Processing Considerations for Carbon Capture & Storage

As Industry and the public at large focus its attention on Carbon Capture and Storage as a means of stabilising and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there are still only a few facilities world-wide in which this technology is actively being practiced. Operating facilities include the Sleipner, Norway and the In Salah Gas Algeria developments. In the latter in excess of 1 million tonnes per year of CO₂ is compressed and injected into a subterranean aquifer.

This paper discusses some of the features of CO₂ capture facility design that are peculiar to carbon dioxide. This includes selection of gas drying, compression and piping systems, and their optimization.
