by Rocky Teodoro Rigzone Staff Monday, June 12, 2023 Carbon capture and storage (CCS) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will “play a key role in decarbonization” as companies execute plans on their net-zero emission targets, according to a recent report by S&P Global Ratings. In a sample of 25 of the highest-revenue oil and gas companies, …
CarbonFree CEO Martin Keighley gives a tour of its plant in San Antonio. CarbonFree has been capturing carbon dioxide since before carbon capture was cool. Since 2016, the company has captured flue gas from a cement plant in San Antonio, turning 50,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide into baking soda yearly. The so-called Sky-Mine produces …
Occidental Petroleum’s carbon capture project in West Texas is unveiled By Amanda Drane STAFF WRITER Photos by Elizabeth Conley/Staff photographer ECTOR COUNTY — Occidental Petroleum’s energy transition strategy came into sharper focus Friday as it kicked off construction of its first direct-air carbon capture hub in West Texas. The Houston oil giant, which …
A drilling derrick is part of the energy research project Deep Heat Mining in Switzerland. A few thousand feet below Texas’ sunbaked surface, sedimentary rock and gravel are superheated to hundreds of degrees by the earth’s magma. Geothermal energy flows every minute of every day, and for decades scientists have searched for a way to …
The oil and gas industry is slated to be a big beneficiary of carbon capture tax credits present in the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act. Talking about carbon capture projects used to be a bit more theoretical. Sure, polluting companies would say, we would love to deploy this technology on a large scale, but the …
In the wide-channel welded plate heat exchanger, the two-phase flow characteristics and the wall erosion in the channel with existence of cylindrical objects was studied. The finding shows that the liquid velocity around the cylindrical objects increases sharply and consequently the erosion on the plate surface surrounding the cylindrical object is accelerated, and the erosion …

Maximizing of alumina precipitation per liter of circulated liquor (liquor productivity or yield) is a key objective of an alumina refinery which reduces operating costs as the yield increases. An equally important KPI (key performance indicator) in alumina production is the hydrate strength which is critical to avoid high attrition (tendency of alumina to breakdown …
Based on the agglomeration, the hydromechanical and the thermodynamic mechanisms, the scaling characteristics of sodium aluminate solution on the heat transfer wall were explored. The performances of the wide-channel plate heat exchanger after scaling were investigated. With scaling on the surface, the heat transfer coefficient and the slurry flow rate would decrease, and the pump’s …
