Carbon Capture

As global awareness of resource use, circularity, and carbon emissions grows, Badotherm supports industries in their efforts to build a more sustainable future. Our advanced pressure measurement systems enable transformative technologies in carbon capture and advanced recycling, overcoming challenges in extreme operational environments to drive impactful change.

Carbon Capture Storage & Utilization (CCS & CCU)

Pre-Combustion Capture

Carbon capture and storage technologies (CCS) are essential for reducing emissions while ensuring energy security, capturing CO₂ from industrial sources and power plants for storage or conversion into valuable by-products.

Molten salt-based systems, using advanced carbonate or borate mixtures, efficiently absorb CO₂ at high temperatures. These salts enable catalytic reactions that transform CO₂ into fuels or materials, offering scalable solutions for decarbonization. This process involves high pressures, aggressive chemicals, and elevated temperatures, requiring robust and reliable process instrumentation.

Blue Ammonia is another of one of those CCS technologies. It captures and stores (or utilizes) the CO₂ emissions generated from natural gas-based hydrogen production.
from natural gas-based hydrogen production. This approach combines the conventional SMR process with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology and then utilizes the Haber-Bosch process to combine the “blue hydrogen” and nitrogen to create ammonia.

Badotherm’s innovative diaphragm seals provide precise pressure monitoring in extreme conditions, ensuring safe and reliable CCS operations. By supporting these technologies, we help drive the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon future.

Post-Combustion Capture

Advanced recycling processes, such as plastics-to-oil and waste-to-chemicals, are critical to reducing waste and reusing valuable resources. These processes, including pyrolysis and other high-temperature techniques, operate at extreme heat levels, often exceeding 500°C. Molten salts may be used as heat transfer or catalytic media, adding further complexity.

Badotherm’s pressure measurement systems are engineered to perform reliably in such conditions, resisting corrosion, thermal cycling, and intense heat. Our solutions support efficient operations, enabling circular resource recovery and minimizing environmental impact.

Oxy-Fuel Combustion

Oxy-Fuel Combustion burns fuel in nearly pure oxygen instead of air, producing flue gas rich in CO₂ and water vapor with minimal nitrogen. Recycling part of this gas controls flame temperatures, and condensing the water leaves a concentrated CO₂ stream that’s easily purified and compressed for storage or reuse — making carbon capture simpler, more energy-efficient, and cost-effective for low-carbon power and industry.

Badotherm’s robust diaphragm seal systems and accurate pressure transmitters ensure safe, reliable measurement from oxygen production to CO₂ compression, protecting instruments from heat, corrosion, and condensation to keep the entire process stable and efficient.
