MEMBRANE TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH, INC.
Membrane Technology and Research (MTR) and partners will demonstrate a membrane process to separate carbon dioxide (CO2) from industrial- and utility-scale processes including power plant boilers and refinery operations. MTR will design, construct and test a membrane skid that captures 90 percent of the CO2 (20 tons CO2/day) from a 1 megawatt (MWe) equivalent slipstream of flue gas at a coal-fired power plant. A six-month field test using the test skid will be conducted to validate membrane performance. This project will provide sufficient performance data to allow a thorough technical and economic evaluation of the membrane capture process and will verify the potential of the approach compared to other means of carbon capture.
The current project builds on a test of the technology at 1/20th the scale (0.05 MWe/day), which began in April 2010. Successful completion of this program will signify readiness to proceed to the next step -- testing a larger 10-25 MWe system that includes CO2 liquefaction.

| Quarterly Activities/Project Description |
During the tenth quarter of project work, the 1 ton/day CO2 capture system at National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) continued to operate. The new liquid ring compressor provided reliable performance during the operation. MTR completed the engineering design of the 20 ton/day testing system. System fabrication has started. The estimated delivery time to the test site is Feb 2014. MTR continued to work on membrane improvement. The new membranes will be tested on the 1 ton/day system. B&W completed the site preparation for the boiler test with CO2-laden combustion air. The test will be conducted in the next quarter.
