BCCK and Carbon Clean sign agreement to deliver carbon capture solutions across the US

Carbon Clean, a leader in revolutionising carbon capture solutions, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and field construction services.

BCCK and Carbon Clean will collaborate to provide Carbon Clean’s semi-modular CaptureX technology to customers across the US. Priority sectors include oil & gas production, gas processing, air separation, power generation, landfill gas, biogas, and hydrogen.

Carbon Clean’s CaptureX technology is a cost-effective alternative to open-plant construction. The solution is 80% modularised and containerised, which significantly cuts installation time and simplifies integration with customers’ existing industrial operations.

The combination of BCCK’s experience in gas processing, as well as developing and commercialising technology, and Carbon Clean’s expertise in carbon capture, provides a specialised offering tailored to hard-to-abate industries. Through the MOU, BCCK and Carbon Clean will enable customers to accelerate progress towards industrial decarbonisation, while addressing the growing need for energy while minimising emissions.

Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean, said: “The opportunity to decarbonise is compelling, with carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) a crucial lever in the clean energy transition. Partnerships are key to accelerating the development and deployment of low-carbon solutions. Our collaboration with BCCK delivers tangible business and decarbonisation benefits through providing a proven alternative to open-plant construction, deployed in 49 sites globally.”

Kevin Blount, CEO of BCCK, said: “BCCK is excited to leverage its 40 plus year pedigree in gas processing to partner with Carbon Clean and deliver innovative solutions in support of the energy transition. The combination of Carbon Clean’s proven technology with BCCK’s integrated engineering, procurement, fabrication, installation and field construction services, is a natural fit for our clients’ decarbonisation goals.”

BCCK’s Nitech® Nitrogen Recovery Unit Features Environmentally Friendly Design For Reduced Emissions In Permian Basin

BCCK, a leader in engineering, procurement, fabrication and field construction services, has announced the receipt of an award of a NiTech® Style IV nitrogen rejection unit (NRU) in the Permian Basin.

The NRU will be designed to extract nitrogen from 125 MMSCFD residue gas from cryogenic gas processing facilities. The NRU incorporates BCCK’s latest Style IV NiTech® NRU technology in a modular skidded design that can handle compositional or flow capacity changes. BCCK’s design is a simple, non-complex process design which requires minimal operator attention.

Drew Schiller, director of business development gas processing, BCCK, said, “We are happy to be supporting another great client with a BCCK NiTech® NRU in the Permian Basin. Our advanced nitrogen rejection technology paves the way to a less complex, more reliable and lower-cost design.”

Schiller added, “With the tightening of pipeline specifications due to the increasing global demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG), the NRU utilizes BCCK’s patented NiTech® technology that employs a traditional cryogenic distillation process with no cryogenic rotating equipment to reduce nitrogen in gas.”

As a complete solutions provider, BCCK’s NRU technology has also played a direct role in the drive for renewable energy solutions. With a smaller footprint, the unique design lowers greenhouse gas emissions for landfill gas projects and requires minimal operator attention.
