The Project
Design and manufacture a new carbon capture plant
Scope of work:
Richard Alan was approached by Jonathan Lee, a professor from Newcastle University, who proposed a concept for removing carbon from commercial exhaust fumes using innovative technology. Jonathan sought to establish a collaborative partnership with Richard Alan to develop the idea into a functional test skid capable of extracting one tonne of carbon per day.
Following the successful manufacture of a prototype, a consortium comprising of European universities and businesses was established to upscale the project to a 10-tonne-per-day test skid. The consortium subsequently applied for, and secured, a European grant to support this initiative.
Since then, Richard Alan and the consortium have continued to advance the concept toward a fully operational skid, as depicted in the images below. Richard Alan’s contributions include the design and manufacture of the skid and all associated equipment.
Specification
- European & UKRi grant of €5.3 million Euros
- Design, manufacture & delivery of the skid
- The system uses a unique™ flat bed absorbtion system to spearate the carbon
- The Skid has been designed with easy build and breakdown in mind, meaning it seperates into 10 x 40ft skids, ideal for transportation
- The carbon capture test skid will be taken to 3 European sites for testing and anaylsis of results.
A modular Carbon Capture Plant, extracting 10 tonnes per day of carbon from exhaust fumes.
