Munters mist eliminators assist cement factories in carbon capture

In a European cement plant, Munters mist eliminators are deployed to manage condensate and fluid transfer during the CO2 capture process.

At a cement plant in Europe, CO2 is captured, then compressed and converted into liquid form so it can be transported to a location for permanent storage. To separate liquids and gases during this process, the plant enlisted the expertise of Spraybest. In the compression stage of the CO2 capture process, Munters mist eliminators are used to manage condensate and liquid transfer.

Why Munters Mist Eliminators?

The cement manufacturer aims to be fully climate-neutral by 2050. To achieve this, they decided to build a special facility within their plant to capture CO2 emissions. This facility ensures that CO2 is removed from the large amounts of emissions released during the production process. Munters mist eliminators play a crucial role in separating condensate and other liquids at the right moments, such as when the CO2 gas is converted into liquid for transport.

Benefits of Munters Mist Eliminators?

Efficient gas-liquid separation
Improved process performance

Help maintain optimal system conditions, minimize pressure loss, and improve energy efficiency
Environmentally friendly

Results of Munters Mist Eliminators?

The cement plant produces 1.2 million tons of cement annually. It is estimated that through the applications of Munters, 400,000 tons of CO2 will be captured each year, resulting in a one-time reduction of 50% of the plant's emissions. The carbon capture and storage operations will be fully operational by 2024. Spraybest is proud to contribute to this achievement.
