Mitigating The Impact Of Co2 Emissions
The use of fossil fuels contributes significantly to rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the Earth"s atmosphere - one of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect and the resulting climate change. Carbon capture technology aims to help curb the further increase of carbon dioxide and mitigate global warming.
Vacuum technology plays an important role in carbon capture (https://www.buschvacuum.com/global/en/applications/carbon-capture/) because it significantly increases the efficiency of the capture processes. There are two forms of carbon capture.
Industries with high CO2 emissions, such as power plants and steelworks, use carbon capture technologies to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. One such process is membrane separation, in which vacuum and overpressure are used to create a pressure gradient that increases the permeability of CO2 through a membrane. Membrane separation takes place in two stages to maximize the purity of the recovered CO2.
It is also possible to filter previously emitted carbon dioxide from the ambient air in a process known as direct air capture (DAC). Inside the collectors ...
... of a carbon capture system, fans draw in the air. This flows through adsorption filters that separate the carbon dioxide. It is necessary to lower the pressure to release, or desorb, the captured CO2 molecules again. Vacuum pumps are used here to reduce the pressure in the adsorption filter and allow the captured CO2 molecules to detach from the filter material (sorbent) and return to a gaseous state. This alternating process is called vacuum swing adsorption.
Vacuum pumps from our group are used for both industrial carbon capture and direct air capture. In industrial applications that require reliability and a contaminant-free environment, COBRA (https://www.buschvacuum.com/global/en/products/vacuum-pumps/screw/cobra-industry/) screw vacuum pumps from Busch are the ideal choice. MINK (https://www.buschvacuum.com/global/en/products/vacuum-pumps/claw/mink/) claw vacuum pumps offer a reliable and efficient solution for carbon capture thanks to their dry and contact-free operation. Okta 8000 G vacuum boosters from Pfeiffer are ideally suited for applications with high pressure differentials and can be operated without a backing pump.
Carbon capture storage or utilization
There are various solutions for using the extracted carbon dioxide. For example, it can be mixed with water and injected underground into rock, where it mineralizes and is thus permanently removed from the atmosphere.
A second option is the recycling of carbon dioxide (CCU - carbon capture and utilization). CO2 can be used as a fertilizer in greenhouses, for example, as it increases the yield of greenhouse plants. The beverage industry needs CO2 to carbonate drinks. In fire extinguishers, CO2 is stored in liquid form and used as an extinguishing agent. It displaces the oxygen and smothers the flames. In the chemical industry, CO2 is used to produce organic compounds. The Busch Group is one of the world"s largest manufacturers of vacuum pumps, vacuum systems, blowers, compressors and gas abatement systems. Under its umbrella, the group houses three well-known brands: Busch Vacuum Solutions, Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions and centrotherm clean solutions.
The extensive product and service portfolio includes solutions for vacuum, overpressure and abatement applications in all industries, such as food, semiconductors, analytics, chemicals and plastics. This also includes the design and construction of tailor-made vacuum systems and a worldwide service network.
The Busch Group is a family business that is managed by the Busch family. More than 8,000 employees in 44 countries worldwide work for the group. Busch is headquartered in Maulburg, Baden-Württemberg, in the tri-country region of Germany, France and Switzerland.
The Busch Group manufactures in its 19 own production plants in China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Romania, South Korea, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the USA and Vietnam.
The Busch Group has an annual consolidated revenue of close to 2 billion Euro.
