Approach:Test an amine-ionic liquid (IL) based solvent scrubbing system to verifya ~60% reduction in energy penalty compared to conventional processes• Water is replaced with IL

• Compared to MEA – ~60% energy reduction – No stripping steam required– Higher loading capacities– Less corrosion– Smaller equipment
