Carbon Capture

Caber Engineering has been involved in CO2 capture since this technology became a viable solution to store gas and contribute to sustainable energy development. With more than 10 years of experience, Caber has an excellent track record in successfully designing systems to capture, process, transport, and inject both raw and produced CO2 streams from production operations.

This emerging technology is being pursued and implemented around the world and Caber is poised to lead the way and set the benchmark for developing large, commercial scale projects.

Project Profile

Currently, Caber is working with a client to capture, dehydrate, compress and transport CO2 from central Alberta to other areas of the province for enhanced oil recovery operations. This is one of the largest carbon capture projects in the world. Phase one scope entails capture, purify and transporting the feedstock to the injection area.

Caber has provided complete engineering design and procurement for other clients:

Recovery

• Two separate trains to recover, purify, compress and liquefy hot, low pressure and wet CO2. Project consisted of approximately 5000 HP of compression.
• Single train to recover, purify and compress hot, low pressure, sour, and wet CO2. Project consisted of approximately 3000 HP of compression.
• Consulted with others to resolve operating and design deficiencies in smaller facilities producing food and commercial grade CO2.
  

 

Transportation

• Provided engineering services on pipeline design and operation, including the design of depressurizing equipment for future tie-ins.
• Initial modeling of pipeline hydraulics, later followed by the installation of a pipeline pump station. This pump, which operates near the vapour pressure curve, boosts mainline pressure as field pressure climbs.

Production

• Provided consulting services to a large production facility in Saskatchewan to resolve design and operating deficiencies.
• Provided complete engineering and procurement services to install equipment to process additional produced CO2 and oil over several years (three phases) as production increased in the field.
• Modified a refrigeration unit to recover produced CO2 in an early production system prior to full battery design.
