Global Cement Magazine featured our innovative Optiperm™ technology for CO2 capture in their May issue.
The interview with Nicolas Renard, our Director of Carbon Solutions, and Martin Pischler, Senior Vice President of Sustainable Technologies & Decarbonization at RHI Magnesita, discusses the pilot project underway using Optiperm™ at RHI Magnesita's refractory plant in Austria.
Nic explains how Optiperm™ efficiently separates CO2 from industrial gas streams using specialized membranes. Key advantages highlighted include:
- Simple static system with no complex chemical processes
- Low power requirements - 30-35% less than other technologies
- Ultra-low water usage
- Small footprint - one 40ft container can capture 50,000 tons/year of CO2
Martin discusses why Optiperm™ is well-suited for their harsh operating conditions and space constraints at the century-old plant in Austria.
We're excited to work with leaders like RHI Magnesita to decarbonize heavy industry. As Nic states: "There is no reason why Ardent cannot produce enough Optiperm™ membranes to reach the large Mt or even Gt scale in the coming decades."
