Maximizing Efficiency: Advantages of SETO gas pretreatment in Carbon Capture Technology

The decarbonization of heavy industries is leading to an increase in flue gas cleaning, requirements beyond current standards. Achieving success with Carbon Capture plants requires further investment in flue gas treatment. GEA has decades of expertise in flue gas processing and treatment and is your ideal engineering partner for upgrading existing plants or supplying new gas pretreatment plants in combination with Carbon Capture initiatives. Choose GEA for seamless integration and optimal performance.


Why SETO gas pretreatment is crucial for Carbon Capture plants

The SETO gas pretreatment of flue gas ensures that the necessary inlet conditions of Carbon Capture plants are met, especially concerning the reduction of trace contaminants and gas conditioning. It combines all essential process steps of cooling/condensation and the customized configuration of a suitable gas cleaning line to address the specifics of the individual flue gases. Depending on the gas composition, a reduction of NOx, SOx, as well as particulate impurities and other components, is typically required.


Advantages of SETO gas pretreatment for Carbon Capture plants

The integration of SETO gas pretreatment with GEA Carbon Capture Technologies minimizes solvent degradation in the chemical absorption process, leading to decreased solvent consumption. In addition, it mitigates the risk of deposits in the CO2 capture system, resulting in significant reductions in maintenance costs. Advanced gas cleaning, which is essential for the removal of particulate emissions, protects the equipment and prevents secondary emissions.

SETO gas pretreatment enables reduced operating costs and ensures stable, reliable operation of the Carbon Capture system.


Challenges and solutions: Technical implementation of SETO gas pretreatment

The technical implementation of SETO gas pretreatment systems is tailored to the presence of specific pollutant traces that need to be removed, and to the entire gas flow to be treated.

The aim of SETO gas pretreatment is to efficiently fulfill the necessary gas purification tasks in a single step. Depending on specific needs, a range of devices like the flue gas condenser (FGC), direct contact cooler (DCC), wet electrostatic precipitator (wetESP), or cartridge filter systems (CFS) can be used.

Why SETO Gas Pre-Treatment?

Gas Pre-Treatment of the flue gas ensures that the necessary inlet conditions of carbon capture plants are met, especially regarding the reduction of trace contaminants and gas conditioning. SETO Gas Pre-Treatment combines all necessary process steps of cooling/condensation as well as the individual configuration of a suitable gas cleaning line to meet the specifics of the individual flue gases. Depending on the gas composition, a reduction of NOx, SOx as well as particulate impurities and other components is typically required.

Benefits of SETO Gas Pre-Treatment

The use of SETO Gas Pre-Treatment in combination with GEA Carbon Capture technologies reduces the decomposition of the solvent in the chemical absorption process, resulting in a lower solvent make-up requirement. In addition, the risk of deposits forming in the CO2 capture system is reduced, which has a significant impact on maintenance and costs. To protect the equipment and prevent secondary emissions, advanced gas cleaning to remove particulate emissions is an essential part of the gas pre-treatment system.

All in all, SETO Gas Pre-Treatment enables lower operating costs as well as stable and reliable operation of the Carbon Capture plant.

Technical implementation of SETO Gas Pre-Treatment

The technical implementation of SETO Gas Pre-Treatment systems is based on the presence of individual harmful trace compounds to be removed and on the total gas volume flow to be treated.

The aim of SETO Gas Pre-Treatment is to fulfil the required gas cleaning tasks in a single step if possible. Examples of implementation are, depending on the requirement profile, various apparatuses such as the flue gas condenser (FGC), direct contact cooler (DCC), wet electrostatic precipitator (wetESP) or cartridge filter systems (CFS).
