Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon Capture
Galloxol® stands out because it is modular, cost-efficient, and proven in real-world applications. Unlike one-size-fits-all systems, it can be tailored to specific plant sizes and gas compositions without losing efficiency. Operators also benefit from No solvent losses and predictable operating costs, which reduce long-term risks. Combined with full lifecycle support, Galloxol® provides a reliable and future-proof solution.
The CO₂ recovered with Galloxol® consistently meets food- and industrial-grade quality standards. This makes it suitable for use in carbonation, packaging, greenhouse enrichment, or as a renewable feedstock for e-fuels and methanol production. By turning emissions into a usable resource, operators can generate new revenue streams while reducing their environmental impact. The flexibility of applications adds both sustainability and business value.
Yes, Galloxol® is designed to scale to different plant sizes, from local biogas upgrading units to large industrial facilities. Its modular design allows smaller operators to benefit from the same high recovery rates and purity levels as large-scale sites. The system’s adaptability ensures cost-efficient performance even when feed gas compositions fluctuate. This makes it a practical option for both small and mid-sized operations aiming to reduce CO₂ emissions.
Not necessarily. Many mills start with pipeline sales to nearby users and add liquefaction once volumes and offtake contracts justify the CAPEX. We design tie-ins and hours-of-cover so a liquefier can drop in later with a short outage, reusing the same metering/QA chain, no re-engineering of the capture loop.
We design for either LOW-temp (≈95 °C) or HIGH-temp (≈140 °C) regeneration. You’ll need heat at the chosen level, cooling, instrument air, and electrical headroom sized to compression and auxiliaries. We provide a line-up early in FEED so facilities can plan connections and load.
Frequently Asked Questions
De-sulphurisation
We configure outlet ppm to your spec using dry polishing beds, absorbers, or a hybrid (lead-lag + polish) to keep levels steady, even during load swings. The result is a stable front-end for downstream carbon capture, CO₂ liquefaction, e-fuels production, chemical processing or biogas upgrading.
Holding a clean, dry gas protects solvents, membranes, and catalysts, extending service intervals and keeping your decarbonization solutions on-plan. Trend-based control and sampling make QA and changeouts predictable.
Sulphur corrodes equipment and poisons solvents, PSA beds, and biogas membrane elements. Upstream H₂S removal de-risks the entire train so each unit operates close to nameplate efficiency: fewer shutdowns, fewer surprises.
It’s also a cost issue: clean feed reduces solvent make-up, avoids premature media replacement, and protects cold ends in CO₂ recovery and liquefaction. Starting with sulphur control is a cornerstone of reliable industrial decarbonization.
We design for change on measured breakthrough, not on the calendar, so you only swap when you need to. Clear access, drains and sampling keep routines quick and safe.
Logs and alarms are aligned with your CMMS so planning is simple. That way, sulphur control supports, rather than distracts from, your core production goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Biogas Upgrading
We can deliver biomethane that meets EU pipeline injection standards and/or vehicle fuel specifications, depending on your target market. Our polishing steps remove moisture, siloxanes, H₂S, ammonia and other traces to align with legal limits. After commissioning, we verify quality via gas chromatographs and independent lab testing to ensure you meet required purity, Wobbe index, and methane content.
By beginning with thorough gas analysis and feedstock assessment, we understand the variability in your raw biogas (organic composition, moisture, contaminant levels). The system is configured with flexible pretreatment stages and modular separation options that can adjust to these variations. Together with ongoing monitoring, you’ll get stable biomethane output even in changing conditions.
Payback periods generally range from 2 to 5 years, depending on biogas flow, local energy costs, and desired gas specifications. Operating costs are carefully managed via low maintenance design, durable components, and minimal chemical/solvent use in pretreatment or polishing. Savings also come from reduced waste management costs (less emissions, fewer backups) and from premium pricing of purified biomethane.
Frequently Asked Questions
Galloxol®
Yes. Galloxol® connects to existing exhaust paths from CHP, biomass boilers or geothermal plants, so you’re not redesigning your utility island to get started. The modular skid format and compact plot needs keep service access clear and tie-ins straightforward, which reduces outage windows and disruption.
Because the process uses advanced heat integration, it takes advantage of available site energy and lowers dependence on external heat. That translates into lower operating cost and a smoother commissioning curve than generic amine retrofits.
Galloxol® uses a biodegradable, non-toxic solvent with zero vapour pressure. Your brochures explicitly state “No traces of chemicals in the atmosphere and CO₂,” which is why QA acceptance is easier than with volatile amines. In plain terms: the capture chemistry is designed to keep solvent out of the product stream.
Operationally, you’ll pair routine sampling with trend logs near the skid and use-points to maintain traceability. This shortens investigations and supports audits without adding complicated operator routines. (The quality promise hinges on the solvent’s non-volatility, not on constant polishing.)
