Installation, commissioning, and testing of a carbon capture pilot at Returkraft AS

The aim of the project is the production, installation and testing of a carbon capture pilot with (CC) technology delivered by Air Products (membrane technology) in order to obtain scalable knowledge about capture rates, CO₂ purity and to establish a foundation to calculate Opex and Capex costs for a full scale capture plant. In addition, it is important to gain experience with the operation of the pilot and the integration with the existing facility.
The trials that are planned shall mainly give an answer to how the quality of the fluegas is affecting the lifetime of the membranes, the capture rate of CO₂, and cost pr captured unit of CO₂, and to be part of the factbasis for the choice of technology in the future.
The following activities will be performed during the project.
Procurement of all necessary components to build the pilot-rig.
Build and install the pilot in the existing facility.
Perform the planned test program with regards to capture rates and purity grades.
Analyse collected data from the different trials, and communicate the results and experiences.
Use the data as part of the basis to choose technology for a future fullscale capture plant.
