The captured CO<sub>2<\/sub> is collected, then either stored long-term (sequestered) or utilized in another application. That\u2019s why carbon capture (CC) is often referred to as carbon capture and storage (CCS) or carbon capture, utilization and storage\/sequestration (CCUS).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Note that carbon capture is <em>not<\/em> removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. That process is called direct air capture, a technology that uses sorbents to filter CO<sub>2<\/sub> from the air.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Technologies for Capturing, Utilizing, and Storing Carbon<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">There exists several effective processes for capturing carbon dioxide. The technologies are generally categorized as chemical, physical (membranes), cryogenic, or biological (vegetation).<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:358px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2024\/08\/amine-unit-diagram.jpeg\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fig. 1: Simplified diagram of an amine unit<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A good example of a chemical process is the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/products\/temperature-products\/vital-role-of-temperature-in-amine-columns-for-treating-natural-gas\/\">amine unit<\/a>, for pre- or post-combustion carbon capture. This equipment \u2013 found in refineries, fertilizer plants, liquified natural gas (LNG) facilities, etc. \u2013 is made up of two interconnected columns (Figure 1). In the contactor column, amine solvent comes into contact with the process gas and absorbs the CO<sub>2<\/sub> and sulfur compounds. The amine solution, now saturated with acid gases (rich amine), enters the stripper column, where steam removes the unwanted compounds so that the regenerated amine (lean amine) can be sent back into the contactor column to be used again. Meanwhile, the acid gases are sent to other units for further separating and refining.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Amines are also used in post-combustion carbon capture, to remove CO<sub>2<\/sub> and other compounds from flue gas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A newer technology for removing carbon dioxide is to freeze it out, available both pre-combustion and post-combustion\/post-production.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Controlled Freeze Zone<sup>\u2122<\/sup> (CFZ)<\/strong> is a single-step distillation process where a refrigerant cools the dirty process gas to about \u221250\u00b0F (\u221246\u00b0C), then uses controlled freezing and thawing to separate out acid gases (CO<sub>2<\/sub> and H<sub>2<\/sub>S) from methane.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cryogenic CO<sub>2<\/sub> capture<\/strong> also uses low temperature and high pressure, first drying and then cooling flue gas so that the CO<sub>2<\/sub> solidifies\/liquefies and separates out. Toxins like mercury and sulfur compounds are also removed. What remains is light gas, made up of mostly nitrogen (N<sub>2<\/sub>), which is emitted through the smokestack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:191px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2024\/08\/sequestration-388x371.png\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">CO2 sequestration<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<h3>What happens after carbon capture<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the CO<sub>2<\/sub> is removed from the dirty process or flue gas, it is compressed and then either sequestered (stored) or utilized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sequestration<\/strong> involves injecting liquefied CO<sub>2<\/sub> deep underground. In geologic sequestration, the carbon enters porous rock formations through dedicated injection wells, and is trapped underground by layers of basalt. In addition, the chemicals in basalt combine with the sequestered carbon to form solid carbonates.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n      <div class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width:538px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/files\/2024\/08\/eor-1-388x184.png\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery (CO2 EOR)<\/p><\/div>\n    \n<p>CO<sub>2<\/sub> isolated from dirty gases is not pure enough for making carbonated beverages, but it <em>is<\/em> useful for <strong>enhanced oil recovery<\/strong> (EOR). CO<sub>2<\/sub> EOR is a popular method in the U.S. to pull petroleum from fields that have become unproductive using other recovery methods. Similar to carbon sequestration, EOR involves injecting liquid CO<sub>2<\/sub> into porous rock strata, where it reduces the viscosity of crude oil so that it is easier to extract.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><\/p>\n<p>WIKA\u2019s Meter Runs Measure Flow of Captured CO<sub>2<\/sub><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">An international oil and gas company operates the world\u2019s largest carbon capture facility, located in the western United States, as part of its business to extract helium and natural gas. To further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the energy company is increasing its capabilities in CCUS. Among the equipment needed for this expansion project are flow skids, which measure and control the amount of liquid CO<sub>2<\/sub> that is piped to nearby EOR sites and pumped into underground cavities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The energy company selected a European EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) business to supply additional flow skids for the project. When the EPC contractor needed flow meter assemblies manufactured to their precise specifications, they contacted WIKA.<\/p>\n<h3>A specially engineered meter run<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Because no two projects are the same, the flow specialists at WIKA are accustomed to designing flow measurement solutions. This EPC customer has a long-standing relationship with WIKA and is already familiar with our ability to engineer specialized assemblies, even non-standard ones. When they asked whether we could manufacture units to their specifications, we were happy to help.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The specifics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Meter runs for measuring and controlling the flow of liquid CO<sub>2<\/sub> under high pressure<\/li>\n<li>Location: outlet flow meter station after carbon capture<\/li>\n<li>8-inch pipe section<\/li>\n<li>Orifice plates as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/primary_flow_elements.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">primary flow elements<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Dual-chamber orifice assembly<\/li>\n<li>Differential pressure transmitter<\/li>\n<li>Temperature transmitter with thermocouple<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Dual-chamber meter run assembly<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The EPC contractor requested a two-chamber orifice meter run in order to cover the entire minimum-maximum flow range for this particular application. They wanted two different sizes of orifice plates (OP) because each plate has a short range. So, when the flow rate changes to a value that is out of range for one OP, an operator can switch to the other. An added advantage of the dual-chamber design is redundancy: if one orifice plate needs to be replaced, the other one is put into service. This way, service can be done without having to halt operations and depressurize the process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">As liquid CO<sub>2<\/sub> flows through each orifice plate\u2019s two small ports, a differential pressure transmitter (DPT) <span>\u00a0<\/span>connected to the ports measures the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/products\/pressure-products\/introduction-to-differential-pressure-measurement\/\">differential pressure<\/a>; the instrument also measures <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.wika.com\/us\/\/knowhow\/what-is-gauge-pressure\/\">gauge pressure<\/a>. A short distance away in the meter tube is a temperature transmitter. The differential pressure transmitter takes the measured DP value, corrects it based on the flow\u2019s pressure and temperature, and sends this compensated value as an electronic (4\u202620 mA) signal to a flow computer. This computer then produces the actual flow rate based on a series of signals.<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">We built the custom flow assemblies using the following WIKA products:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/flc_mr.WIKA?highlightedText=%E2%80%A2FLC-MR\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">FLC-MR meter run \/ meter tube<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/flc_ac_flc_fl_flc_op.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">FLC-OP orifice plate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/dpt_20.WIKA?highlightedText=DPT-20\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">DPT-20 differential pressure transmitter<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/t32_xs.WIKA?highlightedText=T32\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">xS digital temperature transmitter<\/a> with HART<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> communication protocol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>WIKA, a Trusted Partner for Custom Flow Solutions<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our product experts are known for working closely with customer and coming up with innovative instrumentation solutions that go beyond the original request.
