A -- BECHTEL NATIONAL IS TO DEVELOP A UNIQUEPROPRIETARY PROCESS TO CAPTURE THE CO2 IN THE FORM OF A SOLID HYDRATE AT RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE. POC Alexis Puher@ 304-285-4084 A -- Bechtel National is to develop the SIMTECHE CO2 HYDRATE SEPARATION PROCESS. THE PROPOSED CONCEPT IS TO CAPTURE THE CO2 IN THE FORM OF A SOLID HYDRATE AT RELATIVELY LOW TEMPERATURE. THIS IS A UNIQUE PROPRIETARY PROCESS. BECHTEL PROPOSES A 4 PHASE DEVELOPMENTAL PROJECT CULMINATING IN A FIELD TEST OF THE TECHNOLOGY. THIS INNOVATIVE APPROACH SEPARATES CO2 FROM SYNGAS USING WATER AT LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN IN EXISTING ABSORPTION AND ADSORPTION APPROACHES. Posted 07/29/99 (W-SN360378). (0210)
