Integrated Carbon Capture Solutions
At Tanso Carbon, we position ourselves at the core step of the carbon value chain, bridging carbon removal and reuse. Our integrated solutions are designed to address diverse industrial challenges, leveraging advanced technologies to capture CO₂ emissions efficiently. Our tailored solutions combine innovation and practicality, helping industries achieve significant emission reductions while enabling circular carbon reuse.
Our six integrated solutions address the diverse needs of industrial applications. These include our advanced heat-integrated carbon capture using blended amines, ammonia-based combined CO₂ and SO₂ capture processes, and enhanced K₂CO₃ carbon capture with waste heat recovery. Supported by our R&DD consulting, process development, and TEA/LCA study services, we provide end-to-end expertise to help industries achieve scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable carbon management solutions tailored to their unique operational demands.
Solution #1: Advanced heat-integrated carbon capture process using blended amines
With extensive experience in blended amine-based carbon capture, our team has collaborated with leading institutions like Tsinghua University, CSIRO, University of Kentucky, and SINTEF to develop efficient and stable absorbent systems. We specialize in optimizing absorbents and processes through advanced simulations, enabling rapid iteration, feasibility analysis, and support for front-end engineering design (FEED).
Our adaptable solutions serve industries such as power plants, refineries, and steel mills. Leveraging heat integration technologies like waste heat recovery and thermal storage, we design energy-efficient systems that lower carbon capture costs. By combining multi-scenario flexibility with advanced energy optimization, our technology delivers cost-effective and scalable solutions.
Solution #2: Novel ammonia-based combined CO2 and SO2 capture process in industrial applications
Our team has extensive experience in ammonia-based carbon capture technology, having deeply participated in the development and pilot-scale testing of advanced ammonia processes with CSIRO, including building their first predictive model for ammonia-based carbon capture. To maximize the potential of ammonia solvent, we developed a novel combined CO₂ and SO₂ capture process, reducing FGD costs and producing valuable by-products.
Our expertise spans diverse scenarios, including coal-fired power plants (NOx, SO₂, and CO₂), chemical plants (SO₂, H₂S, and CO₂), biomass power plants (NOx, H₂S, and CO₂), and petroleum thermal recovery (H₂S and CO₂). We have built dozens of process simulation models for ammonia-based pollutant removal, enabling full-process development, feasibility studies, techno-economic analysis, and lifecycle assessments.
Solution #3: Enhanced hot K2CO3 carbon capture technology with industrial waste heat recovery
Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) is a low-cost, safe, and durable absorbent ideal for carbon capture. Our team has extensive experience with K₂CO₃-based carbon capture, including participating in U.S. DOE-funded projects on enzyme-catalyzed K₂CO₃ carbon capture system. With in-depth knowledge of the K₂CO₃-CO₂-H₂O system, we developed advanced processes combining elevated temperature and pressure to improve capture performance.
K₂CO₃ absorbents offer robust performance, avoiding the thermal and oxidative degradation issues of organic amines and eliminating problems with volatility and losses. Additionally, the flexible thermal potassium process utilizes low-grade waste heat and electricity, reducing dependence on high-quality steam. With expertise in scaling K₂CO₃ systems from pilot to million-ton levels, our team ensures its adaptability for diverse industrial applications.
