Abstract
Disclosed herein is a gas capture system comprising: a first reactor system arranged so that, in the first reactor system, at least some gas in a gas stream that is received by the gas capture system is captured by a sorbent that is arranged to flow through the first reactor system; a second reactor system arranged to regenerate the sorbent so that the sorbent releases at least some of the gas captured in the first reactor system, wherein the sorbent is arranged to flow through the second reactor system and the second reactor system is arranged to output a flow of the released gas; a first sorbent transfer system arranged between a sorbent outlet of the first reactor system and a sorbent inlet of the second reactor system, wherein the first sorbent transfer system comprises a lock hopper; and a second sorbent transfer system arranged between a sorbent outlet of the second reactor system and a sorbent inlet of the first reactor system, wherein the second sorbent transfer system comprises a lock hopper; wherein: the sorbent is a solid; the second reactor system comprises a pump arranged so that the second reactor system may have a lower operational pressure when regenerating sorbent than the operational pressure of the first reactor system during gas capture by the sorbent; and the first reactor system, first sorbent transfer system, second reactor system and second sorbent transfer system are all arranged so that they provide a sorbent flow path that recirculates the sorbent between the first reactor system and the second reactor system.
