Premier Control Technologies Fluid Solutions
Global climate change is strongly influenced by the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere. Decades of industrial and individual use of fossil fuels have increases the Carbon levels effecting the atmosphere concentration of Carbon. Carbon capture can reduce the amount of carbon being added to the growing levels. It can even be used to “clean up” the existing levels of carbon already emitted to the atmosphere.
Currently research is growing rapidly in techniques to achieve carbon capture / carbon reduction long term. Unfortunately with research we have to start from the beginning and increase efficiency with more research over time. The drive to succeed is very much a global effort with Universities, Governments and the private sector all seeing this as a great opportunity to develop more efficient solutions and discover new pioneering solutions.
Carbon Taxes have resulted in the emitters of Carbon to look for solutions to avoid hefty charges. Below are some of the common applications and how our products are helping solve them.
Gas flow control is essential for maintaining absorber efficiency and preventing solvent degradation. In UK carbon capture plants, dynamic load changes demand fast-response mass flow controllers to stabilise CO₂ and flue gas streams. Accurate flow ensures optimal reaction kinetics, reduces energy waste, and supports compliance with emissions targets. Integration with SCADA systems enables real-time monitoring and automated adjustments, critical for large-scale and pilot installations.
Amine-based solvents require precise dosing to maintain concentration and efficiency. In UK plants, dosing errors can lead to increased energy consumption and off-spec solvent batches. Coriolis flow meters provide direct mass flow and density measurement, ensuring accurate dosing even with aggressive chemicals.
Slurry transfer is common in sorbent preparation and solvent reclaim processes. Low-shear pumping prevents particle damage and maintains slurry integrity. Peristaltic pumps offer quick tubing changes and hygienic operation, ideal for UK pilot and production plants.
Stable pressure control protects compressors and reduces energy costs. High-flow regulators and back-pressure devices maintain system balance during compression and dehydration stages.
Nitrogen purging prevents contamination and ensures safe maintenance. Accurate flow control reduces gas waste and improves safety compliance.
Chemical scrubbing requires accurate dosing of additives like corrosion inhibitors and anti-foam agents. Integrated pump and flow control systems ensure repeatable dosing and reduce chemical waste.
Gas mixing is vital for calibration and process optimisation. Automated mixers reduce cylinder handling and improve accuracy.
Membrane systems require stable upstream pressure to maintain separation efficiency. Dome-loaded regulators provide ultra-sensitive control.
Accurate flow measurement ensures custody transfer compliance and network balancing. Coriolis meters provide direct mass flow and density readings.
Sorbent preparation requires precise dosing of binders and additives to maintain performance. Ceramic piston pumps deliver repeatable dosing for critical formulations.
