The National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC) is excited to announce that EPRI is coming to the NCCC to test a promising carbon management technology.
EPRI, along with Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and RTI International (RTI), recently began engineering-scale testing of a water-lean solvent for post-combustion carbon capture in the NCCC’s Pilot Solvent Test Unit (PSTU).
Tony Wu, NCCC project manager, stated, “The National Carbon Capture Center plays a crucial role in the development and scale-up process of this water-lean solvent through real-world testing using the PSTU.”
This testing represents a significant step forward in technological progression, demonstrating the solvent’s performance on an engineering scale with realistic flue gas and operating conditions.
The lessons learned from the NCCC’s test could pave the way for continuous technology improvement and scale-up toward commercialization at a lower cost.
