Flowserve Corporation, a global name in flow control products and services, has bagged a contract to provide dry gas seals and dry gas seal systems for an innovative carbon capture initiative led by Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC).
The project, undertaken in collaboration with Celeros Flow Technology, marks a significant step toward reducing environmental impacts while delivering cutting-edge performance.
ADNOC’s Ambitious Decarbonization Strategy
In 2023, ADNOC unveiled its plans to develop one of the largest carbon capture projects in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The initiative aims to capture and store 1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) annually, which is equivalent to the emissions from over 326,000 vehicles.
As part of ADNOC’s comprehensive decarbonization strategy, the project includes the installation of two high-pressure injection packages at the Habshan gas plant.
Flowserve and Celeros Lead the Way
Flowserve will supply advanced dry gas seals and seal systems that will integrate into Celeros’ high-pressure injection packages.
Together, these components will pioneer the first-ever continuous supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) pump injection services for enhanced oil recovery.
The collaboration demonstrates the companies’ ability to navigate complex technical challenges and deliver efficient, reliable solutions.
“Successfully executing a project of this scale requires ingenuity and teamwork,” said Lamar Duhon, President of Flowserve Pumps Division.
Duhon, added, “Through our expertise and partnership with Celeros, we’ve developed an innovative solution that supports ADNOC’s bold decarbonization goals. Our efforts align with Flowserve’s 3D strategy to diversify, decarbonize, and digitize, showcasing our commitment to reducing global carbon emissions”.
Advanced Technology to Enable Carbon Storage
Once operational, the high-pressure injection packages featuring Celeros’ state-of-the-art BB5 pump technology will manage captured sCO₂.
The systems will transport the CO₂ from ADNOC’s Habshan facility. It will be sent to the Bab Far North Field Development CO₂ Storage Hub via a dedicated pipeline.
ADNOC aims to expand its carbon capture capacity to five million tons annually by 2030. This underscores its commitment to sustainability and innovation.
A Milestone in Carbon Capture and Storage
Flowserve’s sealing solutions, designed for sCO₂ applications, represent a significant breakthrough in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology.
The achievement highlights Flowserve’s growing influence in the decarbonization market. It also reinforces the company’s position as a key player in meeting the global demand for innovative CCS solutions.
As reported by morningstar.com, Flowserve and Celeros are integrating cutting-edge technology with forward-thinking strategies. They are contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable future. This supports ADNOC’s ambitious carbon reduction efforts.
