Power plants that use fossil fuels as well as the waste incineration, steel, aluminum, glass, fertilizer and cement industries, have one thing in common: they are all classified as highly CO₂ emitting industries. Carbon dioxide (CO₂), one of several greenhouse gases, absorbs and re-radiates infrared radiation (radiant heat) emitted from the Earth's surface, contributing to the greenhouse effect. While CO₂, methane, and water vapor are the most common greenhouse gases, near-surface ozone and fluorinated gases also trap infrared radiation. Once released, greenhouse gases can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Capturing CO₂ before it enters the atmosphere and then using or storing it is a viable option and critical to minimizing the greenhouse effect. GEA's emission reduction technologies meet all the necessary requirements for the use of CO₂ scrubbing, a process to capture carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas. However, before this is possible, the exhaust gas must be cleaned. For the CO₂ capture system to perform efficiently (for example, through amine scrubbing) and to ensure that the absorption medium continues to function, CO₂ capture systems require clean flue gases.
The first step is pre-treatment and fine dust separation. Here GEA offers various solutions to remove pollutants, including sulfur and nitrogen oxides. Once the exhaust gas is clean, CO₂ capture can begin. To ensure that the process does not interfere with production, GEA recommends downstream processes for CO₂ separation.
GEA recommends to first evaluate stable, predictable, and compatible recovery pathways for the captured CO₂ before for the manufacturers select a capture process and its associated equipment. GEA offers small and medium-sized CO₂ capture plants with great flexibility, allowing customers to capture CO₂ with varying degrees of purity from very diverse exhaust gas compositions; this includes solutions that utilize carbonates, amines or ammonia.
CO₂ captured from industrial processes - or extracted from the atmosphere - can be used in place of carbon from fossil sources. Captured CO₂ is already being used for many applications and industries, some examples include:
To meet the urgent need to reduce emissions worldwide, GEA has gathered a team of experts to bring forward the development of CO₂ reduction in highly emitting industries. With a focus particularly on:
