CO2 Compression – Evaluation of Technologies for CCUS

Event Overview

This webinar will review the primary compressor technologies for CCUS applications, including fundamentals, operating principles, how CO₂ mixtures affect compressor design, and considerations in selection. The technologies to be reviewed include reciprocating compressors, single-shaft/between-bearings centrifugal compressors, and integrally geared compressors.

Attendees will receive 2 Professional Development Hours (PDH) upon completion.

Course Objectives

• Understand the working principle behind each compressor concept and potential design changes for pure CO₂ and CO₂ mixtures.
• Evaluating the different compression routes and ads/disads for each, visualized on a Pressure/enthalpy diagram.
• Determine requirements for compressor packages for CCUS applications.
• What to include in a specification for compressor package, including turndown, gas cooling, material selection and performance testing.
• Ways to integrate a CO₂ capture process with a CCUS compressor package.

Who Should Attend

Industry developing engineers and operations team members, procurement specialists, operating companies evaluating CCUS projects.
