I-Shell ne-BASF bayasebenzisana ekubambeni nasekugcineni ikhabhoni

I-Shell ne-BASF bayasebenzisana ukusheshisa ukushintshela ezweni elingenayo igesi ekhishwayo. Ngenxa yalokhu, lezi zinkampani ezimbili zihlola ngokuhlanganyela, zinciphisa futhi zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-BASF bokudonswa kwe-Sorbead® bokudonswa kwe-carbon ukuze kubanjwe futhi kugcinwe i-carbon (CCS) ngaphambi nangemva kokusha. Ubuchwepheshe bokudonswa kwe-Sorbead busetshenziselwa ukudonswa kwegesi ye-CO2 ngemva kokuba ibanjwe ubuchwepheshe be-Shell bokudonswa kwe-carbon njenge-ADIP Ultra noma i-CANSOLV.
Ubuchwepheshe bokumunca bunezinzuzo eziningana zezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-CCS: I-Sorbead iyinto yejeli ye-aluminosilicate engamelani ne-asidi, inamandla aphezulu okumunca amanzi futhi ingavuselelwa emazingeni okushisa aphansi kune-alumina esebenzayo noma izisefo zama-molecule. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubuchwepheshe bokumunca be-Sorbead buqinisekisa ukuthi igesi elashwe kahle ayinayo i-glycol futhi ihlangabezana nezidingo eziqinile zombhobho kanye nokugcinwa komhlaba. Amakhasimende azuza futhi empilweni yesevisi ende, ukuguquguquka ku-inthanethi kanye negesi ehambisana kahle nencazelo ekuqaleni.
Ubuchwepheshe bokudonswa kwe-Sorbead manje sebufakiwe kuphothifoliyo yomkhiqizo we-Shell futhi busetshenziswa kumaphrojekthi amaningi e-CCS emhlabeni jikelele ngokuhambisana nesu le-Powering Progress. “I-BASF ne-Shell bebe nobambiswano oluhle kakhulu eminyakeni embalwa edlule futhi ngiyajabula ukubona esinye isitifiketi esiphumelelayo. I-BASF ihlonishwa ngokusekela i-Shell ekufinyeleleni ukukhishwa kwegesi okungenayo kanye nasemizamweni yayo yokuthuthukisa izimo zemvelo emhlabeni jikelele,” kusho uDkt. Detlef Ruff, iSekela likaMongameli Omkhulu we-Process Catalysts, i-BASF.
"Ukususa amanzi ngokwezomnotho ku-carbon dioxide kubalulekile empumelelweni yokubamba nokugcina i-carbon, kanti ubuchwepheshe be-BASF's Sorbead buhlinzeka ngesisombululo esisebenzayo. I-Shell iyajabula ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe sebuyatholakala ngaphakathi nokuthi i-BASF izosekela ukuqaliswa kwayo. "Lobu buchwepheshe," kusho uLaurie Motherwell, uMphathi Jikelele we-Shell Gas Treatment Technologies.
     
I-Marubeni kanye ne-Peru LNG basayine isivumelwano socwaningo esihlanganyelwe sokuqala ucwaningo lokuqala ngephrojekthi ePeru yokukhiqiza i-e-methane kusuka ku-hydrogen eluhlaza kanye ne-carbon dioxide.
