Aramco has signed a collaboration agreement with Carbon Clean and Samsung E&A to demonstrate a new carbon capture technology designed to deploy Carbon Clean’s novel CycloneCC technology that can capture CO2 from natural gas turbine exhausts containing approximately 4% CO2.
The modular CycloneCC unit has a 50% smaller footprint compared to conventional carbon capture processes. If successful, the technology is estimated to reduce the total installed cost of capture systems by up to 50% compared to conventional systems, while maintaining high performance and process efficiency even at low CO2 concentrations. CycloneCC’s performance – even at low CO2 concentrations – is achieved through the combination of two process intensification technologies, namely rotating packed beds (RPBs) and Carbon Clean’s proprietary APBS-CDRMax solvent.
Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “This first-of-a-kind deployment capturing very low concentrations of CO2 is a key milestone in scaling up and commercialising CycloneCC. Its compact, modular design should be easily integrated with gas turbines, delivering high performance carbon capture in an industrial setting where space is typically limited.”
Samsung E&A will deliver the engineering, procurement and construction of the plant. The unit will be installed on the turbine exhaust gas stack, to provide critical data on performance under real-world conditions.