Yes. The system is modular, so you can phase capacity and downstream equipment over time rather than over-invest on day one. Standard module bands cover ≈0.5–5 t/h (500–5,000 kg/h), which makes it natural to stage growth and keep the same control philosophy as volumes rise.
Many sites begin with a gaseous buffer for simplicity and add liquefaction later to increase on-site inventory or move CO₂ between buildings. That path protects cash flow and avoids stranded assets while you prove demand and offtake patterns.
Unlike generic amines, Galloxol®’s solvent is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, so there are no harmful solvent emissions and no solvent traces in product CO₂. That reduces environmental burden and simplifies compliance work compared with volatile amines.
Energy use is held down by high thermal efficiency with heat recovery and by avoiding solvent loss. Together, those factors underpin the low OPEX positioning you use in sales materials.
Yes. Your brochures list multiple operational systems in NL/DE/IT since 2019 and explicitly state a “Proven & Reliable Solution with Performance Guarantee.” Those references demonstrate scalability and de-risk first projects.
Named examples include DES B.V. (2019), Wijnen Crops B.V. (2021), FNXP LNG (2022), EmsFlower GmbH (pre-conditioning) and Merschl Gartenbau GmbH (operational by end 2025). Include the subset most relevant to your prospect’s sector on the page.
Galloxol® is offered in modular capacity bands of ~500 to 5,000 kg CO₂ per hour per train. That makes it easy to match current demand and expand later without rewriting SOPs or re-training operators.
As loads grow, you add trains or increase downstream storage rather than swapping the whole platform. The control approach and maintenance model remain consistent, so growth is a planned project—not a disruptive rebuild.
Frequently Asked Questions
Laminol®
We configure outlet ppm-level targets to your specs and hold them steady with lead–lag vessels or a polish stage. That protects solvents, membranes and catalysts and stabilises downstream OPEX and uptime.
Laminol® runs at low pressure using a biodegradable, recirculated scrubbing fluid and is engineered to ride through H₂S peaks with a constant output concentration, so without pushing problems downstream.
Sulphur handling is defined with EHS up front (regeneration and disposal options), so the front-end remains robust across operating conditions.
We offer regenerative scrubbing as the core (Laminol®), with optional dry-media polish or hybrid lead–lag where duty or outlet specs require a tighter operating window. The choice depends on flow, moisture and service preferences, and is designed to meet availability and cost targets.
Hybrids add resilience to swings and simplify scheduling by catching short transients while keeping the scrubber’s OPEX predictable. We’ll propose the least-complex path that still protects capture or biogas upgrading assets.
Change on measured breakthrough, not calendar dates. Online H₂S analysis and fixed sampling points guide swap timing, which minimises downtime and consumable waste while keeping outlet quality inside limits.
Planned service windows and clear access points keep interventions quick and safe. The result is predictable OPEX and high availability for the units downstream.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hybrisol®
Short answer: No. Hybrisol®’s absorption chemistry neutralises/removes NH₃ in the liquid phase, so normal NH₃ swings don’t push you off spec. By contrast, membrane trains typically require ammonia removal upstream to protect membranes and limit slip. This is a major reason Hybrisol® keeps pre-treat right-sized.
Not typically. Because Hybrisol® co-handles VOCs and terpenes inside the absorber and is tolerant to variation, upstream polishing is tailored to your case. Often not needed or if needed it can run with fewer changeouts and lower consumables over the year. This is based on experience across different industry but each application should be carefully considered before full scale deployment.
Absorption removes H₂O with CO₂, delivering a low dew point stream. In comparable absorption schemes, water can be reduced to trace levels, which often minimises or removes the need for a separate refrigeration dryer. Your final dryer choice depends on grid spec and climate, but the absorber already does most of the drying work.
Hybrisol® targets low slip in the main step. Membranes and PSA frequently show medium/high slip, then add modules to recover it. That extra recovery hardware increases complexity and can raise OPEX. Hybrisol®’s approach keeps product in the pipeline and reduces flare hours.
Yes, modules are sized to duty, with parallel trains for expansion and turn-down. Comparative CAPEX scaling helps pick the right layout for 250–1000+ Nm³/h classes and beyond; we engineer to your spec, utilities and footprint.
Frequently Asked Questions
Flue Gas Condenser
Class-dependent designs cover inlets from below ~250 °C up to around 1,300 °C. Low/medium-temperature classes use stainless wetted parts; high-temperature classes add refractory linings and specialist alloys. Every project is validated by a site survey so materials and thermal margins match your real duty.
Recovered heat is transferred via plate or shell-and-tube exchangers to three common sinks: combustion-air preheat, hot-water/steam loops and district-heating circuits. Controls prioritise process stability and hold safe approach temperatures to prevent condensation where it shouldn’t occur. Buffer volumes handle short transients without tripping export.
