In a first optimization run the start-up time is minimized. In a second optimization run the overall carbon capture rate during the start-up process is maximized. The results show the great potential of the optimization, as the start-up time can be reduced from Dt = 4650s in the reference case to Dt = 2840s in the optimized scenario.enhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/OptimizationStart-upAbsorption ProcessCarbon CaptureProcess EngineeringIngenieurwissenschaftenConference Paper10.15480/882.265510.3384/ecp1713212110.15480/882.2655Conference Paper
