Supercritical CO2: using CO2 as a working fluid
Supercritical CO2: using CO2 as a working fluid
CO2 can also be turned into a working fluid for many hydrocarbon-dominant processes. By compressing carbon dioxide beyond its critical point, the gas and the liquid phases become identical. Atlas Copco Gas and Process has delivered and put into operation multistage integrally-geared centrifugal compressors (up to eight stages), as well as Companders for sCO2 applications based on the Brayton Cycle.

Experience in CO2 compression
Working with our customers and industry, we help drive progress in this new field – especially when it comes to CO2 utilization. For example, carbondioxide can be used to produce many consumer goods or methanol, for example. In fact, our integrally-geared turbocompressors are needed in most processes where wet CO2 is boosted for further usage.
Atlas Copco Gas and Process has over 15 years of experience compressing CO2. In meeting the challenges of CCUS, we also apply our extensive experience in serving the hydrocarbon processing, power generation and industrial gases industries.
