Sulzer Chemtech's separation technology is at the core of
successful, value adding carbon capture projects
A
dvanced process solutions are key to
helping chemical process industries
(CPI) develop and implement successful
decarbonization strategies. To facilitate the
adoption of more sustainable practices,
Sulzer Chemtech offers a complete mass
transfer solution portfolio that is designed
to support highly effective carbon capture,
utilization and storage (CCUS) facilities.
With a proven track record of delivering
advanced CCUS solutions of any scale, the
leader in separation and mixing technology
has developed world-class equipment for
such processes. The ever-expanding range
of solutions available is engineered to maximize
the removal of carbon dioxide (CO2)
from flue gases with high efficiency while
preventing the loss or emission of solvents
into the atmosphere. As a result, environmentally
oriented players in the CPI can reduce
the costs and environmental impact
associated with CCUS operations.
Manufacturers and processors can leverage
MellapakCC structured packing to set
up compact yet highly effective separation
units, with achievable capture efficiencies
between 90 and 99%. This column component
also significantly reduces pressure
drops, optimizing the efficiency of amine
absorption units. Thanks to all these features,
annual costs of CCUS operations processing
1'000 tonnes or more per day of flue
gas that leverage MellapakCC are expected
to be well below EUR 45 per tonne of CO2
captured.
This customized packing for CCUS can
also be combined with highly efficient
MellaTech liquid distributors and AYPlus DC
column internals. These help to properly
distribute and prevent the loss and emission
of amine-based solvents. As a result,
it is possible to optimize solvent utilization,
recovery and ultimately the sustainability of
CCUS operations. Besides, Sulzer Chemtech
is helping companies integrate cost-effective
excess heat solutions for solvent regen2

eration to further enhance these benefits.
Thanks to Sulzer Chemtech's expertise
and state-of-the-art separation technologies,
players in key industries have been
able to turn CCUS facilities into profitable
plants to generate new revenue streams.
Even more, Sulzer Chemtech is helping customers
develop innovative carbon utilization
solutions to drive circularity.

GEA is making decarbonization a reality.
With cutting-edge carbon capture technologies and innovative CO2reducing
processes, GEA helps its customers to smoothly transition into
the low-carbon economy.
T
o meet climate and global warming targets, the way humanity
consumes and produces must change. Across industries, an
array of options has been gaining traction on the race to achieve
carbon neutrality but there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
GEA´s portfolio for processes decarbonization offers made-tomeasure
solutions and a multi-pronged approach, adaptable across
the chemical process industries and beyond. Helping customers reduce
harmful emissions while improving their energy efficiency and
facilitating their journey towards carbon neutral production.
As a worldwide leading provider for air pollution control solutions,
GEA offers not only its well-established gas cleaning and heat recovery
technologies but also an amine-based CO2 capturing processes
along with options for CO2 transport, utilization and sequestration.
These technologies for Carbon Capture and storage (CCS) enable
the separation of CO2 from emission points before it gets released
into the atmosphere for its posterior use in the production of valuable
CO2-based products or to sequestrate it in long-term storages.
An effective and attractive option for highly CO2-emitting industries
that has allowed GEA´s air pollution solutions portfolio to expand
and have an ever more significant impact.

Another way in which GEA is leading the
way towards decarbonization is by doing
its part to help meet the demand for power
from " clean " energy sources through a
lithium portfolio that starts at the mine and goes beyond the dried
battery powder. It includes the solvent recovery during battery production
and supporting in closing the loop with recycling the batteries
with extraction and purification of critical metals such as cobalt,
lithium and nickel.
Rechargeable li-ion batteries have come to open the door to lowcarbon
connectivity and mobility that can reduce pollution while
creating jobs, making streets safer, strengthening infrastructure and
stimulating local economies - it is no wonder, that their demand
is on a sustained rise. As an established one-stop-supplier for all
major lithium process steps, GEA´s portfolio includes evaporative
concentration, precipitation, crystallization, purification, separation
and drying,providing its customers with an unrivalled combination
of process expertise that covers the whole spectrum of lithium production,
from brine concentration to high-purity particles.
Lithium processing? GEA has you covered.
