Imagine replacing a giant, skyscraper-sized filter for CO2 with a spinning drum that does the same job in a fraction of the space. By spinning the liquid that catches the gas, the process becomes much faster and more efficient. This allows factories to scrub their exhaust without needing massive amounts of land or expensive construction.
Conventional carbon capture plants are too large and expensive to build, requiring massive footprints and high energy for solvent regeneration.
A modular 10 t/d CO2 capture plant featuring a Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) absorber and an advanced RPB desorber with an integrated spinning reboiler.
If you are a power plant operator dealing with high carbon taxes and limited space — this project developed a modular RPB plant that reduces the space footprint by 10 times. This allows for a 10 t/d capture capacity without massive infrastructure overhauls.
If you are a lime producer dealing with heavy industrial emissions — this project developed a modular capture system that can be installed on-site. It targets a 50% reduction in capture costs compared to standard technologies.
If you are a refinery operator dealing with flue gases containing sulphur and nitrogen oxides — this project developed a system using APBS-CDRMax solvent that minimizes corrosion and emissions. It achieves a regeneration energy of 2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO2.
The advanced capture plant is designed to allow up to 50% capture cost reduction compared to conventional MEA-based, packed-bed technologies.
The project is demonstrating a modular CO2 capture plant with a capacity of 10 t/d CO2 capture.
The plant operates with the commercial APBS-CDRMax solvent, which is owned by Carbon Clean.
It offers a 10 times lower space footprint compared to conventional packed beds, making it highly modular and flexible for different industrial sites.
The system achieves a regeneration energy of 2.0-2.1 GJ/tCO2 through the use of the RPB-ISR and specific solvent.
The consortium is heavily industry-weighted, with 7 industrial partners (50% of the total 14 partners) across 6 countries. This high ratio of industrial involvement, including direct participation from power plants and refineries, suggests a strong focus on commercial viability and real-world deployment rather than pure academic research.
