![]() ![]() The NCCC includes a post-combustion carbon capture facility that allows testing and integration of advanced technologies using actual coal-derived flue gas from an 880-MW pulverized coal unit at Alabama Power’s Plant in Gaston. The design capacity of the operation was up to 1.5 Megawatt-electric (MWe) and required less than 2.8 gigajoules of regeneration steam per metric ton of CO 2. Specifically, it captured more than 90 percent CO 2 from the flue gas while the purity of the CO 2 was more than 99.9 percent. Parametric and long-duration testing confirm the main performance targets set for the facility. The technology used during the pilot project integrates BASF’s advanced aqueous amine-based solvent and process technology, marketed by BASF under the OASE ® blue brand, with novel CO 2-capture process and engineering innovations developed by Linde. Based on the successful completion, BASF and Linde will begin larger-scale testing and explore commercial opportunities. Since January 2015, the project operated a pilot plant under a cooperative agreement with DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). Department of Energy (DOE) research facility managed and operated by Southern Company, in Wilsonville, AL. Pilot plant captures up to 30 tons of CO2 per day at more than 90 percent capture rate and at a CO2 purity of more than 99.9 percentįLORHAM PARK, NJ, and BRIDGEWATER, NJ – J– BASF, the world’s leading chemical company, and The Linde Group, a technology company, successfully completed a joint pilot project to improve capture of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) from flue gas at a coal fired power plant at the National Carbon Capture Center (NCCC). ![]()
