Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Analysis & Monitoring for Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS)

Monitor hazardous gases in CO2 to protect valuable pipeline infrastructure

 

With ever increasing attention on addressing the challenges of climate change and the transition toward a sustainable future, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) is a promising solution with the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

CCUS is a set of technologies and processes that:

  • Capture carbon dioxide emissions from various sources and prevent their release into the atmosphere. Sources of carbon dioxide can include power generation plants, industrial facilities, cement manufacturing facilities, and more.
  • Utilize this captured carbon dioxide in various processes, such as the production of valuable products or as a feedstock for enhanced oil recovery.
  • Store this captured carbon dioxide safely and permanently underground.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) emphasizes that CCUS has the potential to play a crucial role in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. Capturing and storing carbon dioxide can prevent its release into the atmosphere and mitigate the impact of climate change. Additionally, the utilization of captured carbon dioxide can help contribute to the development of a circular economy, where carbon dioxide is treated as a valuable resource rather than a waste product.

Meet the challenge with FTIR technology

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) technology, utilized in the Thermo Scientific MAX-iR FTIR Gas Analyzer, can monitor and guard against hazardous levels of acid gases in CO2 heading to and from geological storage, protecting valuable CO2 pipeline infrastructure. Benefits of OE-FTIR technology include:

  • 24/7 unattended operation
  • Continuous measurement, real-time data
  • Monitoring trace levels of SOx and NOx impurities
  • Extremely low detection capability to ensure safety
  • Ensure CO2 specifications are met and maintained
  • Low maintenance non-contact technology
  • Highly specific – interference free measurement
