ATMI, SRI To Market CO2 Capture System

ATMI is partnering with SRI International to commercialize a new carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture system. Under a new marketing agreement, ATMI will lead commercialization efforts and engage potential development partners for rapid scale-up and commercial deployment of the systems.

The system combines ATMI's precision BrightBlack carbon adsorbent technology and a proprietary, adsorbent-based gas separation technology designed by SRI. The system can be used at coal or natural gas-fired power plants, and has demonstrated performance using flue gas typical of either coal or natural gas-fired power plants.

Laboratory, pilot and field tests have shown that BrightBlack carbon microbead adsorbents display positive physical adsorption characteristics for CO₂, with high capacity and low regeneration energy. It has consistently demonstrated CO₂ capture efficiencies greater than 90% with CO₂ purities as high as 99%.
