Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. to co-operate with voestalpine

Optiperm™ carbon is a breakthrough carbon capture technology that unlocks low-cost, low-energy, all-electric, poison-resistant and chemical-free one-stop carbon capture.

Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. (CMS), a pioneer in separation solutions for low carbon intensity processes, is pleased to announce the launch of a new carbon capture pilot in collaboration with voestalpine. This project will further demonstrate the effectiveness of CMS technology in capturing carbon dioxide emissions from industrial processes in difficult to eliminate industries.

Under the agreement, CMS will utilise its Optiperm™ Carbon membrane technology in a bench and field rig that will capture process flue gas from voestalpine's power plant. The pilot will be commissioned in Q4 2023 and will operate at voestalpine's Linz plant in Austria. It will demonstrate the effectiveness of the technology in a real industrial environment and pave the way for possible subsequent phases involving larger-scale demonstrations.

CMS' advanced membrane technology offers significant advantages over conventional carbon capture methods, including reduced energy requirements and footprint, and is a fully standardised and electrified, chemical-free solution.
