CARBON CAPTURE, UTILIZATION & STORAGE
Metal Organic Framework – Post-Combustion Carbon Capture
LOCATION: Pikes Peak South, SK
MARKET: CO2 Capture & Storage
THE CHALLENGE
The Client wanted to test a new efficient technology for capturing CO2 generated by the combustion of fossil fuels by partnering with a Producer for install at their Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) facility. This proprietary process is a rapid cycle Temperature Swing Adsorption (TSA) system using advanced structured adsorbents that can produce a high-purity CO2 stream. The CO2 would be pipelined for use at the Producer’s Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) production program. The goal was to demonstrate the performance and operational requirements to deploy this new technology.
THE SOLUTION
CANUSA EPC provided engineering support for the development of a pilot scale facility design with a feed stream consisting of 10% CO2, 18% H2O, 70% N2, and 2% O2 with impurities
- Recommended design improvements to the TSA system
- Executed the detailed design based on the supplied Process Design Basis
- Plot plan & P&ID development
- Earthworks & piles
- Structural steel & skids
- Electrical
- Instrumentation & controls
- Procurement
- Pipeline route maps
- Completed on-site support to locate all TSA system tie-in’s
- Flue gas
- Instrument air & fuel gas
- Feed & wastewater
- Power
- Loads
- Implemented an independent Distributed Control System (DCS)
with full autonomous control and data acquisition
- Consulted Operations to develop normal, controlled and emergency modes of Operations and shutdowns
THE RESULTS:
- TSA captured 30 MTPD of CO2 with recovery and purity of 90%
- TIC of $18MM for install of the TSA system
- TIC of $1M to pipeline the CO2 for use in EOR
- Demonstrate performance and operational results from lab to pilot scale
- Optimize CO2 recovery using different adsorbents
- Provided support for the design and construction of a 300 MTPD system
