Carbon capture and storage.
CCS engineering since 2008, from feasibility through detailed design. We cover CO₂ conditioning, compression, pipeline transport and injection facilities.
From concept to detailed design
Feasibility and concept selection
Screen options for handling CO₂-rich streams and delivering them to depleted reservoirs. Compare process configurations and identify the constraints that govern concept selection.
CO₂ conditioning and compression
Assess dehydration and compression configurations, including supercritical CO₂ behaviour and the potential for solid formation during recycle. At detailed design, we use dynamic models to assess controls and anti-surge protection.
Pipeline transport and flow assurance
Assess pipeline hydraulics and CO₂ phase behaviour across the operating range. Study how start-up, shutdown and changes in flow affect pressure and temperature along the line.
Injection facilities and controls
Evaluate how injection pressure and capacity controls respond to changes in flow, compressor trips and other upsets.
