Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

Reducing greenhouse gas emission is one of the most debated global climate and environment issues in recent years. Capturing gas emission from the sources such as petrochemical plants, power plants and steel plants, ... etc. and storing it into underground reservoirs is a technology most governments around the world adapt to reduce CO2 emission in their regions. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technique has already been developed and commercialized in western countries for many years. LEWA API 675 process diaphragm pump is being used at an offshore gas field in Snøhvit, Norway for CO2 re-injection as shown to the right.

Many applications in energy and environment markets are confronting a highest demand for metering, conveying of critical, toxic, inflammable, or explosive fluids. LEWA metering pumps as well as process diaphragm pumps are especially suitable for such demands.

Subsea pipeline system (model)	Snøhvit is in the Barents Sea approx. 140kms northwest of Hammerfest in North Norway.

Two LEWA process diaphragm pumps for Snøhvit Project:    Fluid conveyed: dry CO2 Suction pressure: 60 bar  Discharge pressure: 216 bar Flow rate: 110 m³/hr (corresponds to aprox.  91.5 tons per hour)
