Abstract

In order to overcome the difficulty of online measuring the main components in the process of capturing CO2 from the flue gas of a power plant based on absorption method, a soft-sensing system was designed for the process of recovering CO2 by MEA chemical absorption. Based on the principle of improved Powell robust support vector machine (IP-RSVM), the soft measurement of ionic species distribution in the absorption solution was carried out by using infrared sensors, and the results agreed well with the data obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurement. The mean square error was 3.1692 × 10-7, the maximum value of absolute error was 0.0010, and the maximum value of relative error was 3.54%. It showed that the infrared soft measurement based on IP-RSVM could be used in the soft-sensing system of capturing CO2 effectively.
