Integrally geared compressors for CO2 compression in CCUS applications - a whitepaper
In this paper, we compare various CO2 compression technologies and highlight the advantages integrally geared compressors (IGCs) provide in terms of efficiency, costs, flexibility, reliability, and footprint.
We recognize that our customers are under regulatory and reputational pressure to reduce emissions whilst continuing to optimize production. Working with you towards the energy transition, we, as a leading CO2 compressor manufacturer, are exploring efficient ways to handle problem gas while increasing your energy efficiency through operational changes.
Giving you the power of choice with solutions from our reciprocating, single-shaft and integrally geared compressor portfolios, we have the broadest application range.
World’s first large-scale direct air capture plant to use Siemens Energy equipment
Our compressors will be used at Occidental's first large-scale Direct Air Capture (DAC) plant in Texas' Permian Basin developed by 1PointFive, a subsidiary of Occidental.
Snohvit / Hammerfest LNG
Scope: 2x integrally geared compressors with dry gas seals
The only existing subsea pipeline injection currently operating in the world. Natural Gas in the Snohvit field contains 5-8% CO₂ which is separated, compressed, liquefied and pumped back via subsea pipeline into reservoir
ION Clean Energy
Scope: Front End Engineering Design (FEED) study to support heat integration and optimization, compressor selection
DOE-supported design and costing study for retrofitting Nebraska Public Power District Gerald Gentleman Station with a 90% CO₂ capture system
FPSOs Pre-Salt
Scope: 4x compressor trains – high density centrifugal compressors for CO₂ re-injection service
Reduced capital expenditure, footprint, weight, and operating costs, while increasing reliability by eliminating the need to install, operate and maintain high-pressure injection pumping systems downstream of the compression system
CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery
Scope: Over 90 High Speed Reciprocating Compressors supplied to develop stranded reserves of oil from depleted reservoirs
Increased oil production with CO2 EOR
Steam Methane Reforming
CO2 compressor for carbon capture project for hydrogen producing steam methane reformers. The compressor supplies a high pressure CO2 pipeline for enhanced oil recovery.
1 million metric tons of CO2 captured and stored per year (>90% capture rate). The captured CO2 is expected to increase oil field output by 60-90 million barrels.
A CO2 compressor is a device used to compress carbon dioxide gas to a higher pressure. It is commonly used in various industrial applications, including refrigeration, beverage carbonation, and chemical processing.
The main difference between a CO2 compressor and an air compressor lies in the type of gas they compress. A CO2 compressor is specifically designed to handle carbon dioxide gas, while an air compressor is used to compress atmospheric air. Additionally, CO2 compressors often require special materials and design considerations to handle the unique properties of carbon dioxide, such as its higher density and potential for forming dry ice at low temperatures.
The applications include precooling and main refrigerant compression, CO2 (wet, supercritical) compression, CO2 capture compression, flue gas compression, and expanders.
