BRE 600: Webinar – Capturing CO₂ from Syngas

This webinar explores the key steps involved in capturing carbon dioxide from syngas, focusing on the technical aspects relevant to high-pressure gas streams. Syngas, produced from processes such as Steam Methane Reforming (SMR), coal/biomass gasification, or autothermal reforming, contains a substantial amount of CO₂ that must be removed to purify hydrogen or ammonia feedstocks, comply with low-carbon fuel standards, or enable CO₂ utilization and storage (CCUS).

The first part of the session will introduce the composition of syngas and the drivers for CO₂ removal. This will be followed by an in-depth discussion of available CO₂ removal technologies for high-pressure gas streams, including:

• Chemical absorption using amine solvents
• Physical solvent systems (e.g., Selexol™, Rectisol™)
• Membrane separation
• Cryogenic CO₂ separation

Process setups will be compared using simulation examples built in ProMax, showcasing typical configurations and performance trade-offs. Special attention will be given to solvent selection, pressure effects, and process integration.

Access to ProMax is not needed for this webinar, which will take approximately 2 hours. The webinar is hosted over WebEx, and information on how to connect to the session will be provided after registration. For more information about a particular BRE 600: Webinar course please Contact Training.
