particularly from the

industrial sector were estimatedusing the hybrid SD-LEAP model.The model

predicted that, in the year 2030 the new technologies will cause 0.048% CO2

reduction nationally and 0.109% reduction in the industrial sector. (Muniret al.2012)

introduced a holistic CO2 emissions planning framework based on the Pinch

Analysisgraphical approach for CO2 emission reduction. They plotted CO2 source

against CO2 demands, and investigated some process modification options that can

lead to CO2 emission reduction targets for an industrial site.

This study extended the application of SHARPS technique as a cost screening

tool to achieve the cost effective minimum CO2 emission reduction target,

considering all the process modifications guided by CMH. The net capital investment

Page 20: A GRAPHICAL COST SCREEN TECHNIQUE FOR CARBON …eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/40531/5/BusariBolajiIbrahimMFKK2013.pdfgratitude to my dissertation supervisor,Prof. Dr. Zainuddin AbdulManan

6

(USD) will be plotted against the net annual savings (USD/yr). The slope of the plots

represents the payback period for each process modification options.

1.3 Problem Statement

Over the past decades the main concern has focused on “end of pipe”

treatment as an approach for CO2 emission reduction such as CO2 capture and

storage (CCS), CO2 injection in enrich oil recovery (EOR) among others. CO2

emission reduction by process integrationbased on the Pinch Analysis

approachlaterbecomespopular, being a viableinsight-based technology for CO2

emission planning and reduction that is easy to understand and apply. Alongside

development of the insight-based approaches, several works on CO2 emission

planning and minimisation using the mathematical programming approach have

emerged. The mathematical techniques are however typically rigorous, and the

mathematical equations are not easy to set up. This makes them less popular

especially among the industrial practitioners. In this work the SHARPS technique

has been extended as a costing tool to design a system to achieve the cost effective

minimum CO2 emission. The total payback period will be obtained by plotting net

capital investment (USD) against the net annual savings (USD/yr) covering all levels

of the carbon management hierarchy (CMH), SHARPS allow the total payback

period to be evaluated subject to the desired payback period set by a designer. The

problem statement can then be summarized as;

Given a process plant with several sources of CO2 emission, it is desired to

design a system to achieve the cost effective minimum CO2 emissions for an

industrial plant using the extended Systematic Hierarchical Approach for Resilient

Process Screening (SHARPS) technique. SHARPS will be used to screen cost-

effective process modification options that will be explored using carbon

management hierarchy as a guide subject to a desired payback period set by a

designer.

1.4 Objective of Study

The objective of this research work is to extend the application SHARPS

graphical cost-screening tool that was developed for water system, and adopt it as a

cost-screening tool to achieve a cost effective minimum CO2 network design guided

by CMH in the process changes.

1.5 Scope of Study

At the end of the study, a graphical cost-screen technique for carbon

management will be developed by extending the SHARPS graphical cost-screen tool

that was developed for water system. Tasks to be accomplished for achievement of

study objectives include:

• Data collection which includes flow rate and concentrations of sources of gas

streams containing CO2, then flow rates and concentrations of CO2 demand

streams.

• Extend the application of SHARPS graphical cost-screening tool for carbon

emission planning. It can be achieved by plotting the net capital investment

(USD) against the net annual saving covering all CMH. The gradient of the

plot represent the payback period for process changes. The steepest positive

gradient shows the most expensive scheme per unit CO2 emission reduction.

The total payback period will also be obtained by draw a straight line

connecting the starting point and end at the end point of the IAS plot.

• The case study application of the graphical cost effective minimum CO2

emission network design is still using the same case study of previous work

of (Muniret al. 2012).

1.6 Significant of study

The main contribution of this study is toextend the application of SHARPS

graphical cost-screen tool used in water management system and adopt it to achieve a

graphical cost effective minimum CO2 emission network design for an industrial site.
