Utilising knowledge gained through many years of exposure to the chemical process and to the oil and gas industries, GLP is currently co-designing and building a CO2 capture plant near Biloela in central Queensland. The plant will take a 25 per cent side stream from the flue gas produced by the Research and Development Callide Oxyfuel Project at CS Energy’s Callide A coal-fired power station.
The plant will quench, compress, dry, clean, liquefy, and store 75 tonnes per day of CO2. To evaluate the benefits of this type of plant, a four-year study of its economics and process issues will be carried out after the plant has been commissioned.
GLP’s scope of work for this project includes designing and building the flue gas quench and initial scrubbing process, and the dehydration, liquefaction, storage and CO2 tanker filling systems.
Project co-designer Air Liquide Engineering is developing the compression and high pressure cryogenic cleaning of the CO2 stream, while GLP will be responsible for the installation of the whole plant.
The CO2 will be transported via road tanker approximately 200 kilometres to a site for geosequestration.
