Rising to the carbon capture challenge: reliable instrumentation helps to ensure quality and compliance for safe carbon dioxide removal
One of the main enablers of the energy transition is the decarbonization of operations, value chain, and practices to mitigate the effects of climate change. An important driver is the adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies to reduce CO2 emissions. Industry standards are still under development partially governed by regulatory compliance and government subsidies. Many decarbonization technologies have very specific requirements for process measurement equipment.
321 Mt CO2
operational and planned annual capture capacity by 2030 (IEA)
CO2 needs to be captured, transported, stored in underground storage facilities, or used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) or other industrial purposes. Processes within the CCUS value chain demand the highest levels of measurement accuracy, reliability, and real-time monitoring. Measurement challenges include operation in harsh conditions while regulatory standards are still being developed. Teaming up with an experienced partner helps you achieve sustainability goals in this dynamic environment.

Области применения
Optimizing amine-based carbon capture processes
Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is gaining more attention as a preferred solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from industrial plants. Chemical absorption based on amine solvents is considered one of the most mature technologies for carbon capture. Here, optimization of CO2 capture cost, as well as solvent management, are crucial for both the plant operator and the technology developer.

Raman spectroscopy allows for accurate in-line process monitoring. The implementation of this technology can allow operators to reliably predict the total CO2 and amine concentrations in changing process conditions and minimize solvent loss through close monitoring of variations in quality.
Residual purified gas exiting the amine process can be measured for trace impurities such as H2S and CO2 using TDLAS technology.
Flow metering solution for supercritical or dense phase CO2
Accurately measuring the flow rate of CO2 in a dense, supercritical phase is a key application in long-distance pipeline transportation. In this phase, the CO2 has a viscosity similar to that of a gas, but a density closer to that of a liquid, making its flow measurement a challenging task. Due to unusual variance in the thermophysical properties of CO2 in this dense phase, special care must be taken to maintain the temperature and pressure in the pipeline.

Laser based analyzer (TDLAS) to ensure the quality of CO2 by measuring impurities
Moisture measurement in CO2 to ensure quality compliance
CO2 can be stored underground (sequestration) or used for Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) and other industrial purposes (e.g. synthetic fuels). Before pipeline injection, the CO2 must be dehydrated to avoid corrosion and ice/hydrate formation. After dehydration, the gaseous CO2 is compressed and liquefied for transport. Accurate moisture measurement optimizes dryer efficiency to ensure the CO2 meets proper specifications agreed upon by the supplier and the transport vendor.

With a large installed base for moisture analyzers in high-concentration CO2 streams, Endress+Hauser has significant experience in providing gas analyzer technologies to ensure the quality of carbon dioxide. With our J22 TDLAS laser-based gas analyzers, we offer a reliable standard option for the accurate measurement of moisture in CO2 while ensuring dehydration efficiency, uptime, and availability. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) means:
Measurement updates every second, no field calibration, and very low maintenance
Very reliable construction using solid state sensing elements, ensuring plant availability
Easy to install and commission with health monitoring allows hands-off operation for years
Simple in-field servicing of electronics, optics, and sample conditioning components to minimize downtime
Unlike CO2 capture at the point of emission in heavy industries, direct air capture (DAC) extracts CO2 from the atmosphere, therefore helping to achieve the goal of net-zero emissions. Since the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is significantly lower compared to CO2 coming from traditional flue gas, the process is energy-intensive and requires long-term investments. Additionally, the CO2 separation process is challenging.

The high-concentration CO2 captured is further treated and either stored in geological formations, utilized to produce synthetic fuels, or used as feedstock. Its quality must therefore be closely monitored. Benefits from using Endress+Hauser devices include improved process safety, control, and quality validation at key measurement points.

Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) includes technologies that capture and make use of the high concentrations of CO₂ emitted by industrial activities. CCUS plays a key role in decarbonization and the challenge of global climate change. CO2 can be captured pre-combustion, post-combustion, or via DAC. Accurate quantity and quality measurements including safe data are crucial to optimize capture process, pipeline integrity, safe storage, environmental safety, and efficient operation.
