CO2 Capture with Integrally–Geared Centrifugal Compressor

The “Quest” Carbon Capture and Storage process: (1) The Hydrogen Unit produces hydrogen for the conversion of bitumen to synthetic crude oil. (2) The CO2 is removed from the “syngas” by contacting it with activated amine. Afterwards the CO2 is separated from the amine. (3) The purified CO2 stream is then compressed by a MAN Diesel & Turbo RG90-8 type compressor in eight stages to a discharge pressure of 130 bar. (4) This is sufficient to send the compressed CO2 about 60 kilometres via an underground pipeline to a wellhead. (5) The dense phase CO2 is injected 2.3 kilometres below the surface into a saline rock formation for permanent storage. (Picture: Shell Canada) Image Zoom
