Cleanova recently announced the launch of its new filtration technology designed for carbon capture,
utilization and storage (CCUS) applications. By capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from various sources, CCUS is set to play an important role in achieving global Net Zero emission targets.
To ensure that CO2 is free from both solid and liquid contamination, filtration technology is used to separate the captured gases from each other.
“Filtration technology plays a pivotal role at every stage in the carbon capture process, from the arrival of the feed gas, through chemical absorption to final storage and transportation,” explained Chris Nixon, Engineering and Products Director at Cleanova.
Each filtration solution has to be tailored to specific conditions such as CO2 concentration, the nature of the emission source, the presence of other contaminants, temperature and pressure.
The Cleanova.C-CLEAN technology suite includes UNIQ-MAX High Capacity Filters, which prevent absorb plugging by removing high quantities of suspended particles from feed gases.
This is in addition to liquid/gas coalescers to ensure solvent purity, activated carbon filters to eliminate hydrocarbons and contaminants and oil mist eliminators to ensure clean exhaust air, stated the company.
