Vorsana CO2 Scrubber

The project goal of the CO2 Scrubber is to demonstrate mechanical separation of the components of flue gas based on weight with the ability to be applied to an industrial scale.

Background
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in flue gas cause many risks for health and environmental concerns. Manufacturers must pay for costly technology that has a high energy and water usage to reduce their current emissions. An effective and low cost way to separate out these harmful compounds is needed for the manufacturing market.

Major Project Goals:

 * Perform fundamental studies on simplified geometry will be conducted to elucidate the minimum g force needed to effectively separate two gases.
 * Run CFD simulations for a model that is similar to Xing JHD 2014.
 * Build and test a simplified model, with variables of disk speed, gap size, temperature, pressure, and type of gas.
 * Test Vorsana's prototype