High-efficiency demisters, proper drainage geometry and continuous ΔP monitoring minimise carry-over. Condensate handling includes neutralisation/segregation per site practice. Materials (316L/duplex/Alloy) are selected for expected acid/salt loads; clean-in-place/self-cleaning features reduce fouling and service time.
Each train needs electrical power for pumps/fans/controls, make-up water for quench and, where specified, cooling water or dry coolers. Trains are skid-based with compact footprints and defined service clearances. We supply a one-page utilities and layout sheet with your proposal.
The train is designed to respect your draft margin. Pressure-drop budgets are set during sizing; options include low-ΔP internals and geometry that protect ID fans. We review transients (start-up, bypass, upset) to ensure you remain within safe operating windows.
Outlet temperature, dew point and carry-over limits are matched to the absorber/capture vendor’s requirements. Conditioning at the front end stabilises capture set-points, reduces solvent degradation risk and lowers downstream maintenance.
Energy Recovery can target multiple waste streams: flue gas heat, exhaust heat, cooling water, pressure drop (such as in exhaust or biogas expansion), and condensate heat. Each stream has different temperature/flow profiles, which determine the type of recovery module used (e.g. condensers, heat exchangers, quench systems).
Yes, even smaller plants with modest or “low-grade” heat can benefit. Systems can be sized for lower temperature waste streams, and multiple smaller recoveries combined to make meaningful gains. It’s often more about cooling duty available, scale and cost fit than raw potential, many plants have untapped low-temp heat that is currently vented.
While payback depends on waste heat volume, temperature, and local energy/fuel costs, many installations see a payback in 2–5 years. After that, energy savings go straight to the bottom line. Benefits also include reduced emissions costs, potential incentives/subsidies, and improved ESG reporting, which together enhance ROI beyond purely financial returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
CO₂ Liquefaction System
No, because liquefaction operates after the purification and conditioning stages, the CO₂ is already clean, dry, and meets required specifications. Tanks and transfer lines are sealed and insulated, with sampling points for quality checks at inlet, tank, and load-out. Safety interlocks, pressure control and monitoring ensure that any off-spec or fault conditions are caught early.
Liquefaction is especially beneficial where storage footprint is limited, multiple usage points exist, or when usage is intermittent. If your CO₂ demand fluctuates (daily or weekly peaks) or you have off-site transfer requirements, a liquefaction module improves efficiency and supply reliability. ROI is stronger when external delivery costs are high or when space and safety constraints make gaseous buffers impractical.
There is added CAPEX for liquefaction, storage tanks, insulation, refrigeration or cooling, and safety systems. However, these are balanced by reduced transport and delivery expenses, lower maintenance on buffer systems, fewer emergency purchases, and more stable operation. Many users find payback within 2-5 years, depending on scale, demand profile, transport costs and local energy prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Horticulture
Yes. The platform is modular: add capture trains, storage and distribution capacity as you scale. This avoids stranded assets and keeps capex releases tied to yield.
We’ll model energy, seasonality and enrichment windows so expansions remain efficient and predictable.
Most growers begin with a gaseous buffer. You can add CO₂ liquefaction later to concentrate storage or feed multiple houses from a compact tank, depending on acreage and layout.
We align capture supply with light hours and vent strategy to minimise losses and stabilise ppm, a practical way to turn carbon capture into consistent agronomic benefit.
Yes. Dosing follows your climate schedule so ppm is delivered when plants can use it, and curtailed when vents open to limit loss. Controls integrate with your EMS/EMS-like system.
This makes on-site CO₂ recovery a reliable input to yield planning rather than a variable to manage daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Food & Packaging
Yes. Stable pressure, composition, and dryness help maintain headspace ratios and reduce pack collapse or fogging, common causes of rework. Inline limits and documented sampling create traceability that simplifies audits.
Because you control the source and buffers, you’re less exposed to market disruptions. It’s a quality and resilience upgrade in one decarbonisation step, without adding complexity to operators’ routines.
Absolutely. Routing and materials respect hygiene zoning with appropriate seals, valves, and cleanable surfaces. Sampling points are positioned outside high-risk areas to streamline procedures and minimise traffic in zones A/B.
We supply cleaning instructions and verification templates so operators can maintain standards without extra admin burden. The result is consistent practice shift-to-shift and smoother audit days.
Yes. Pressure and dryness control support tunnels and rooms with steadier recipes, so frosting and moisture pickup stay inside limits. We align delivery with line speeds and shift patterns to keep conditions predictable as volumes vary.
This control philosophy keeps energy use and product quality in balance. You set the envelope once; the system holds it through start-ups, changeovers, and peak demand.
We condition the CO₂ to your internal specifications for composition, pressure, and dew point so it behaves predictably at carbonation skids, MAP mixers, and neutralisation points. Inline analysers monitor limits continuously, and fixed sampling points near the skid and use-points provide audit-ready lab checks.
