SLB Capturi and CO280 successfully completed a carbon capture pilot at a paper mill located on the U.S. Gulf Coast. This trial tested the performance of a liquid amine solution to capture biogenic carbon dioxide directly from recovery boiler emissions.
Carbon capture pilot plant in a paper industry
During the third quarter of 2024, a SLB Capturi mobile test unit(MTU) was installed at the industrial site. The pilot plant operated continuously for more than 4,000 hours and achieved a capture efficiency of 95%, both companies confirmed.
The pilot development validated a flue gas pretreatment system designed to optimize emissions input to the capture process. With a nominal capacity of 3 tons per day, the unit allowed the evaluation of all key indicators, including residual emissions from the absorber and the durability of the solvent used.
Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi, mentioned that the results obtained remove technical barriers to implement this technology on an industrial scale in the paper sector. For his part, CO280 underlined the feasibility of applying carbon capture solutions in the paper sector. carbon capture capture solutions in processes involving CO2 of biological origin, opening new mitigation opportunities in energy-intensive sectors.
The collaboration between SLB Capturi and CO280 demonstrates that amine-based carbon capture technologies are ready to scale commercially in today’s industries.
