Competitive Edge: Ionada’s Carbon Capture Tech

by Jim Lane (Biofuels Digest) ... (T)o provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly method to reduce flue gas contaminants such as SOx and CO2 for small and medium sized enterprises (SME) requiring emission reductions. ... Ionada’s patented carbon capture technology provides significant size and cost reductions for sources below one hundred thousand tons of CO2 per year.

Our unique ceramic membrane design means our system design is very compact, from the size of a household refrigerator to a series of 20 ft shipping containers, depending on the CO2 reduction required.

The system has a much smaller footprint than traditional designs and can easily be scaled up as increased CO2 reductions are mandated.

Q: What stage of development are you? Choose one:

Demonstration stage – proven at small, integrated scale, but not yet commercially available

The use of hollow nano-porous ceramic tubes allow the amine absorbent to be in contact with the CO2 but at the same time remain clean and available for regeneration and reuse.

The cross-over point for the Ionada’s economice advantages compared to spray towers is in the CO2 capture range of 100,000 tons per year.

For plants where space is at a premium the advantages of nano-porous ceramic tube design can extend to greater capture levels.

Ionada’s modular compact technology allows for a new approach to carbon capture for SME emitters.

Companies can focus on their core business and outsource their CO2 reduction requirements to Ionada.

Our business approach is “buying the plume”; taking the responsibility to meet the required emission target and secure the CO2 credit for our customers, while our customers focus on delivering low carbon fuels to the market.

As well the modular nature of the technology allows it to be offered on a lease basis, or moved to an alternative site as circumstances demand. Your investment does not have to be tied to a specific emission source. READ MORE
