Carbon Clean - Model APBS-CDRMax -CO2 Capture Solvent
APBS-CDRMax® is a commercially-available CO2 capture solvent used for industrial flue gases or off-gases with CO2 concentrations ranging from 2.5-25% by volume. The solvent can be paired with our CDRMax® process, or used as a drop-replacement for alternative solvents such as MDEA for low pressure gas separations. CDRMax produces CO2 with a purity of 95–99.9% and offers a $40/tonne cost of capture when used with our CDRMax process. APBS-CDRMax® has high solvent stability, low corrosivity, low regeneration energy requirements, and holds up well in oxygenated environments. As a drop-in replacement, APBS-CDRMax® can reduce energy costs. In conjunction with our CDRMax® process, operational costs can be reduced 20–40% compared to conventional options.
Less corrosion and degradation
APBS-CDRMax® is less reactive to oxygen and shows 20x less corrosion and 10x less degradation compared to conventional solvents. This helps lower waste solvent disposal costs to a negligible amount.
Reduced foaming and waste
APBS-CDRMax® provides higher performance efficiency with less foaming, leading to a roughly 50% reduction in ongoing chemical requirement and waste disposal costs. This reduces amine carryover and the need for anti-foaming additives.
Lower aerosols
APBS-CDRMax® reduces solvent emissions to parts per billions (ppb) levels, exceeding environmental regulatory requirements and making approval easier.
Longer solvent life
Compared to MEA, APBS-CDRMax® has 5x longer solvent life and 86% less solvent makeup.
Drop-in replacement capability
APBS-CDRMax® can be used as a drop-in replacement of conventional solvents such as MDEA, MEA, or DGA and reduce thermal energy usage by 20% or more. APBS-CDRMax® is proven for power plants and boilers (gas and coal-fired).
