How CO₂ Recovery Plant Works

The CO₂ recovery process typically involves several key stages to ensure the effective capture, purification, and reuse of CO₂:

1. CO₂ Capture

• Source Identification: CO₂ is captured from industrial processes like fermentation, combustion (e.g., from power plants), and chemical manufacturing.

• Capture Techniques: Using advanced gas separation technologies such as amine scrubbing, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), or membrane separation, CO₂ is extracted from the flue gas or exhaust gases.

2. CO₂ Purification

• Filtration: The raw CO₂ undergoes filtration to remove impurities, dust, and particulate matter.

• Purification System: Depending on the application (industrial, food, or medical), the CO₂ is purified using processes like distillation, pressure swing adsorption (PSA), or cryogenic separation to achieve the desired purity levels (99% or higher).

• Dehydration: To remove any moisture, the purified CO₂ is passed through desiccant dryers or chilled to ensure dryness for sensitive applications such as medical or food-grade gases.

3. CO₂ Compression

• High-Pressure Compression: Once purified, CO₂ is compressed to the desired pressure (typically 150–300 bar) for storage and transportation.

• Storage: The compressed CO₂ is stored in high-pressure cylinders or tanks ready for distribution or use in various industries.

• Cooling: The compressed gas is also cooled during the process to ensure safe storage and prevent over-pressurization.

4. Gas Distribution

• On-Demand Supply: Once CO₂ is recovered, purified, and stored, it can be distributed to different departments or transported to customers using dedicated pipelines or cylinder filling stations.

• Pressure Regulation: The distribution system uses regulators to control the flow and pressure, ensuring safe and efficient delivery for various applications.

Key Components of CO₂ Recovery Plant

• Gas Separation Units: For separating CO₂ from other gases.

• Purification Systems: To remove contaminants and ensure high-purity CO₂.

• Compression Units: To compress the CO₂ to the required pressure.

• Storage Tanks: To store recovered CO₂ for future use.

• Distribution Systems: Including pipelines, valves, and regulators for safe delivery.
