JGC Corporation has announced the start of a joint demonstration test (hereinafter "the Test") with Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (hereinafter "JOGMEC") on CO2 recovery using zeolite membranes from February 1, 2019.
In the Test, the CO2 recovery process (hereinafter "the Process") using the DDR-type zeolite membrane(*1) jointly developed by NGK INSULATORS, LTD. (hereinafter "NGK") and JGC will be used for the first time in the world to recover CO2 from associated gas.
The details are as follows:
(*1) Zeolite is a microporous crystalline aluminosilicate. Many varieties of zeolite are currently being synthesized artificially and used industrially as a catalyst, adsorbent, etc. DDR is one of zeolite's framework structures.
