Flowserve wins ADNOC contract to deploy flow control tech for groundbreaking CCS project
Flowserve has been awarded a contract to supply Dry Gas Seals and Dry Gas Seal Systems to support a groundbreaking initiative for ADNOC. ADNOC's large-scale CCS project aims to capture 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide annually.
The initiative will be accomplished through Flowserve鈥檚 collaboration with Celeros Flow Technology (Celeros), a major force in the flow control technology space providing solutions that deliver outstanding performance while minimizing environmental impacts.
In 2023, ADNOC announced the development of one of the largest carbon capture projects in the Middle East and North Africa region that will enable the capture and storage of 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO鈧) annually, which is the equivalent to the emission of more than 326,000 vehicles. The project is a part of ADNOC鈥檚 wider decarbonization strategy and involves the installation of two high-pressure injection packages in ADNOC鈥檚 Habshan gas plant. Flowserve will provide Dry Gas Seals and Dry Gas Seal Systems that will be integrated into the high-pressure injection packages supplied by Celeros. This will pioneer the first-ever continuous supercritical CO鈧 (sCO鈧) pump injection services for enhanced oil recovery in the market.
鈥淯ndertaking a project like this requires ingenuity and close collaboration to navigate complex technical challenges and ensure this system will be efficient, functional and reliable,鈥 said Lamar Duhon, President, Flowserve Pumps Division. 鈥淲e are thrilled that through our team鈥檚 expertise, along with our joint efforts with Celeros, we have developed a revolutionary solution that exemplifies the dynamic capabilities of our sealing solutions. Guided by our 3D strategy to diversify, decarbonize and digitize, we are excited to be a part of ADNOC鈥檚 ambitious decarbonization journey, furthering both Flowserve鈥檚 and Celeros鈥 commitment to helping the world reduce carbon emissions."
Once the initiative is fully operational, the injection packages, which feature Celeros鈥 advanced high-pressure BB5 pump technology, will handle the captured sCO鈧 and transport it from ADNOC鈥檚 Habshan facility to its Bab Far North Field Development CO鈧 Storage Hub via a dedicated pipeline. By 2030, ADNOC aims to increase its carbon capture capacity to five million tons annually.
With the innovative application of pumps for sCO鈧 applications, the use of Flowserve鈥檚 sealing solutions in this capacity marks a significant technological achievement in the field of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), signifying the company鈥檚 growing leadership in the decarbonization market as demand for innovative CCS solutions grows.
