RESUMO – Biogas can be used as a renewable feedstock for ethylene production via Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM). The aim of this study is the development of an optimal process design for the CO2 removal section of a biogas-based OCM process. For doing so, a rigorous Aspen Plus simulation model is linked to external optimization routines in Matlab aiming at minimizing the Total Annualized Cost for the CO2 removal.