Pressure control and drying are sized for your line speeds and peak loads. That way, you avoid drift in headspace ratios, foaming events on fillers, and slow pH corrections after CIP or changeovers.
The capture loop is sealed and designed to avoid vapour-phase solvent carry-over. Pre-conditioning and polishing stages remove particulates and moisture, and optional sterile gas filters can be placed near sensitive use-points.
Materials, seals, and routing respect hygiene zoning, with sampling and drains located outside high-risk zones. This reduces the chance of cross-contamination and makes cleaning verification straightforward.
What operators notice most is stability. With consistent pressure and dryness, bubble volumes repeat from batch to batch, and you avoid the over-carbonation/under-carbonation swings that trigger rework.
Because the system holds conditions through start-ups and ramp changes, you spend less time trimming set-points on the filler and more time at rate. QA sees fewer deviations tied to CO₂ variability.
Yes. Stable pressure and low moisture help exclude oxygen and keep tanks consistently blanketed during transfers and temperature swings. Where recipes demand it, we can add sterile filtration at the use-point.
Blanketing and inerting benefit from the same buffer and control philosophy that serves carbonation and MAP. You set the envelope once; the system holds it across shifts and campaigns.
We align sampling locations, test frequencies, and acceptance limits with your HACCP plan. Inline analyser trends and batch-aligned reports make traceability easy to demonstrate to auditors.
Corrective actions are pre-defined: if a limit drifts, operators have a clear checklist (verify, isolate, resample, release/hold). That keeps non-conformances tight and recoveries quick.
Dual-supply arrangements are common: the on-site system is primary, with an auto-changeover manifold to a back-up source (e.g., delivered CO₂) for resilience. Alarmed levels and pressure interlocks help you switch cleanly without shocking downstream users.
Buffers are sized to ride through short upsets and planned outages. For longer events, procedures specify when to change source and how to resume without compromising QA evidence.
The train executes a safe shutdown and protects product quality with isolation, pressure relief, and alarmed levels. The buffer maintains supply for a defined period so production can finish critical steps or move to back-up calmly.
On restart, the sequence re-establishes pressure, temperature and dryness before releasing to process. Operators follow a short checklist; QA receives a time-stamped continuity trail.
Yes. If you add liquefaction, you gain compact storage and the option to feed a pelletiser or dry-ice machine. That supports blast tunnels, cold rooms, and transport coolers with fewer third-party deliveries.
Because liquid and gas share the same quality backbone, you keep one control philosophy and one set of records. Inventory is managed with level alarms, changeover logic, and a routine checklist.
Modules are prefabricated, so most work is off-site. On site, we prepare foundations, pipework, and tie-ins during low-risk windows. Cut-over is planned for a short outage, with isolation/bypass so critical lines remain protected.
Commissioning includes performance tests and operator training. Your teams get SOPs, alarm settings, and sampling procedures so the plant returns to rate quickly and stays audit-ready.
OPEX is driven by energy, consumables (e.g., filters), and planned service. Kept predictable by heat-smart operation and breakthrough-based changeouts where polish stages are used. No emergency expediting, no guessing at inventories.
Maintenance is scheduled during existing windows. Clear access, spare kits, and simple inspection points keep interventions short. Trend-based service extends component life while protecting product quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Beverage industry
Yes. We align sampling plans, trend logs, and certificate packs with your beverage QA standards and HACCP. Tie-ins use hygiene-appropriate routing and materials, and we place fixed sampling points where technicians can verify lots without creating extra foot traffic in high-risk zones.
All records (limits, alarms, samples) are batch- or campaign-aligned and exportable for audits, so deviations are easy to pinpoint and close. You gain transparency without adding manual admin to the line.
Yes. A priority/blending header with automatic switchover manages the preferred source while holding pressure and set-points steady for the filler and MAP mixers. Interlocks and alarms prevent pressure shocks, and trend logs document the blend for full traceability.
This hybrid approach lets you maximise internal recovery when available and rely on capture as a stable, spec-consistent baseline. QA sees one coherent evidence trail, even as the supply mix changes through the shift.
Stable pressure, composition, and dryness keep dissolved CO₂ and headspace dosing in band, which reduces fobbing, underfill/overfill, and hold events. Lines recover to set-point faster after CIP and changeovers, so operators spend less time trimming and more time at rate.
Because you’re not dependent on deliveries, planning is calmer and more resilient. It’s both a quality lever (repeatable taste/foam) and a logistics lever (fewer emergency drop-ins), which protects throughput and first-pass yield.
We set pressure, composition and dryness (dew point) to your internal limits and verify with inline analysers plus fixed sampling points. That keeps carbonation and headspace dosing predictable at the filler and on MAP lines.
Results are logged by batch or campaign so QA can trace any deviation quickly. Acceptance criteria and test frequency align with your existing SOPs/HACCP.
