ReiCat CO2 Purification: Strong growth boost through CO2 Management

This large-scale CO2 Purification Unit handed over to our client regards the production of CO2 for the beverage industry. The source is a CO2-rich waste gas from a natural gas processing plant. This waste gas in comparable plants is usually released into the atmosphere and thus contributes to the greenhouse effect.

As the gas mixture coming from the natural gas processing plant still contains quite a lot of natural gas, it is economically viable to separate it in an initial process step to utilize it for the production of electricity and heat. The remaining gas stream is then fed into ReiCat’s CO2 Purification Unit. This centerpiece of the production works in a two-step purification process. At first, impurities are catalytically removed followed by ReiCat’s Gas Drying. The result is a CO2 with a purity of 99.999 %. This unit is designed for a volume flow of 3,000 Nm³/h CO2.

We are proud to be supporting a long-standing and valued customer who has already purchased numerous systems from ReiCat for the purification of various industrial gases, including three units for CO2 Purification. With large-scale units with a capacity of up to 10,000 Nm³/h of CO2 per hour, ReiCat is represented in various European and Asian countries.

The capture and subsequent reuse or storage of CO2 is playing an increasingly important role in climate protection policy. CO2 is not only produced when fossil fuels are burned, but also in several industrial processes such as metallurgy, cement production, and ammonia synthesis. Depending on its origin, CO2 contains various impurities. These must be removed before the CO2 can be reused or stored in deep geological storage facilities. For this purpose, ReiCat uses a large number of catalysts tailored to the application. This puts us in a leading technological position in Europe and worldwide.

"In addition to the emerging hydrogen economy, CO2 management, which is becoming increasingly important for climate protection, is the driving force behind my company's expanding business volume" emphasizes Michael Höfling, owner and Managing Director of ReiCat.
