Carbon Clean announces successful completion of world’s first industrial deployment of CycloneCC

  • CycloneCC achieved milestone of around 4,000 operating hours over a six-month period, delivering a high purity CO2 product.
  • Installed on site in under a week, validating Carbon Clean’s fully modular design approach.

Carbon Clean announced the successful completion of the world’s first industrial deployment of CycloneCC. The modular unit has achieved the major milestone of around 4,000 operating hours over a six-month period, moving CycloneCC to Technology Readiness Level 7 (TRL 7)1. CycloneCC has been operating continuously, delivering a high purity CO2 product, which exceeds the projected target and meets Fertiglobe’s CO2 purity requirements.

System validation has confirmed that the industrial demonstration unit can now be further scaled up and commercialized. 

The mobile CycloneCC unit was installed on site in under a week at Fertiglobe’s nitrogen fertilizer plant in the Al Ruwais Industrial Complex in Abu Dhabi – a record for the carbon capture sector. The CO2 captured from a reformer flue gas stack has been used by Fertiglobe in urea production.

CycloneCC is Carbon Clean’s breakthrough modular technology, which provides a viable alternative to conventional carbon capture plants. Process intensification reduces mass transfer equipment by a factor of 10, decreasing the overall footprint by up to 50%. The combination of rotating packed beds (RPBs) and Carbon Clean’s proprietary amine-promoted buffer salt APBS-CDRMax solvent increases the efficiency of the carbon capture process while delivering extremely high performance.
