High Energy Consumption and High Costs: The energy consumption of traditional amine-based carbon capture reaches 0.8-1.2 kWh/Nm³ CO₂, with a treatment cost as high as 300-500 RMB/ton. This accounts for over 40% of the total cost of CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) projects.
Equipment Corrosion and Solvent Degradation: Amine solutions such as MEA degrade at a rate of 1.5-3% per month under oxygen-containing conditions, increasing the risk of equipment corrosion and perforation. The annual maintenance cost for a 100,000-ton-scale unit exceeds 2 million RMB.
Difficulty in Capturing Low-Concentration CO₂: When the CO₂ concentration in flue gas is <15%, the efficiency of traditional adsorbents drops sharply by 50%. In biogas purification (30-45% CO₂), the methane loss rate is as high as 8%.
Secondary Environmental Pollution: Volatilization of amine solutions produces VOCs (such as nitrosamines), with emission concentrations 5-10 times higher than the limit specified in GB 31571.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Yipu CO₂ Removal System adopts the technology chain of “low-energy solvent – solar regeneration – intelligent control” to achieve:
Cost Disruption: The capture cost is reduced to 150 RMB/ton CO₂ (compared to over 300 RMB for traditional amine methods).
Long-Term Stability: The designed service life of key equipment is 20 years, with an availability rate of ≥98%.
Zero-Carbon Operation: Photovoltaic drive enables the system to achieve carbon-negative emissions throughout its life cycle.

Technical Principles
Yipu Three-Stage Low-Carbon Decarbonization Process
Pre-Treatment Enhancement (Stage 1): A cyclonic dust removal – chemical scrubbing tower removes 99% of dust, SOx, and NOx (to <1ppm) to protect subsequent systems.
Efficient Absorption (Stage 2): New low-energy solvent (NE-7):
Absorption capacity reaches 2.5mol CO₂/mol amine (compared to only 0.5 for MEA)
Regeneration temperature is reduced to 90℃ (120℃ for traditional methods), cutting energy consumption by 40%
Green Regeneration (Stage 3): Solar heat collection + waste heat steam drive the regeneration tower, saving 100% more energy than electric heating.
Intelligent Optimization: AI algorithms dynamically adjust solvent circulation volume to adapt to 5-30% CO₂ concentration fluctuations.
