Expanding carbon capture into hard-to-abate sectors like cement, steel, power, and waste-to-energy presents significant challenges. Flue gases contain particulates, NOx, and SOx, which impact system efficiency, cost, and environmental performance. Even minor impurities in the CO₂ stream can complicate usage, transport, or sequestration.

Effective pre-treatment is essential to remove contaminants before CO₂ capture. As flue gas composition varies by plant, expert consultation is key to identifying the best techno-economic solution.

Gore Gas Pre-Treatment Solutions

Gore delivers simplified, high-performance filtration solutions tailored to CCUS needs in hard-to-abate industries. Our all-dry, low-pressure drop system removes NO, NO₂, SO₂, SO₃, and particulate in a single unit operation. For ultrafine particulate, we offer GORE LOW DRAG membrane bags and hydrophobic HEPA filters. Wet gas streams needing Mercury or SO₂ polishing can integrate Gore’s Hg/SO₂ control modules with a DCC or wet scrubber.

Key Benefits

  • Fewer unit operations – Multi-pollutant filters reduce CAPEX & footprint
  • Lower operating costs – High-efficiency removal at low pressure drop
  • Simplified permitting – Dry NOx, SOx & PM solution reduces complexity
