ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM CHE 462 PROJECT 2 – team effort Atmospheric Very Efficient Cleaners Inc (AVEC) TO: CHE 462 WORLD CLASS EXEMPLARY DESIGN ENGINEERS FROM: J.R.Boss, Chair & CEO AVEC Inc DATE: 2/4/19 SUBJECT: DESIGN FOR CO2 REDUCTION FROM ATMOSPHERIC AIR In 1997 an international meeting was held in Kyoto, Japan, 2012 in Doha, Bahrain and lately in Paris (the Paris Accord) to discuss the Global Warming trends and remediation policies to curb carbon dioxide emissions. AVEC Inc wants to join with (avec) the Paris Accord spirit. The climate change in global rising temperatures shifted weather patterns throughout the world. Currently, there have been articles urging the removal of 410ppm carbon dioxide from atmospheric air. As an example, Carbon Engineering Ltd has developed a process for extracting carbon dioxide from air by using an air contactor, pellet reactor, calciner, slaker and CO2 disposal. Estimated removal costs range from $100 to $250/ tonne by company estimators. You will interact with your group but work alone on your section of the project to explore the business venture details to be proposed by AVEC Inc which will reduce the amount of carbon dioxide from atmospheric air. The project objective is to minimize total carbon capture cost per ton (or tonne). Use a money borrowing rate of 6% with an equipment life of 20 years. The team combined effort will assure AVEC Inc of multitude design outcomes for proposal consideration. Your final design report must be on my desk (aka Canvas) by 9:40 AM Monday April 1, 2019. Also, there will be progress reports due on Monday February 11 and on Monday March 18 so as to help assure a strong steady pace of your dedicated participation. $/tonne Year MEMORANDUM Company Name TO: JRBeckman VP Company FROM: Outstanding Senior CHE Student DATE: 1/23/2019 SUBJECT: Project 1 Water Vapor Recovery ( your selection) Project 1 selection was Water Vapor Recovery from Cooling Water Towers. Alternatives explored included: • Purchase stock in Zero Mass Corporation (invention of Professor Friesen) •Mechanical dehumidification (electrical and wind driven) •Move project to Minnesota where nobody cares about water vapor recovery •Become a grader for this course to receive an A grade with no effort To date, become a grader was selected so as to make money and receive an A grade.
