Gulf Petrochemical Uses Mitsubishi CO2 Recovery Technology

Bahrain’s fertilizer and petrochemicals maker, Gulf Petrochemical Industries Co (GPIC) has reportedly using Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) license for carbon dioxide (CO2) recovery technology which application would be to recover CO2 from GPIC petrochemical plants.

The CO2 are emitted from the flue gas emitted which now can be use to capture material to increase urea and methanol production. As much as 450 tonnes per day capacity of CO2 (the world’s largest) is captured for the chemical application unit.

MHI is also looking at adapting the technology for production of dimethyl ether (DME) plus other chemical plants applications.
