Demonstrating Emission Reduction – Results from the Post-combustion Capture Pilot Plant at Niederaussem

As a part of their joint development programme, BASF, Linde and RWE Power have tested BASF's innovative, amine-based capture technology OASE® blue for more than 24,000 operating hours at the post-combustion capture pilot plant at Niederaussem. This paper summarises the achievements of the testing programme and the operational experience regarding emission formation and different emission reduction measures under real power plant operating conditions.
