CO2 capture: Lhoist joins ArcelorMittal France, IFP Energies nouvelles, Axens and Total in the dinamX project

Coordinated by Axens, the four-year dinamX “Demonstration and Innovative Applications of the DMX™ Process” project was launched by partners ArcelorMittal France, IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN) and Total in 2020. Supported by the French Investments for the Future Program led by ADEME, dinamX is aimed at studying the application potential of DMX™ technology, stemming from IFPEN’s Research, for the decarbonization of blast furnace gases to new types of industrial CO₂ emitters.

TEG

Water absorption with TriEthylene Glycol (TEG) is a highly flexible, easily operable and cost-effective technology for the reliable dehydration of various types of gases. This process has already been implemented and is industrially proven on CO2 dehydration applications even in the presence of other acid gases such as H2S.

As compared to field proven TEG units on natural gases, TEG units on CO2 dehydration applications have to factor in particular characteristics such as corrosiveness, acid gases co-absorption and TEG recovery.

Axens know-how in the domain of CO2-H2O-TEG thermodynamics, metallurgy selection, process design and modularization expertise ensure our clients to obtain the best-in-class TEG unit for their CO2 drying applications.

AdvAmine™

CO2 capture on syngas can be achieved using mature technology such as EnergizedMDEA which is part of the AdvAmine portfolio. CO2 absorption on syngas is easily achieved as it is typically at high pressure and there is a large driving force to absorb the CO2 and the syngas is quite pure and does not contain any oxygen. Alternate regeneration schemes and energy integration can reduce the energy requirement.