Most beverage sites start with a gaseous buffer for fillers and MAP; we add liquefaction where footprint is tight or multiple halls need compact inventory. Liquid storage also supports long pipe runs without pressure swings.
If you need dry ice for cold-chain, the same quality backbone can feed a pelletiser. Inventory levels and alarms keep production and logistics synced during promotions and seasonal peaks.
A priority/blending header with automatic changeover holds set-points if the primary source dips. You can keep a delivered backup tied in behind interlocks, so the switch is smooth and traceable.
Buffers are sized to ride through short upsets and planned work. For longer events, the switchover procedure and restart checklist protect QA evidence and line speed.
Tie-ins and routing respect hygiene zones, with cleanable materials, appropriate seals and minimal crossings of high-risk areas. Sampling is placed outside sensitive zones to reduce traffic where it matters.
Safety provisions include gas detection, ventilation, relief/isolations and alarmed levels. We document these in the handover pack so EHS can close permits and drills without extra admin.
Skids are compact and planned for clear service access; we’ll give you typical weights, pad sizes and aisle clearances for layout review. Acoustic enclosures and placement keep noise within your site limits.
Utilities are standard (power, cooling, steam/hot water as applicable). We’ll confirm tie-in points and peak/average loads so Facilities can plan without surprises.
OPEX is mainly energy and consumables (filters/polish where used). Heat-smart operation and data-based changeouts keep monthly costs predictable and avoid rush fees.
Maintenance is set to your windows: inspection points are accessible, and spare kits are kitted. Trends guide interventions, so you protect outlet quality without over-servicing.
Most work is pre-fabricated. On site we complete tie-ins, prove interlocks and run performance tests against your spec. We train operators on start/stop, sampling and basic troubleshooting.
Handover includes SOPs, alarm limits and a restart checklist after CIP/changeover. The goal is a short cut-over and a quick return to planned line speed, with QA evidence ready from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical Industry
Sampling points and online analysers are time-aligned to batches or campaigns, so deviations are easy to investigate. We log pressure, temperature, dew point and key limits continuously, and surface alarms with timestamps and operator notes.
Exports drop into your QA/LIMS with minimal editing. That transparency helps process engineers correlate quality with production events, accelerating root-cause analysis and closing non-conformances faster.
We set pressure, composition and dew point to your internal limits and verify with online analysers plus fixed sampling points. This keeps synthesis feeds and neutralisation steps predictable, reducing tweak time and pH drift.
Results are logged by batch or campaign and exported to your QA/LIMS, so acceptance and investigations use the same evidence trail without extra paperwork.
Sampling ports and online analysers are time-aligned to batches/campaigns, with alarms and operator notes preserved. That makes deviations easy to locate in time and tie back to upstream events.
Exports follow your naming and frequency conventions, so QA and process engineering can correlate quality with production changes and close non-conformances faster.
If sulphur is present, yes. Front-end H₂S removal (e.g., Laminol® with optional lead–lag polish) protects membranes, cold ends and catalysts while keeping outlet ppm steady through changeouts.
This prevents downstream solvent/media surprises and simplifies permits and waste handling because the sulphur path is defined up front.
Yes. Buffers and stable conditioning keep flow, pressure and dew point within limits, even through short upstream trips. We size inventory to your minimum on-stream rate and configure auto-changeover where needed.
Continuity protects conversion and pH stability. Operators follow a short restart checklist; QA sees one uninterrupted evidence trail.
Most sites use a gaseous buffer for reactors and neutralisation; we add liquefaction when footprint is tight, transfer distances are long, or compact inventory is required. Both formats share the same quality backbone.
Switching is managed with interlocks and alarms so set-points remain stable. Inventory levels and changeover logic are visible on HMI/SCADA for proactive planning.
A priority/blending header keeps the preferred source active and changes over automatically if it dips, holding pressure to your set-points. A delivered back-up can sit behind interlocks for resilience.
Buffers are sized to ride through short disturbances and planned work. For longer events, a switchover and restart checklist protects QA evidence and unit stability.
Tie-ins and routing respect plant zoning with suitable materials, seals and isolation. We provide gas detection, ventilation guidance and relief/lock-out points, documented in the handover pack.
Sampling points are placed away from high-risk areas to reduce traffic. Clear access and labelled valves keep routine checks fast and compliant with EHS procedures.
Skids are compact with clear service access; we supply pad sizes, aisle clearances and lift points for layout review. Acoustic options keep noise within site limits.
Utilities are standard (power, cooling, steam/hot water as applicable). We confirm peak/average loads and tie-in points so Facilities can provision without surprises.
OPEX is mainly energy and consumables (filters/polish where used). Heat-smart operation and data-based changeouts keep monthly costs predictable and avoid rush buys.
Maintenance fits your windows: accessible inspection points, kitted spares and trend-guided interventions protect outlet quality while minimising downtime.
