Abstract:
An overview into the development of a carbon dioxide (CO2) removal plant for submarines to meet the Navy's CO2 requirements is presented.The monoethanolamine (MEA)-CO2 removal process and parametric studies to reduce atmospheric CO2-levels in submarines to 0.5% and possibly 0.2% are discussed.
