SEPCO’s Commitment to Carbon Capture Innovations



Carbon CaptureCarbon capture, a pivotal technology in the fight against climate change, requires sophisticated systems and processes to effectively capture, transport, and store CO2 emissions. SEPCO’s experience in sealing solutions and rotating equipment, plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficiency and reliability of carbon capture processes.

  • Mechanical Seals: Carbon capture processes heavily rely on machinery such as compressors, pumps, and other rotating equipment. SEPCO’s specialization in mechanical seals ensures that these machines function optimally without any leaks. Given the significance of carbon capture, even minor leaks could undermine the entire effort. SEPCO’s seals are designed to meet the unique demands of carbon capture applications, including handling high pressures and potentially corrosive environments.
  • Materials Expertise: Carbon capture often employs solvents that absorb CO2. Some of these solvents can be corrosive, challenging the durability of machinery and seals. SEPCO’s vast knowledge of materials science comes into play here. By selecting and recommending the right materials, such as carbon, ceramic, or silicon carbide, SEPCO ensures that seals and other components remain resilient in the face of such corrosive agents.
  • Customized Solutions: Each carbon capture installation might have unique challenges due to varying operational conditions, such as fluid properties, temperature, and pressure. SEPCO’s engineering team excels at crafting tailored sealing solutions that address these specific parameters, ensuring maximum efficiency and durability.
  • Monitoring and Maintenance: Reliability is vital in carbon capture systems. To that end, SEPCO’s innovative monitoring tools, like the SAMS process, empower operators to proactively monitor seal conditions, anticipate potential issues, and reduce unexpected downtime.
  • Training and Support: SEPCO offers comprehensive training sessions, both online and offline, to educate teams on the best practices of installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting seal systems within carbon capture applications. This ensures that equipment is always functioning at its peak, reducing risks associated with system failures.
  • Safety and Environmental Commitment: SEPCO’s seals prioritize not only operational efficiency but also environmental safety. By preventing harmful leaks, our goal is to contribute to the broader goal of carbon capture: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and environmental footprint.

SEPCO’s expertise in sealing solutions positions us as a valuable partner for any carbon capture initiative. By ensuring reliability, safety, and efficiency, SEPCO accelerates the journey toward a more sustainable industrial landscape.