We provide clean tag lists and signals for DCS/SCADA (pressures, temperatures, dew point, alarms, states) and standard exports for QA/LIMS. Batch/campaign IDs can be passed to align records.
This keeps operators on familiar HMIs and lets QA pull evidence without manual transcription, reducing admin and audit prep time.
The system logs the parameters you need for MRV (flow, purity proxies, uptime) and can produce batch/campaign summaries. We align formats with your reporting framework.
Where credit schemes apply, data supports eligibility; actual issuance depends on programme rules and verification. The same logs serve internal ESG and external audits.
Much of the system is prefabricated. On site we complete tie-ins, prove interlocks and run performance tests against your spec.
Training covers start/stop, sampling and troubleshooting. Handover includes SOPs, alarm limits and restart checklists so the unit returns to rate quickly after maintenance.
Modules cover ~0.5–5 t/h per train; you scale by adding trains and storage without rewriting SOPs. Controls and maintenance philosophy stay consistent.
Staged growth aligns capex with demand and avoids the disruption of full platform swaps. Operators see the same screens and procedures as capacity increases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Construction Materials
Deliveries often introduce variability: delays, fluctuating purity, or limited storage capacity can cause curing cycles to run off-spec. On-site capture provides a steady, controlled CO₂ stream that matches your chamber profile exactly. This stability reduces waste, improves early strength development, and helps maintain consistent production schedules. It also eliminates the need to buffer operations around vendor truck arrivals.
Yes. The system purifies CO₂ by removing moisture, sulphur, particulates, and other impurities that could otherwise affect curing performance or material durability. Quality is monitored with sensors and sampling points to ensure compliance with curing specifications and certifications. This means every batch of blocks, panels, or precast components receives the same high-quality CO₂ exposure, with full traceability for audits.
Most operators see a return on investment within 2–5 years. Savings come from avoiding cylinder purchases, lowering delivery logistics, reducing downtime, and reusing recovered energy when combined with flue-gas integration. The modular design also means you don’t overspend up front; capacity can be added over time as curing demand grows. After payback, the system continues delivering long-term operational savings and sustainability benefits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Alternative Fuels
Synthetic methane/methanol and formate production are among the more technologically mature options, particularly where renewable hydrogen is available. Although not yet broadly deployed at gigaton scale, pilots and early commercial plants show promising economics and regulatory setups.
Very high standards. Moisture, oxygen, sulfur, particulates must be minimized to avoid catalyst poisoning or side reactions. Purification steps and frequent sampling are essential; we typically aim for ≥ 99% CO₂, very low water dew point, and controlled impurity levels aligned with fuel pathway requirements.
Alternative fuel conversion tends to be energy‐intensive. Efficiency depends heavily on the source of hydrogen (green vs grey), electricity carbon intensity, and CO₂ conditioning. However, when powered by renewable energy, the life-cycle emissions of e-fuels or synthetic fuels can be significantly lower than fossil equivalents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dry Ice
Often yes, site and tariff dependent. Delivered CO₂ pricing embeds liquefaction electricity, hub scarcity premiums, and trucking distance/time, so €/t can swing seasonally. On-site capture shifts spend toward production cost (heat + compression), which is more controllable with your utilities, giving steadier €/t through the year.
We model your historic tanker prices, transport distance, electricity/heat tariffs, and operating profile to size the capture train, buffer and liquefier. The result is an €/t curve across loads and ambient conditions, so finance can plan margin and payback with realistic sensitivity bands.
Yes. We design for ≥99% CO₂ with very low moisture to protect equipment and meet the QA expectations of food/pharma logistics. Because Galloxol® has zero vapour pressure, there is no solvent carry-over into the product CO₂-important for hygiene, odour control and regulatory confidence.
Inline instruments log purity, moisture and temperature with timestamps; batch or shift certificates can be issued automatically. If a customer requests tighter specs (e.g., deeper dryness), we set the target at design and verify it in commissioning.
Yes. We tie into existing liquefiers, storage tanks and pelletisers/block presses, and align control interlocks so capture, liquefaction and solidification work as one coordinated system. A few-hours buffer decouples capture from pelletiser peaks and truck schedules, preventing starve/overflow cycles.
Pressure control, de-watering and anti-slug logic protect compressors, pumps and valves. We also expose set points to your plant DCS so operators can see status and alarms in the same HMI they already use.
Stable CHP/boiler exhausts with predictable load and available heat are ideal. During site assessment we measure CO₂ %, O₂, NOx/SOx, particulates, temperature and flow, then specify pre-conditioning (temperature trim, particulate/acid-gas control, condensate management) to keep the absorber at steady set points.
If your source has known swings (e.g., load following), the capture column and buffer are sized for turndown so purity and moisture hold through the day. Where you have multiple sources, we can manifold them with isolation and flow control to maintain stability.
