Woodside Monash Energy Partnership: A Digital Twin for Direct CO2 Capture from the Air (2022-23)
A Digital Twin for Direct CO2 Capture from the Air (2022-23)
We are currently engaged in developing a technology to capture carbon dioxide from the air and enrich it. To help with the development and operation of the prototype, we wish to construct a computational model and software interface for this unit. The model should be powerful and flexible and allow us to mimic the actual operation of the unit. We will use the model to test variations of the design and to troubleshoot the operation and explore the influence of input variables.
