Carbon Capture Solutions
Cutting-edge, highly-performance amine-based CO2 capture plants.
Carbon Capture, also known as CO2 capturing, is a process for reducing CO2 emissions from industrial processes and power generation sources. By capturing CO2 before it is released into the atmosphere, this advanced Carbon Capture Technology can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and optimize your path to carbon neutrality. Implementing this technology allows industries to mitigate their impact on climate change more effectively and efficiently.
The implementation of our CEBO® Carbon Capture Technology is an investing in the future. Our solutions can be customized to meet industry specific needs so that you can get the most out of your investment.

The principle of CO2 capture utilizing physical-chemical absorption processes has been known for several decades and has proven itself in the processes of sour gas treatment, natural gas or biogas processing, and ammonia production. The challenge for CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) is to adapt these concepts for oxygen-rich flue gases from heavy industry. GEA shows its strength here, as the company has been active in flue gas treatment system for decades. We have extensive knowledge of the accompanying trace substances and critical points when integrating a CO2 capture process into existing flue gas systems.
Our liquid scrubbing with amine chemistry for the separation of CO2 from flue gas streams offers technological excellence and enables a rapid implementation in existing plants while minimizing negative impacts on upstream processes.
The process configuration consists of a combination of absorber column and desorber column. The flue gas enters the CO2 capture unit, i.e. the absorber column, where the CO2 is chemically absorbed into the amine solution. The CO2-depleted flue gas is released into the environment at the top of the absorption column after it has been cleaned of amine emissions in additional purification stages.
The enriched amine solution is fed from the sump of the absorber column into the desorber column after passing through a heat exchanger for preheating. In the desorber, the solution is heated further to release the chemically bound CO2. The released CO2 is recovered as a product stream at the top of the desorber column after the condensation of water. The purity of the CO2 stream is typically over 97 percent (at 2 bara and 40 °C), with the residue consisting mainly of water vapor. Depending on the intended use of the CO2, further purification steps may be required.
The amine solutions used by GEA are commercially available and are continuously tested in various industries using GEA's own pilot plants. The entire process chain, from pretreatment to the separation of the gaseous CO2, is based on extensive experimental data on gas composition, separation efficiency and solvent performance.
And the best news for our customers: Thanks to our process guarantees, our customers assume no risk when they engage GEA for a carbon capture project.