Two routes: sell CO₂ (gas or liquid) to nearby users to create an extra revenue stream, or store it permanently underground (where storage and credit schemes exist) to generate carbon credits. We’ll design the split, metering and QA so you can monetise either path without complicating operations.
That’s exactly why we include a buffer. It smooths short-term mismatches between capture and solidification/dispatch so pelletisers can run at a steady rate even when demand or logistics shift. Operators set simple rules (e.g., outlet priority, minimum buffer level) and the system controls flows accordingly.
For truck loading, batch metering and QA certificates are generated per fill. If loading pauses, the buffer holds product and the capture loop adjusts within its turndown range—no need to chase the process minute-to-minute.
Frequently Asked Questions
District Heating
Yes. Galloxol® uses a non-hazardous, biocompatible solvent with zero vapour pressure, so there is no solvent carry-over into the product CO₂ or the surrounding air. That property eliminates the fugitive-emission concern you’d have with volatile chemistries and simplifies the safety case for urban sites.
For siting in residential areas, the package includes acoustic enclosures, silencers, and clear access/lifting plans. We place equipment to minimise line-of-sight noise and visual impact (e.g., behind existing buildings or screens) and design secondary containment and drain management to meet local environmental expectations. A HAZOP/LOPA (site-dependent) and startup procedures are provided to align with your utility’s safety management system.
Not necessarily. Many producers start by piping CO₂ to nearby users and add a liquefier once volumes justify the CAPEX. We design tie-ins and control points up front so a liquefier drops in later with a short outage and without reworking the capture controls.
When you add liquefaction, we scale tankage to your shipping cadence and install custody-grade metering and batch QA. That staged approach lets you prove €/t and uptime first, then expand into regional sales at lower risk.
Where a recognised framework and storage partner exist, routing a portion of captured CO₂ to permanent storage can earn credits. To support claims, we provide metered splits (pipeline / liquid / storage), mass-balance reporting, and QA logs (purity, moisture, timestamps) as part of an MRV-ready data pack.
Practically, we work with your team to define the baseline, the fraction stored, and any chain-of-custody documentation the registry requires. That way, sales to local industry and storage for credits can run in parallel without complicating day-to-day operations.
The system is delivered as modular skids with compact footprints suitable for urban plots. We plan equipment placement, walkways, and craning routes up front so installation and future maintenance are straightforward. Enclosures and acoustic treatments are selected to meet your local noise limits, and we position intakes/outlets to reduce propagation toward sensitive receptors.
If the site prefers a clean street view, we can package major components in low-profile housings or behind existing structures. The layout includes service clearances, drain/utility tie-ins, and screening to satisfy both engineering and neighbourhood expectations.
OPEX is driven mainly by regeneration heat and compression work. With heat-integration and sensible compressor ratios, specific energy per tonne is predictable. Where low-grade heat is available (CHP/district heating), the LOW-temp configuration further reduces exposure to electricity price swings.
Maintenance focuses on filters, pumps/compressors and instrumentation. The solvent has no vapour losses, so there’s no continuous top-up for evaporation. We provide planned-maintenance intervals, a critical-spares list and remote monitoring hooks so your team can manage the plant inside normal shift routines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Waste to energy
Yes. The capture loop uses Galloxol®, a non-hazardous solvent that does not enter a vapour phase, so there is no solvent entrainment to air or product CO₂. Packages include acoustic treatments, enclosures and screening suitable for neighbourhood plots. For permitting, we supply HAZOP/LOPA (site-dependent) and environmental notes aligned with urban standards, plus startup/shutdown procedures to slot into your HSE system.
The tie-in is post-APC and operates at modest pressure/temperature, so the incineration/steam cycle remains the driver for heat and power. Feed conditioning and a small CO₂ buffer prevent capture trips from propagating upstream. In practice, you maintain heat service while converting stack CO₂ into a metered product you can sell or store.
Not necessarily. Many WtE sites start with local pipeline sales and add a liquefier when volumes and offtake contracts justify the CAPEX. We design tie-ins and hours-of-cover so a liquefier can drop in later with a short outage, reusing the same metering/QA chain for clean invoicing.
Where a storage partner and recognised framework exist, routing a portion of captured CO₂ to permanent storage can generate credits. We provide metered splits, QA certificates and automated mass-balance so your MRV package is audit-ready. Sales to local industry and storage for credits can run in parallel without complicating day-to-day operations.
Trains are modular skids with compact footprints. We plan service clearances, walkways and craning routes up front, and specify silencers/enclosures based on local noise limits. Equipment placement and screening reduce line-of-sight propagation, keeping neighbourhood impact low and easing approvals.
Most buyers ask for ≥99% CO₂ with very low moisture. Inline instrumentation logs purity/moisture with timestamps, producing batch or allocation certificates for each outlet. Clean, dry CO₂ protects downstream equipment, shortens audits, and supports food-adjacent or industrial users that demand consistency.
