Because carbon dioxide (CO2) is in the atmosphere, it naturally exists in compressed air. Like humans can breathe in low concentrations of CO2 without harm, its presence does not negatively impact most compressed air applications. However, some applications require CO2 to be removed to maintain functionality. Pioneer Air offers the industry’s most efficient and reliable CO2 dryers to protect your critical systems, downstream equipment, and end products.
Our CO2 scrubbing and capture technologies remove carbon dioxide from your compressed air systems and processes using microporous, aluminosilicate minerals. We can design, manufacture, assemble, and program indoor and outdoor CO2 dryers to your precise requirements. And because we develop all our carbon capture technology to operate in the most efficient way, you’re not only reducing carbon dioxide emissions but also your energy usage. Pioneer is also a leading supplier of desiccants and filters, making us your single-source for all carbon dioxide purification needs.
Pioneer’s CO2 dryers have two very specific applications. One is CO2 compression from natural resources and flue gas, where you take the carbon dioxide then filter and dry it for use in carbonated beverages. Factories vaporize dry ice and convert it into a product used at gas stations. The other application, which is rapidly growing, is used at enhanced oil recovery facilities. These facilities use carbon dioxide to move oil well boards in tertiary recovery. By using anthropogenic carbon dioxide, you can gain substantial tax credits. But to earn a tax credit, the oil field must maintain set standards. To do that, Pioneer’s CO2 purification process separates CO2 that comes back with oil, removes the hydrocarbons, and then dries it for reinjection.
When you use a Pioneer Air dryer to capture CO2, you gain several advantages, including:
As governments around the world look to reduce greenhouse gasses and emissions, clean, dry CO2 is becoming a lucrative commodity. When you use Pioneer’s carbon dioxide dryers for the CO2 purification process, you can also use the system to capture and store it.
Once you remove particles and have clean CO2 gas, you can sell it in the form of tax credits, often referred to as carbon offsets. The Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change has strict compliance standards you must meet for the sale of clean CO2, which highlights the importance of following the best cleaning method practices for CO2 scrubbing and sequestration.
Not all businesses have a long-term need for clean CO2 solutions or can afford the investment in a new system. To help you optimize the CO2 purification process and protect your budget, Pioneer offers attractive leasing options. Reach out today to discuss our leasing options more in-depth.
