Program Overview
It covers emerging and proven technologies used in the oil and gas and power industries, discussing their technical aspects and representative costs. The course is suitable for environmental staff, engineers, and professionals seeking a general understanding of CO2 capture as a GHG mitigation strategy.
Program Outline
CO2 capture is part of the CCUS chain - CO2 Capture, Utilization and Storage - wherein CO2 is prevented from entering the atmosphere by removing it from flue gas or other vent streams, transported to an appropriate location, and injected deep underground into secure geologic formations. CCUS is viewed as a key component of Green House Gas (GHG) mitigation by IEA, as part of a migration to long term, sustainable energy systems. The focus of applications reviewed is operations in the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry and the Power industry. The course material is general in nature, but is framed around process technologies for capture - most of which are used in the natural gas processing industry. The content does not cover compression and transport in detail.
Outline:
- Characteristics of Power Sector and O&G emissions in the context of CCS
- Review of drivers and restrainers to deployment of CCS

- Solvents - proven and emerging
- Alternative technologies - Adsorption and Membranes
- Studies and industrial demonstrations
- Review of Pre-Combustion Capture Technologies, Studies and Demonstrations
- Reforming for industrial fuel production - importance of scale & experience with H2 as fuel
- CO2 capture from Steam Methane Reformers (SMR) - what's old and what's new
- Operating industrial Pre-Combustion projects

- Special topic: NGCC and co-generation
- Review of all three approaches to capture applied to NGCC
- Operating CCS projects linked to natural gas processing and power generation
Other:
- The course is suitable for interested parties, such as environmental staff, facilities engineers, and gas processing engineers, including entry-level (1-2 year) engineers, or anyone interested in a general, technically-oriented overview of this approach to Greenhouse Gas (GHG) mitigation.
- The course is available in both In-Classroom and Virtual formats.
- The course is taught by Karl Gerdes.
- The course is available as a private, on-site seminar upon request.
