CO₂ Compression and Well Injection

CCS

Compression and conditioning of a CO₂-rich stream containing impurities for geological storage. The CO₂ is compressed in three stages with intermediate cooling using cooling water, followed by final booster compression and cooling to reach the conditions required for injection. The compressed stream is subsequently sent to a CCS well for injection into an underground reservoir. The example illustrates multistage compression, intercooling and the handling of non-pure CO₂ streams in CCS applications.
