Carbon Capture Solutions
Carbon capture technology is a proven solution for reducing carbon emissions and meeting sustainability goals. From power plants to chemical manufacturing, more industries are adopting point source carbon capture to meet not only regulatory requirements, but also their own environmental commitments.
Tate Metalworks has decades of experience fabricating and Erecting Direct Contact Cooler vessels, Absorber Columns, Regenerator and Stripper Vessels that are utilized in the process to Capture and store CO2. We are an AMSE certified “U” Stamp company and have the capabilities to field erect pressure vessels at your site.
New EPA Mandate and Carbon Capture Incentives
The EPA's new rule on emissions from fossil fuel power plants, effective July 8, 2024, mandates carbon capture and storage (CCS) as the Best System of Emissions Reductions (BSER) for all existing coal-fired plants and all new natural gas fired plants, depending on their load category and retirement date.
Additionally, legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provide incentives for CCS implementation, driving down costs and encouraging technology innovation.
CCS has become a viable solution not only for the power industry but also for industries such as chemical, concrete and steel where carbon emissions are inherent to their process. With the increasing importance of CCS, it's crucial to understand how this technology works.
Post Combustion CCS
Post combustion carbon capture, or point source carbon capture, has been tested at scale for safety, reliability, performance and economic viability.
Point source carbon capture is a method of capturing the carbon emissions directly from a plant’s flue gas before it enters the atmosphere.
This technology is being rolled out across the country and is being described by industry leaders and experts as a critical tool to combating carbon emissions and achieving climate goals while still meeting the increasing demand for industrial processes and energy consumption.
How it works:
The flue gas flows to a direct contact cooler.
It then flows to an absorber vessel where the carbon binds to a chemical solvent.
The carbon rich solvent is transported to a regenerator or stripper vessel where the captured carbon is removed from the solvent and processed for storage or into a pipeline for sequestration.
The used solvent can be cycled back through the process and the cleaned emissions can be released safely into the atmosphere.
