Direct Air Capture (DAC) Testing With FTIR
4
Removal of CO2 from the atmosphere itself, rather than at the emission source, has been proposed as a technology to slow the rate of global temperature rises. Protea’s analysers are used to test this technology. Using Protea’s FTIR gas analyser, developers of Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology have been able to show the efficiency of removal of CO2 from the atmosphere. By using a hybrid FTIR that can be used in a fixed cabinet but also removed for portable use, technologists have carried out testing across multiple sample locations within pilot plants.

The FTIR analyser is optimised to measure low range, 0-500ppm CO2, so that ambient air and then CO2-free air can be tested. Not only CO2, but the benefit of FTIR is that other gases in ambient air such as CH4 and N2O can also be monitored. Installing the plants near to more highly polluting processes, even ambient NOx can be measured through the process.
