1. A system for collecting carbon dioxide in flue gas, comprising:

  • a stack that has an entrance and an exit of the flue gas, the exit being arranged at a top of the stack, and the entrance being arranged at a lower portion of the stack and, connected to an industrial facility through a stack flue for taking in the flue gas to be discharged to outside from the exit;

    a carbon-dioxide collecting device that is connected to the lower portion of the stack through a flue gas passage and collects carbon dioxide in the flue gas;

    a blower that is installed in the flue gas passage between the stack and the carbon-dioxide collecting device to draw in the flue gas to the carbon-dioxide collecting device;

    a plurality of sensors configured to measure gas concentration, the gas concentration being one of oxygen concentration of the flue gas and carbon dioxide concentration of the flue gas, one of the plurality of sensors being arranged in the stack flue and another one of the plurality of sensors being arranged in the flue gas passage between the stack and the blower; and

    a controller connected to the blower and the plurality of sensors, the controller receiving signals corresponding to the gas concentration from the plurality of sensors, whereinthe controller is configured to control the blower to increase a drawing amount of the flue gas to the carbon-dioxide collecting device until a difference between measured values of the one of the plurality of sensors and the another one of the plurality of sensors in the gas concentration is generated due to atmosphere flowing into the stack from the exit of the flue gas, andthe controller is configured to stop drawing in any more than the amount immediately before the difference between the measured values of the one of the plurality of sensors and another one of the plurality of sensors in the gas concentration is generated, and to control the blower to draw in the flue gas by a substantially constant amount.
