據氣體世界網2022年3月29日報道，據這個項目開發(fā)商披露，總部位于北愛爾蘭首府貝爾法斯特的MOF技術公司開發(fā)的一種新型模塊化碳捕獲系統(tǒng)可能會“徹底改變碳捕獲世界”。 

 

這個被命名為Nuada的新型模塊化碳捕獲系統(tǒng)旨在消除限制加速投資碳捕獲技術商業(yè)化的障礙。

 

這個通過使用由真空變壓吸附(PSA)技術驅動的“超高效”系統(tǒng)，結合基于金屬有機框架(MOF)的過濾器，能源處理成本可以降低80%，從而將捕獲每噸二氧化碳(CO2)的成本降低到13英鎊。

 

MOFs通過使用定制的化學物質來靶向、捕獲和去除特定的氣體(如二氧化碳)，從而有選擇性地工作。 

 

這個解決方案是一種更清潔、更可持續(xù)的替代能源密集型的胺類溶劑系統(tǒng)，而胺類溶劑系統(tǒng)每去除一噸二氧化碳需要3.4GJ的能源。

 

在談到胺溶劑處理的“極度高”的能量需求時，MOF技術公司的聯合首席執(zhí)行官康納·哈米爾博士表示，這種技術已被證明是許多機構采用碳捕集技術的一大障礙。 

 

哈米爾堅信，Nuada將幫助工業(yè)實現脫碳目標，絕對徹底改變碳捕獲行業(yè)。  

 

他說：“與傳統(tǒng)方法不同，新型模塊化碳捕獲系統(tǒng)可以很容易地連接到設備的廢氣管道，而無需進行大規(guī)模的重新設計或安裝工作。”

 

“Nuada系統(tǒng)的推出是改變碳捕獲游戲規(guī)則的機會，”哈米爾補充說。

 

在成功完成了原型機的測試以后，MOF技術公司目前正在建造一個野外試驗工廠。

‘Breakthrough’ carbon capture tech slashes costs

 

A new modular carbon capture system developed by Belfast-based MOF Technologies could ‘revolutionise the world of carbon capture’, according to its developers.

 

Its Nuada system aims to remove barriers that restrict accelerated investment into the commercialisation of carbon capture technology. 

 

By utilising an ‘ultra-efficient’ system driven by vacuum pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology combined with a metal-organic framework (MOF)-based filter, energy process costs could be reduced by 80% resulting in a cost of capture reduced to as low as ￡13 per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2). 

 

MOFs work selectively by using bespoke chemistry to target, capture, and remove specific gases such as CO2. 

 

The solution presents itself as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative to energy-intensive amine solvent-based systems, which can require up to 3.4GJ (gigajoules) of energy per tonne of CO2 removed. 

 

Referring to the ‘cripplingly high’ energy requirements of amine solvent treatment, Dr. Conor Hamill, Co-CEO, MOF Technologies, stated such technology has proved to be a prohibitive barrier to carbon capture adoption for many organisations. 

 

Hamill firmly believes that Nuada will help industry achieve decarbonisation goals, acting to positively disrupt the carbon capture industry. 

 

“Unlike traditional approaches, the modular system can be easily connected to a facility’s waste gas line without extensive redesign or installation work,” he said. 

 

“The launch of the Nuada system is a game-changing moment for carbon capture,” added Hamill. 

 

Having successfully completed tests of a prototype, MOF Technologies is currently building an in-field pilot plant.
