Carbon Dioxide Recovery
ERA uses the latest absorption technology to recover carbon dioxide from combusion sources. Three primary applications of this technology are food grade liquid CO2 for the beverage bottling industry, liquid CO2 for tertiary recovery injection into oilwell fields, and collection of CO2 for sequestration to reduce greenhouse gases.
BEVERAGE BOTTLER SERVICES SYSTEM. B2S2, Beverage Bottler Services System, provides on-site electricity, carbon dioxide, hot water, and steam to bottler specifications. Powered by clean, economical natural gas, B2S2 will lower bottler costs of the provided services, and maximize reliability at the same time,using state of the art, proven technology designed, engineered, and developed by The Wittemann Company, with ERA. The vertically integrated B2S2 cogeneration equipment converts clean natural gas into electricity. The waste heat of power generation is recovered, and used to recover and purify carbon dioxide, steam, and hot water right at the bottler location. Nothing is wasted, leading to significant cost savings compared with individual service suppliers. The ERA team further backs up the guaranteed B2S2 equipment with balancing supply contracts from conventional CO2 suppliers, and the utility company for back-up electric power. Double redundant systems throughout assure the bottler of economical, reliable services. The B2S2 Solution.
TERTIARY RECOVERY IN OIL FIELDS WITH CO2. ERA can adapt carbon dioxide absorption recovery equipment to recover large volumes of CO2, liquefy it, ready for injection into aging oil well fields to enhance ultimate oil recovery. Higher crude oil prices now economically justify this technology application. This is a growing technique, and highly profitable in suitable areas. The location of a CO2 source, adaptation of the recovery equipment, and total CO2 system recovery design are available.
SEQUESTRATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. Many countries now require reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Large scale recovery of CO2 from combustion sources for underground sequestration is an emerging technique. ERA can design the CO2 recovery plan for recovery of CO2 for sequestration, whether or not oil recovery is involved.
