The „measurement‟ part of the project is directed at the use of practical instrument readings to inform active control processes for post-combustion capture at power plants. Here an immediate challenge is to identify and work within the limits of measurements that can be undertaken on a routine basis at an acceptable cost. For this research activity the scope for cooperation with the Doosan Babcock/SSE CCPilot100+ project is invaluable, to give actual evidence of what can be expected from plant measurements on this new type of equipment with real sensors facing actual operating conditions and also to indicate its relationship to actual performance. This work is also of immediate industrial interest for its possible contribution to the operation of the CCPilot100+ project itself.
