Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)
The current efforts of manufacturers to reduce their environmental impact may not be enough, which is why Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) technologies have the potential to play a vital role moving forward.
Carbon capture
Carbon capture involves using different technologies to separate CO2 from industrial exhaust channels or directly from sea water or the atmosphere. These include chemical solvent-based, physical solvent-based, adsorption-based, and even cryogenic carbon capture. Vacuum pumps play a vital role in these technologies by providing the low-pressure environment required for efficient gas separation, compression, and purification.
Atlas Copco vacuum pumps and systems enable efficient CO2 separation in various carbon capture methods:
Post-combustion capture
This process involves the capture of carbon after the combustion of fuel and air to produce flue gas. Vacuum pumps are needed to separate CO2 from flue gases in power plants and industrial facilities after combustion. Large flows are required, which is why Atlas Copco's
