Project description:

Vortis is a carbon management company based in Calgary, AB, focused on developing simple and affordable ways to capture, convert, and market carbon emissions.

In collaboration with the University of British Columbia and NGIF, Vortis aims to reduce the costs and liabilities associated with carbon emission mitigation associated with oil and gas production. The scope of the proposed work seeks to optimize and test Vortis’s (SDS) at a bench scale to inform the commercial viability and scale up for a 100 kg/day laboratory pilot. The expected outcomes from this project include the validation of the SDS novel capture approach, the verification of our CFD model and optimization of the model parameters to reduce uncertainty, performance metrics of the SDS unit using real flue gas, and a series of recommendations for the improvement of the design towards improving the CO2 capture efficiency.
