What is ISO 27919-2 about?
ISO 27919 is about carbon dioxide capture. ISO 27919-2 is the second part of the multi-series on carbon dioxide capture. Post-combustion capture (PCC) lets you capture CO2 during production and ensure compliance with emissions thresholds. ISO 27919-2 provides definitions, guidelines and supporting information for evaluating and reporting to ensure the performance of a PCC plant integrated with a host power plant.
The PCC plant separates CO2 from the power plant flue gas in preparation for subsequent transportation and geological storage. The physical system being addressed is a single power plant, with an optional auxiliary unit to provide thermal energy required for the PCC plant and a single PCC plant.
Note: ISO 27919-2 does not provide guidelines for benchmark, comparison or assessment studies for PCC plant operations using different capture technologies (i.e., absorbents), nor does it specify appropriate operating conditions such as temperature etc.
Who is ISO 27919-2 for?
ISO 27919-2 on carbon dioxide capture is useful for:
- Manufacturing units
- Power plants
- Environment scientists
- Quality control personnel
- Health and safety authorities
Why should you use ISO 27919-2?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions must be reduced to meet climate change mitigation targets. Including carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) in current emission reduction approaches increases the probability of meeting these targets at the lowest cost to the global economy.
ISO 27919-2 describes a procedure that combines technology item evaluation procedure with reliability, availability, and in some cases maintainability evaluation methods. ISO 27919-2 focuses on critical items and parameters in terms of the impact of reliability/availability/maintainability.
ISO 27919-2 provides formulas and methods to assure and maintain reliable performance and describe issues addressed during the design and construction phases and practices that document reliability and availability during routine operation. These practices guide ongoing maintenance programmes. ISO 27919-2 lets you remain environmentally sustainable while running your business.
