Launch of MemKoWI in Dillingen – Separation of CO2 and hydrogen from industrial gases

In the BMWK project Membrane processes for the separation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen from industrial gases – MemKoWI – nine partners from industry and science are developing innovative gas separation processes for a modern and sustainable industrial society.

The test plant developed by the Helmholtz Centre Hereon at the Institute for Membrane Research (Hereon) for the separation of CO2 from industrial gases using membrane processes was successfully connected to the Aktien-Gesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke (Dillinger) on the site of the blast furnace gas power plant in Dillingen, the Dillinger announced.

All functional tests of the various test variants planned as part of the MemKoWI multi-partner project funded by the BMWK were then successfully completed.

Within the MemKoWI project, various tests on the industrial suitability for the separation of CO2 from flue gas of the power plant and subsequently from blast furnace top gas will be carried out in the coming months.

The aim here is to create conditions for CO2 separation from large industrial plants such as steel production. The separated CO2 can then be used as a raw material in other industries, for example, and thus significantly reduce CO2 emissions from steel production.

Various polymer and ceramic membrane materials from Hereon and the Jülich Research Centre (FZJ) will be used for this purpose.
