‘Carbon Capture for a better tomorrow’ is the slogan under which GEA, the machinery and plant manufacturer and solution provider, will be presenting carbon capture, storage and utilisation (CCS / CCU) technologies at the POWTECH trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, and at the ‘Carbon Capture Technology’ in Bremen, Germany, GEA’s Carbon Capture technologies enable the separation of COâ‚‚ before it is released into the atmosphere. It can then be used to produce valuable COâ‚‚-based products after capture and, if necessary, post-cleaning, or it can be stored in long-term storage facilities.
GEA is a leading global supplier of exhaust gas cleaning solutions and has in-depth knowledge of gas cleaning and heat recovery processes. GEA’s Carbon Capture portfolio now extends our already established range of gas purification and heat recovery equipment to include COâ‚‚ capture technologies and options for COâ‚‚ transport and utilisation. GEA thus offers all customers and interested parties a comprehensive product portfolio.
COâ‚‚ can be captured from gas streams using a variety of methods – either pre or post- combustion capture or oxyfuel processes. GEA focuses on COâ‚‚ capture downstream of combustion because it can be retrofitted to existing plants and the impact on upstream processes is kept to a minimum.
Modern COâ‚‚ capture designs use aqueous amine solutions as solvents, as these have been proven to work reliably and perform well. GEA’s COâ‚‚ capture solution portfolio is therefore based on state-of-the-art amine solution systems and combines them with GEA’s unique scrubber technologies in a highly standardized design concept that enables rapid delivery of an economical COâ‚‚ capture solution.
GEA’s Carbon Capture Solutions portfolio, which includes the amine-based COâ‚‚ capture process and options for COâ‚‚ capture, transport and recovery, expands GEA’s range of established gas purification and heat recovery technologies.
Utilising excess heat from industrial processes and flue gases is the first step towards Carbon Capture & Utilization. The excess heat can be collected by our GEA XECO waste heat recovery systems and transferred to the Carbon Capture unit. For more visit gea.com
