generation. Companies can retrofit existing plants to gain a competitive edge while minimising their environmental impact and futureproofing their activities to meet governmental net-zero carbon emission targets. In particular, Sulzer Chemtech has developed a mass transfer solution to address the specific challenges of carbon sequestration applications. The company’s MellapakCC structured packing enables a 20% reduction of the specific energy required to capture CO 2 compared to conventional mass transfer components. Alternatively, it delivers at least the same performance of traditional systems while offering a 20% smaller footprint. As a result, it can help businesses maximise the return on investment in decarbonisation technologies while offering a lower environmental impact. By leveraging the experience gained from developing processing solutions for numerous pioneering carbon capture projects, Sulzer Chemtech has been developing customised technologies for carbon capture for storage, direct utilisation and direct chemical conversion applications. This means that newly developed facilities will benefit from Sulzer Chemtech’s long- standing history in the field of carbon capture, superior efficiency, performance and reliability.
Carbon Capture Solutions
Forward-looking businesses in the oil and gas sector can realise net-zero strategies and capitalise on innovative decarbonisation technologies by retrofitting their existing facilities. Sulzer Chemtech, the leader in separation and mixing technology, can support this transition with a comprehensive portfolio of advanced equipment and solutions. The right separation equipment is crucial to implementing energy-efficient carbon capture systems. The most common method, which uses an amine scrubbing treatment, relies on gas-liquid extraction to chemically absorb carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from flue gases onto amine-based solvents. Subsequently, separation is conducted to reverse the absorption reaction (desorption), allowing the CO 2 to be concentrated for storage or utilisation, while the lean amine solvent is recycled for reuse. With over 75 years of experience in developing innovative separation processes, Sulzer Chemtech has a proven track record of designing and manufacturing technologies to support businesses in the gas sector. These include globally installed, advanced carbon capture solutions linked to conventional industrial operations, such as power Realise carbon-to-value strategies with Sulzer Chemtech processing technologies
