Application of Advanced Cryogenic Carbon Capture to Smaller Scale and Dispersed Industrial Site

位于伦敦Silvertown的Tate & Lyle糖厂是欧洲最大的蔗糖精炼厂，年产能高达120万吨，自1878年以来一直在这里提炼糖。泰莱制糖公司正寻求到2050年实现净零排放，该项目有可能为实现这一目标做出重大贡献。泰莱糖业公司正在与工程咨询公司Fichtner和专业脱碳公司PMW Technology合作，研究使用一种名为“A3C”的创新、低温、物理分离碳捕集工艺的可行性，以减少高达90%的二氧化碳排放量。该研究还将评估在现场捕获的二氧化碳的使用或处置。例如，通过船舶转移到一个拟议的工业碳捕获集群，该集群将把天然气注入北海下面的前天然气田。PMW技术公司将利用其在工业碳捕集技术方面的专业知识，评估在Silvertown炼油厂使用先进的A3C低温碳捕集工艺的可行性。这种新工艺先净化烟气，然后冷却，将二氧化碳分离成霜。二氧化碳被回收和液化用于储存、使用或出口。分离过程是激烈的，减少了它的尺寸和能源消耗，使它成为一个很好的候选者，在没有广泛的附近土地（如银镇）。分离出的二氧化碳纯度高，无需进一步清洗即可用于食品。避免使用传统的化学分离，该工艺不会对人员和环境造成新的危害。菲特纳在能源和废物处理领域以卓越的技术和项目交付而闻名。该公司在英国拥有一支庞大的工程团队，为热能、可再生能源和新兴能源技术和基础设施的开发、交付和运营阶段提供工程咨询。Fichtner将与Tate & Lyle Sugars和PMW Technology合作，评估A3C碳捕集工艺在Silvertown炼油厂应用的技术和商业可行性、风险和不确定性，以及在其他类似工业场所采用的可能性，特别是那些中小型的、不在现有工业集群中的工业场所。

The Tate & Lyle Sugars plant at Silvertown, London, is the largest cane sugar refinery in Europe with an annual capacity of up to 1.2 million tonnes and sugar has been refined at the site since 1878\. Tate & Lyle Sugars is seeking to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050 and this project has the potential to make a major contribution to achieving that goal.Working with engineering consultants Fichtner and specialist decarbonisation company PMW Technology, Tate & Lyle Sugars is studying the feasibility of using an innovative, low temperature, physical separation carbon capture process known as 'A3C' to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by up to 90%. The study will also assess use or disposal of the carbon dioxide captured on site. For example transfer by ship to one of the proposed industrial carbon capture clusters which will inject the gas into former gas fields beneath the North Sea.PMW Technology will bring its expertise in industrial carbon capture technology to assess the feasibility of the use of the advanced A3C cryogenic carbon capture process to the Silvertown refinery. This novel process cleans and then chills the flue gases to separate the carbon dioxide as a frost. The carbon dioxide is recovered and liquefied for storage, use or export. The separation process is intense, reducing its size and energy consumption, making it a good candidate for application at sites that do not have extensive nearby land (such as Silvertown). The high purity of the separated carbon dioxide means that it is suitable for food use without further cleaning. Avoiding the use of the conventional chemical separation, the process introduces no new hazards to personnel or the environment.Fichtner is renowned for technical excellence and project delivery in the energy and waste sectors. The company has a large engineering team based in the UK providing engineering consultancy during the development, delivery and operational phases of thermal, renewable and emerging energy technologies and infrastructure. Fichtner will work with Tate & Lyle Sugars and PMW Technology to assess the technical and commercial feasibility, risks and uncertainties of the application of the A3C carbon capture process to the Silvertown refinery and for potential adoption at other similar industrial sites - especially those at a small to medium scale and not located in one of the established industrial clusters.
