Introducing two new technical papers

We are pleased to announce the release for two new technical papers, now available on our website. Both papers cover the latest developments in a fast-moving and developing sector - supercritical CO2 and the challenges presented by Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage.

1. Navigating the complexities of CCUS

As the world grapples with the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change, Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) has emerged as a crucial technology. CCUS offers a pathway to mitigate the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by capturing the gas at its source, utilising it in various industrial processes, or storing it deep underground.

Implementing CCUS on a large scale presents a myriad of challenges, particularly in the realm of materials science and engineering.

Among these challenges, the development of reliable sealing solutions for CO2 handling equipment, such as valves, is paramount.

This article explores the challenges faced in CCUS, particularly related to valves, and highlights James Walker’s contributions to overcoming these obstacles.

2. Validating compression packing for supercritcal CO2

As the demand for carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technology continues to grow, the need for effective and reliable sealing solutions in supercritical CO2 (sCO2) applications has become increasingly important. Among these sealing solutions, compression packing plays a pivotal role, particularly in valve stem sealing applications where the integrity of the seal is paramount for both operational efficiency and environmental safety.

This article examines the sealing challenges faced in CCUS and James Walker’s commitment to meeting these as part of its own drive for sustainability and environmental protection.
