Flue gas pre-treatment system for carbon capture
In the decarbonization of heavy industries, preparing flue gas for efficient carbon capture is essential. Ensuring clean and treated gas is necessary to mitigate the risk of trace contaminants and optimize the capture process.

Optimize gas conditions for carbon capture
The SETO Gas Pre-Treatment system by GEA is designed to condition flue gas to meet the required standards for carbon capture processes. It incorporates key steps such as cooling, condensation, and individualized gas cleaning configurations to address specific flue gas compositions. By reducing impurities like NOx, SOx, and particulates, the system lowers the risk of solvent decomposition in the absorption process and decreases the likelihood of deposit formation in the CO2 capture system. This results in reduced maintenance costs and improved operating stability for carbon capture plants. The system can use various components such as flue gas condensers, direct contact coolers, and wet electrostatic precipitators depending on specific requirements.
Benefits
- Reduced solvent make-up requirements
- Lower maintenance costs
- Stable and reliable operation
- Minimized risk of deposit formation
- Adaptable to various gas compositions
