Dotz Nano (ASX:DTZ) a leading developer of innovative climate and industrial technologies, has completed the construction of a bench-scale demonstration unit for its carbon capture innovation ‘Dotz Earth’.
Testing and validation of Dotz’s ‘nano-porous carbon sorbent’ occurred at SINTEF’s laboratories and revealed a threefold increase in adsorption capacity compared to a commercially available activated carbon sorbent, along with an increased selectivity over nitrogen (N2).
“As a pioneer in the research and development of climate technologies, with longstanding experience in CCUS technologies, the initial results obtained on Dotz’s adsorbent speak directly to the strength of the technology, showing superior properties compared with the commercial sorbent case study,” SINTEF Research Manager Jasmina Cavka said.
“These enhanced properties further support potential cost savings and provide a basis for advancing the technology towards its next stage of demonstration.”
Process simulations employing SINTEF’s validated Moving Bed Temperature Swing Process (MBTSA) demonstrated superior outcomes compared to ‘conventional sorbents’.
The positive results from the sorbent validation testing and process simulations suggest the potential to substantially reduce the cost of CO2 capture.
The company plans to follow this with the design and construction of a small-scale pilot unit, to further advance the technology toward market viability.
