Innovative CO₂ and H₂ recovery solution for improved carbon footprint
Fabio Ferrari
Circular Carbon and Integrated Solutions HoD, NEXTCHEM
The paper presents the advantages offered by the possibility of separating and recovering CO2 and H2 from the off-gases produced by a Tail Gas Treatment Unit (TGTU), downstream an enriched oxygen sulphur recovery unit.
Nextchem has developed a proprietary configuration that combines cryogenic solutions with PSA technologies to recover high-purity streams of CO2 and H2 that can be re-utilized in the upstream/downstream processes.
The implementation of Nextchem solution minimizes the off-gases sent to incineration and significantly increases the plant hydrogen recovery, therefore reducing CO2 emissions to the atmosphere and contributing towards project's Net Zero emissions goal.
