Title: Gerhard Schoeny: Innovator in Carbon Capture Technology
Introduction
Gerhard Schoeny is a notable inventor based in Vienna, Austria. He has made significant contributions to the field of carbon capture technology, focusing on processes that enhance the efficiency of capturing carbon dioxide from gas streams. His innovative approach addresses critical environmental challenges related to greenhouse gas emissions.
Latest Patents
Gerhard Schoeny holds a patent for a process designed to capture CO2 from a gas stream. The invention involves contacting the gas stream with solid adsorbent particles within an adsorption zone. This zone features at least two beds of fluidized solid adsorbent particles, which flow downwards from one bed to another. The solid adsorbent particles consist of 15 to 75 weight % of organic amine compounds. The gas stream entering the adsorption zone has a dew point that is at least 5°C below the forward flow temperature of the coolest cooling medium present. The process includes heating the carbon dioxide enriched solid adsorbent particles, followed by regeneration in a desorption zone that also contains at least two beds of fluidized solid adsorbent particles, with steam serving as the stripping gas. The regenerated particles are subsequently cooled and recycled back to the adsorption zone.
