TRAINING: IMPERIAL COLLEGE & ABB PARTNERSHIP
FACTS The carbon capture pilot plant is part of Imperial College’s £8.9m ChemEngSpace Project. Over 300 Imperial College undergraduate chemical engineering students have access to the facility each year. It will also be part of the College’s new international summer school for chemical engineering education. More than 8,000 undergraduates will be trained during the plant’s 25-year lifespan. The plant was originally designed by Strata Technology and built by Tecno Project Industriale (Italy). It was installed and commissioned in conjunction with JMS and Charter Tech. The plant was commissioned in February 2012 and has a capacity for 50kg/hour capture of carbon dioxide (CO2). ABB, whose relationship with Imperial College spans over 20 years, has invested close to £1m and signed a 10-year agreement to support the lifecycle of the plant.
