CO280 Solutions Inc. (CO280), a leading developer of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) projects, and a pulp and paper partner have successfully completed a field pilot to validate the performance of SLB Capturi’s liquid amine technology to capture biogenic CO2 from recovery boiler stack emissions at a pulp mill in the U.S. Gulf Coast.

SLB Capturi’s Mobile Test Unit (MTU) was installed at the mill site in Q3 2024 where it operated for more than 4,000 hours, achieving a consistent capture rate efficiency of 95%. During the test program, the MTU met all key performance indicators including capture rate efficiency, energy consumption, solvent durability, and absorber emissions. The pilot program also validated the performance of a flue gas pretreatment system designed to condition the flue gas before entering the carbon capture unit. The MTU has a rated design capacity of 3 tonnes per day.

“This MTU test campaign on recovery boiler stack emissions has been a huge success,” said Egil Fagerland, CEO of SLB Capturi. “The strong performance and results of the MTU at this mill validates all key process parameters and demonstrates that there are no technical barriers to deploying commercial-scale carbon capture plants. CO280 and SLB Capturi are now well-positioned to bring this proven solution to the pulp and paper industry.”
