Carbon Capture

Carbon Capture
CO2 that is emitted from industrial plants can be sequestered.  Instead of releasing hot flue gases into the atmosphere, they are piped through a system that first cools the gas, and then brings it to an ‘absorber’.  There are many technologies that can ‘capture’ carbon, but commonly, an amine solution is used that binds with the CO2.  The solution then goes to a ‘stripper’ where high temperatures release pure CO2 steam, and the amine solution is regenerated.  The pure CO2 is then usually compressed into a semi-liquid and transported via pipes or trucks.  Measuring the CO2 concentration at various stages of the process is critical to ensure that the system is functioning properly.  The Model Q41 inline, industrial CO2 analyzer can accurately measure CO2 0-100%.