Operating cost is driven mainly by regeneration heat and compression. Heat integration plus sensible pressure ratios stabilise energy per tonne. Choosing HIGH-temp vs LOW-temp lets you balance capture efficiency with the opportunity to reuse low-grade heat already on site, keeping €/t stable across seasons.
Yes. If your hub also digests organics, Hybrisol® upgrades biogas to biomethane, and the captured CO₂ from either line can share the same pipeline, liquefaction or storage outlets. Metering and QA are per stream, so contracts and claims remain straightforward.
Frequently Asked Questions
Paper & Pulp
Galloxol® ties into the lime-kiln flue gas downstream of existing air-pollution control (ESP or wet scrubber) and typically after the ID fan. This intercepts a high-CO₂ stream without touching the white-/green-liquor cycle, so your recausticizing chemistry and the CaCO₃ ↔ CaO loop remain unchanged.
Standard connections include a duct branch with isolation/bypass dampers, utilities (steam/heat, electricity, cooling), and DCS interfaces for alarms and interlocks. The goal is to keep integration simple, outage windows short, and kiln reliability intact.
Design point is ~90% CO₂ capture at the kiln stack, with stable operation across normal mill load swings. Higher rates may be engineered case-by-case, but 90% provides a robust baseline for compliance and auditing while protecting uptime.
Product CO₂ is high-purity (≥99%) with low moisture. Conditioning and polishing options are available when buyers require tighter specs or when feeding a liquefier. Specs are set jointly with your offtake or storage pathway so the same capture core can serve multiple outlets.
Yes. You can sell CO₂ locally in gas form (short pipeline to nearby users) or liquefy it for trucked distribution to regional customers. Both routes transform a former emission into an additional income stream alongside your primary energy source.
If your strategy favors sequestration, the same CO₂ can be sent to underground storage to generate carbon-credit revenue where programs allow. Many mills hedge by enabling both: near-term liquid sales while preparing for storage credits as policy and infrastructure mature.
You can run in HIGH-temperature mode to maximize thermal integration with available process heat, or in LOW-temperature mode to reuse low-grade or renewable heat on site. Both modes are designed to keep €/t CO₂ predictable and to track energy tariff changes without shocks.
The solvent loop is sealed and non-volatile (no vapour phase), reducing make-up consumption and protecting product purity. Compression and utilities are sized for kiln realities; optional modules (like liquefaction) can be added later without disturbing the capture energy balance.
Brownfield pulp & paper sites are tight and often near towns. The system uses compact, craneable skids, acoustic enclosures, and visual screening to meet noise and sightline limits while fitting around pipe bridges and existing buildings.
Chemistry choices simplify permitting: with no vapour-phase solvent, there’s negligible solvent carry-over and a clear safety case. Drain segregation, monitored sumps, and best-practice ventilation are baked in so neighborhood expectations and waterway sensitivities are respected.
Capture trains include bypass and isolation so the kiln can run (or stop) independently. During planned outages, modules are designed for quick lock-out/tag-out; during unplanned trips, the system goes to a safe state without creating back-pressure or knock-on effects.
On restart, warm-up routines and analyzer checks are automated to return to spec quickly. Wear parts and inspection points are accessible so typical shutdown durations cover both kiln and capture maintenance with minimal added downtime.
Galloxol® provides audit-ready MRV with inline flow/analyzers and automated mass-balance from kiln flue → capture → outlet. You get time-stamped datasets and reports suitable for environmental regulators, customers, and internal ESG disclosures.
Data export plugs into your historian and reporting tools. For storage projects, documentation can align with carbon-credit methodologies, minimizing custom work and shortening verification cycles.
Yes. Hybrisol® upgrades biogas to biomethane and yields an additional CO₂ stream that can share the same outlets, short-pipe consumers, liquefaction for truck, or permanent storage. That means one platform covers kiln flue CO₂ and biogenic CO₂ together.
Combining sources improves utilization of downstream assets (e.g., a shared liquefier) and consolidates MRV. You scale abatement and revenue without duplicating infrastructure or databases.
The process uses a sealed loop with no vapour-phase solvent, which avoids entrainment and simplifies handling requirements. Product CO₂ is clean by design, and the capture area includes gas detection, ventilation, and clear access for operators.
Operating procedures and training mirror mill standards: confined-space protocols, hot-work permits, and LOTO. Consumables, waste streams, and spares are specified up front so EHS and procurement teams have predictable routines.
Projects progress through feasibility and offtake/storage selection, then front-end design, detailed engineering, fabrication, site preparation, installation, and commissioning. Early surveys confirm tie-ins (duct, utilities, DCS), plot fit, traffic/craning, and permitting scope.
Modularization keeps the on-site phase short. Most construction occurs off-site; on site you handle foundations, tie-ins, and setting skids. Commissioning includes performance testing, MRV validation, and operator training so you go live with audit-ready data from day one.
