Mobile Test Unit Design

The Mobile Test Unit is designed and constructed by SLB Capturi and the product has been operational since 2008. The Mobile Test Unit utilizes our Advanced Carbon Capture™ technology fully installed, meaning that results from test campaigns are scalable towards large scale plants. The Mobile Test Unit includes all functions as found in our large-scale systems, and is built for operation at a wide range of flue gases and locations. It consists of 6 units that can be easily transported for testing our CO₂ capture technology on actual sources of flue gas.

Rental

The Mobile Test Unit is not for sale, but offered as a service with plant, operators, transport, installation, test campaigns, analysis and decommissioning included. Our experienced operator team have been around the world testing on facilities in Europe and North America. The rental solution is transportable on road, rail and ship as all elements fit into ISO containers.

Risk reduction

Customers benefit from the Mobile Test Unit option when planning for large scale implementations. Most customers in the mid- and large-scale market for carbon capture do not see standard monoethanolamine (MEA) based solutions as an option. The ability to bring an exact replica of a proprietary large scale carbon capture plant which has been run in parallel for 2 years with a large scale plant at the Technology Center Mongstad (TCM), provides a completely different type of risk reduction in the planning of a large scale plant.

While SLB Capturi has used the Mobile Test Unit to qualify flue gas for the Advanced Carbon Capture™ process and develop full scale projects, our customers benefit from using this solution in their development and testing of new technology and solvents to reduce risk of large-scale implementation. We partner with research institutions such as SINTEF in the projects where we perform test campaigns.
