CO₂ utilization: High accuracy instrumentation or how to optimize CCUS

Real-time monitoring using Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) and Quenched Fluorescence /QF) is the most effective method for eliminating CO₂ contaminants and securing financial compliance.

By detecting impurities like moisture, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide at the molecular level, these technologies prevent the corrosion and equipment damage that lead to costly downtime. In the high-stakes CCUS market, precise CO₂ analysis is no longer just a safety requirement; It is a financial necessity for carbon credit verification and meeting the strict purity standards required for carbonated beverages and chemical feedstocks.

Our TDLAS and QF analyzers provide the technical proof required for these critical processes:

• Low total cost of ownership: minimal maintenance, no moving parts and no consumables
• Reliable operation in harsh environments: : Engineered for high performance in harsh, high-pressure industrial environments
• Instantaneous response: High-speed analysis allows for immediate process adjustments
• Trustworthy verification: Online validation options ensure your data is accurate for regulatory reporting.

Achieving maximum oil recovery in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) projects requires precise mass flow measurement of CO₂ at reservoir pressures, often exceeding PN 250 (Class 1500).

As oil field pressure and production decline, injecting CO₂ in its dense-phase (gas with liquid-like properties), is critical to reduce oil viscosity barriers and enabling further oil recovery. Our high-pressure Coriolis mass flowmeter are engineered specifically to handle these extreme conditions, providing the accuracy needed to optimize injection rates and extend the productive life of the field.

• Maximum safety & Durability: Superior resistance against stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in high-pressure environments
• Extreme pressure ratings: Certified for process pressure up to PN 250 (Class 1500) to meet deep-well injection requirements
• Heartbeat technology: Enables continuous, in-situ device verification and advanced  diagnostics without interrupting the process, ensuring 24/7 reliability.

Why precision measurement matters in CO₂ injection

Maintaining the efficiency of a CCUS-EOR operation depends on more than just moving volume; it requires managing the miscibility of the CO₂ with the oil:

Optimize Synthesis yield through multivariable process control

The production of synthetic fuels from renewable hydrogen and captured CO₂, involves complex flow loops in various phases, where Vortex flowmeter technology excels.

Maintaining a stable synthesis process requires more than just basic flow monitoring; it requires a deep understanding of the medium's physical state:

• Phase management: Vortex technology excels in steam, gas, and liquid phases, ensuring consistent feedstock delivery even in fluctuating conditions.
• Reduced complexity: By providing multivariable data from a single point of entry, our meters simplify infrastructure and reduce potential leak points in high-pressure loops.
• Certified safety integrity: Meeting rigorous safety standards ensures that your Power-to-X facility remains compliant and protected against process anomalies.

Using Memosens glass-free pH sensors is the most reliable way to utilize CO₂ for precise pH control while eliminating the risk of product contamination. In dairy and bakery production, CO₂ is a critical resource for shelf-life extension and texture control, but the instrumentation must meet rigorous food safety standards. Our digital Memosens technology allows for lab-based pre-calibration and provides a 100% glass-free solution, ensuring maximum uptime and full regulatory compliance on the factory floor.

Technical Proof: Why memosens leads in food safety

To ensure long-term stability and ROI in hygienic environments, our liquid analysis portfolio features:

• Zero-glass risk: The glass-free sensor shaft (ISFET technology) eliminates the possibility of breakage in the production line, protecting your brand and consumers
• Plug-and-play maintenance: Sensors are pre-calibrated in the lab and hot-swapped in the field, reducing maintenance time and maximizing process uptime
• Inductive signal transfer: Memosens technology uses a non-contact, moisture-resistant connection that eliminates corrosion and signal interference common in damp dairy environments
• Hygienic compliance: All materials are FDA-compliant and designed to withstand CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-in-Place) cycles.

Achieve regulatory compliance and consistent yield

Precise CO₂ utilization in food processing is a balance of chemistry and economics. High-accuracy pH monitoring ensures that every batch meets specific quality benchmarks:

• Full data traceability to guarantee product safety: Traceability through digital Memosens technology logs sensor health and calibration history, simplifying audits and financial compliance
• Precise pH control:  Accurate dosing of CO₂ directly correlates to maximized product yield and consistent flavor profiles
• Reduced operational costs: Extended sensor lifetime and reduced manual calibration efforts lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).
