Covanta Pilot Carbon Capture Project

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign aims to advance their transformational biphasic CO2 absorption process (BiCAP) by utilizing the technology to capture CO2 from Covanta’s waste-to-energy facility located in Indianapolis, Indiana at 95% CO2 capture efficiency and ≥95% CO2 purity. This work will demonstrate BiCAP’s technical, economic, and environmental advantages through design, fabrication, testing, and assessment of a 2.5-tonne-per-day CO2 engineering-scale, integrated capture system under real flue gas conditions at the plant. Testing results will help advance the technology toward commercial development and demonstrate its applicability to waste-to-energy facilities.
